Guess the Amish don’t teach their kids how to use a stick-shift! Sarc.
Enjoy jail you two dumb ducks,!!!!
Does not say what is model of little blue car. Lol
borrowing that. :)
When I was a state copper working in Cook County I was in Chicago in the Greektown restaurant area when my partner and I monitored a Chicago Police Dept flash message about a car jacking that had just occurred in the area within the last few minutes.
Just moments after we made note of it, we heard cars honking at a late model import that was moving slowly in the left lane, jerking and stopping as other cars swerved around it. Since it matched the description of the suspect vehicle, we made a felony stop, detained three suspects who had two pistols in the car, and notified CPD Tactical officers to meet us at the scene.
These suspects were subsequently identified as the offenders in the car jacking, and the reason for the erratic driving that had captured our attention was the fact that the ringleader driver couldn’t operate the 5 speed manual transmission in it very well. One of his accomplices was an 18 wheel truck driver who was entirely capable of driving it, but the boss said that he had always wanted to drive a stick shift and this would be his first chance, so he ordered his buddy to stand down and took the wheel himself.
We wouldn’t catch so many of these clowns if so many weren’t so damn stupid.
As a result of this experience, my 2010 Hummer H3 has a 5 speed manual trans. The transmission also helps me to get the most performance from a relatively heavy vehicle with a relatively small engine. (3.7L 250 hp, but moving 4800 lbs).

The car owner was lucky the “yutes” didn’t shoot him out of spite.
Didn't they learn how to steal cars with manual transmission at their school: George Floyd Center for Thuggery and Other Criminal Activities?
None of my three adult daughters have ever driven a vehicle with a manual transmission. They would be clueless to how to go about it.
I’ll bet their fathers are going to be so embarrassed about this.
