I guess the dumbing-down of our youth, has an upside.

:doh:

Amazing. Just amazing.

We've got a porter here at work who can't drive stick! He's 19 and has no idea how to drive one! What an embarrassment!

Speaking of sticks...if I had any excess money (you'd be amazed how much goes to wife and baby...)...I might be all over this:

2006 Nissan Xterra 6 Speed Manual Transmisson 4X4

I know it is not a 4runner, but this is the first time (that I can remember) seeing one of these...used or new.

"They apparently couldn't start it,” Bean 51, is quoted as saying in a police report. “I had to tell him four different times to push in the clutch, because it's a standard transmission."

Perfect. No need to shoot anybody, just drive a manual. :lmao:

jwyshrek: way back when I had a 2001 Xterra 4X4 manual. It was awesome. Unfortunately, I got married and my wife had no clue how to drive a stick (insert joke here). I tried to teach her, but she was not interested (insert second joke here). I had to get rid of it and got a Chev Trailblazer instead (mistake), before moving on to the Runner.

^^yeah, I do. I like my 4R MUCH more, but I do miss driving a manual. Stupid wife :jk:

Me too. I almost got a Civic with a 6speed, but that meant wifey would have sole custody of my 4Runner. Screw that.

Anyway, forget not knowing how to drive a stick, forget the sec. system, etc etc.

Pretty sad how in South Africa car jacking is soo bad, that they have to resort to this. I love it!

That's awesome. All you gotta do now is wire it up to be activated by a remote or door sensor so when a thief tries to break in to the car, they get set on fire.
