Complimented my stick shift driving skills.
Nailed a perfect 3/2 heel-toe downshift and she said "Bubba, you drive stick better than my dad. He's been driving stick his whole life."
Success.

Damn it I need to learn how to heel-toe

I swear, it was literally the SECOND one I've ever nailed. Thought I'd give it a try to show off, and it payed off haha

As I said , chicks dig the driving skillz. Until your married, then it's of no interest to them whatsoever.

I just realized, after seeing this photo hundreds of times, that that kid has sand in his mouth

It took me a while, too. However, I've known for a long time that the face we all associate with epic victory is simply the face of a kid realizing how shitty sand tastes.
It's still a cool picture, though.

So was this the same girl you were looking for advice on this past weekend?
Or was it another one, PLAYA?

With how much y'all complain about it, the clear solution is not to get married, but people look at me like I'm the crazy one if I say that.

May be you are may be you aren't.
It's the best thing that ever happened to me, personally. Now that we have a 2 year-old, it's doubly so. Me and my wife together are a very potent team, take us as individuals, and people would be much less impressed.

Just do it. Seriously, it's the only way to learn.

I have tried so many times, and although I think I have gotten it right, my car never made the cool downshift noises... Still, I discovered that I could pop the exhaust if I downshifted. I dont know if I was doing it wrong, but I will try it with the new car.

Don't worry about fucking it up and you won't fuck it up.

We must become masters of the shift!

Good that I shouldn't worry
Now if I can just get the manual car off the rack and remember to try the heal-toe...

Oh, they ACT like it's of no interest...
*nails perfect down shift*
You: "yeaaaahhhh!"
Her: "you think you're pretty slick, huh?"

I have seen so many youtube videos. still, want to try it with a new car, but when I found out that when I downshifted my old car made a POP I tried it at EVERY stop light. So addicting, even if it was the same kind of sound my microwave makes when you put a Caprisun to make tea, and it overheats, and explodes.

DIFFERENT GIRL haha
About the girl I was looking for advice for, I'm taking her out Thursday night. Drunken fish for sushi (she's a pescatarian, GASP!). Hitting up Forest Park for a walk after dinner then the Custard Stand in downtown Kirkwood to finish up the night. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited haha

Somehow I never saw your post from that night. The James Lipton reference cracked me up haha
Hopefully my Datsun will be road legal in a few days so I can pick her up for a cruise!

Now I am determined to buy a car with a gated shifter and master the heal-toe
That will get me to epic status

The Mom posted a picture of him a few years later on Reddit not that long ago and told the story behind this photo. That was why he looked like that, he ate the sand.

That would get you to the highest status possible. Its like, the people who own the stick shift Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni. 2WD, Gated Shift, V10, Stripe. Man is that car something special.
![]() 07/28/2014 at 23:21 |

I've seen that car with E Gear :(
Why order a Balboni just to get RWD and the stripe?
Get it the way the man wanted it!

Exactly!! BALBONI WANTS YOU TO MANUAL

Practice makes perfect! I match revs with every downshift, braking or not.

Key signatures? Because that could still be a D natural if it's in Eb major or minor or C minor or F# major.

It's true man. Here in Canada a LOT of cars are auto. I picked up some aussie girls and they said "it's cool that you can drive stick, because here it seems noone does" and I was like "yuuuuuuup".
I can't go back to an auto, unless I get a straight pimpin land yatch.
