Wow, just wow.
I learned to drive a stick in a friends old rambler that had no shifter, just piano wires hooked up to T handles and you had to pull the right one to put it in that gear.

Todays rigs are far to easy to get from A to B in. No real effort required so time on the phone is a must.

Who even has a manual transmission vehicle to drive today? A few here have sports cars or an old truck or Jeep but almost everything is automatic…How the hell do you get to be 50 years old and not know how to drive a stick?

I just had a conversation with my son who isn't at all into cars, about how complex these newer cars are with their computer technology. His mind was blown by my claim that these cars are more complex than the space shuttle was...and those of us who have to work on them have to continually figure it outYou had to actually "DRIVE" the cars of our youth not just aim them.

I have seen the apolo rocket on display at the cape. The Saturn lift vehicle is amazing and by today’s standards it’s a rotors dial phone. The capsule is spartan and very small. A flying phone booth.I just had a conversation with my son who isn't at all into cars, about how complex these newer cars are with their computer technology.

Looking up at the F1 1st stage main engines is simply breathtaking. Especially if you are old enough to have watched the liftoff footage and recognize that out of those nozzles came 1.5 MILLION pounds of thrust each!The Saturn lift vehicle is amazing
I was in awe. Yes, I am old enough and had to go out to the cape to see it. The shuttle is by no means comparable. It has its own awesomeness for sure, but the Saturn 5 is still king in my mind.Looking up at the F1 1st stage main engines is simply breathtaking.
