Hi there!

Post by BIgBoss »

My Name is BIgBoss, I am a new driver and I have learned to drive stick. I prefer it over an automatic. I own a 2000 Hyundai Elantra GLS, and Im excited to get it out on the road! :o Its soo cool to find a forum dedicated to manual transmissions, because not alot of my friends know how to drive a stick, its a dying art that I think should be kept alive!

He thinks taking a number and waiting in line at the deli makes him a communist. Josef Stalin was a communist and you, sir, are no Josef Stalin!

Welcome, brother! Enjoy your stay.

I also must agree with you, standardshifting is an art and should be kept alive at all costs.
