“It’s something like this: Start out in first, accelerate to 10 mph. Shift into second”
That leaves out the part when you’re stopped on a steep hill and there’s a car behind you.
I’ve heard that today’s automatic transmissions are more efficient than manual ones. Don’t some of them have 8 speeds?
My husband’s niece and husband just moved to The Woodlands, TX from California. He is still getting his California salary. That’s a really sweet deal. They say they are conservative...but how conservative are Californians? I hope they quickly learn to be Texas conservatives.
I was just reading reviews on the new Bronco. You can get it in manual or a 10 speed automatic.
On another page there was an article about an electric(?) Ferrari(?) I think. To save weight there is no reverse! Seriously. (It appeared to be a street legal race car, but still - no reverse?)
The article states FL and SC are getting the most.
I travel between Broward and Orange counties in FL.
We used to think Orange county was liberal!
Barely any masks up here in Orlando.
But in Broward, I walk around and feel like going BAA, BAAA.
Broward is the giant tumor on the great state of Florida.
Overall though Florida is a great state, thanks to Gov. DeSantis.

“To save weight there is no reverse!”
Puzzling. Reversing a DC electric motor is just a matter of reversing the direction of the current flowing into the motor — a switch.
If someone knows more about this please speak up.
That link goes back to the thread it was posted on.
“How conservative are Californians?”
We gave you Reagan.
California was quite competitive for Republicans until the idiotic Amnesty of Reagans (betrayed by the lying Dems) and the ‘New World Order” and open borders of Bush I and II.
It’s the Republican Party that backstabbed California; it’s why I get really pissed when ignorant idiots bloviate about ‘Commiefornia’ and such; until the GOP let us get overrun we had a much more competitive environment for conservativism.
I’m not leaving; I was born here, I’ve lived hear most of my life, I’ve lived in the same house for 52 years. If I did, I think I’d get along in Texas fine, got guns, a Chevy Pick-up, can play C&W and Bluegrass on an upright bass and usually wear Tony Lamas and a custom western-style hat. I like the Texas attitude, but the wife does NOT like heat :-)
The only downside I’ve seen with WFH is my desk is 10-12 feet from my refrigerator.
