2 kinds of people

I have decided that there are two kinds of people in this world.

Yeah. To hell with race, religion, gender, blah blah blah...

It's all about who drives the stick or who doesn't.

If you're thinking... "huh?"... lemme essplain.

There are those who can/like to drive the stick (get your minds out of the gutter now people, I'm referring to driving manual transmissions) and those who don't. I am one of those people who like to drive the stick (BTW, that time I WAS referring to the male genitalia...). But I also like to drive manual transmissions. I feel I have better control over my speed and, more importantly, my take off. Of course, I haven't really driven the stick (talking about a car again) in over 2 years, so I am a bit rusty (still talking about the car version). Case in point, I think I think I stalled like 10 times this weekend.

Oh well. Such is life.

If you're wondering where in the hell this is coming from, well... it's coming from the fact that I bought a new car on Friday. Woo! :) Here he is:



He's a 2007 Scion tC. Black. 5-speed transmission (duh). And of course, it has all of the fun/basic Scion features. Sunroof, cruise control, CD/MP3 player, moonroof in the back, 17" allow wheels, etc.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this folks, but you see when I'm feeling down or out of sorts...which I guess I have been lately, I like to go shopping. Only this time I decided to go shopping for a car.

I probably should have stuck to the mall, but either way, it's done.

Actually, speaking of the mall. I bought a new dress yesterday. It's hot. I'll have to post a pic (just give me a couple more weeks of running) soon.

Back to my sweet ass new ride. He needs a name... and if you say "Black Beauty" I will never speak to you again - because THAT is lame.

Don't test me on this.

Sooooooo... any suggestions?

I'm lazy when it comes to the stick (of course I'm talking about the car now too). I fear stalling out at a light or something. I avoid it if I can.

Love the car! Niiiice!! Congrats on that!

Let me think of some names....

How about Black Stallion since it is a stick? :) lol

I love the car. Very Pretty, or should I say handsome.

I'm assuming it's a boy due to the stick?
How about Oscar? Keeps things simple.
Sammy?
Nacho?

Ohh wait you said "She's a 2007..."

Damn.
Back to the drawing board.
Thank goodness there is still plenty of room...

I changed my mind.. it's a he. I agree... if it's gotta stick... it's gotta be a "boy" car.

Speed tool ... Johnson ... OOo I got it. Clutch!

Nice car. First car I learned to drive was a `74 Mercury Capri 4 speed.

I had a Honda Civic and this girl I worked with used to borrow it just so she could drive a stick. She fetched lunch a few times just to drive. I swore she came back with afterglow.
