What's up everybody!
Hello everyone,
I was googling some manual-driving tips and I stumbled across this forum. I found some great answers from a lot of people who sound like they know what they're talking about, so I decided to join up!
I'm 17 and I recently got my first car: 5 speed '93 Mazda 626. It's a fantastic machine and a perfect for a new driver like myself. Only a few scratches and dings on her and I'm proud to say none of them are from me. I have only driven stick for about 6 months so I've gotten the hang of it pretty well, but I'm no pro.
Well, just wanted to say "hey" and thank everyone for their support!

Re: What's up everybody!
I'll see your The Who and raise you some Twisted Sister.
We are gonna shift it
Yes, we are gonna shift it
We are gonna shift it for ourselves
We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our drive, we don't clutch wrong
We'll shift a thousand upshifts
Don't pick our ratio 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
We are gonna shift it
Yes, we are gonna shift it
We are gonna shift it for ourselves
Autos are awfully boring
Torque converters, go-pedals flooring
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your drive is trite and jaded
Boring, uncomplicated
If that's your best, your best won't do
Whoa...
Whoa...
We're right/yeah
We're free/yeah
We'll shift/yeah
You'll see/yeah
Oh We are gonna shift it
Yes, we are gonna shift it
Oh We are gonna shift it for ourselves
Just you try and stop us
We are gonna shift it
Come on
Yes, we are gonna shift it
You're all worthless and weak
We are gonna shift it for ourselves
Now drop a gear and go
We are gonna shift it
A Pledge pin
Yes, we are gonna shift it
On your uniform
We are gonna shift it for ourselves
We are gonna shift it

Re: What's up everybody!
We both took existing songs and modified the lyrics, like a Weird Al Yankovic parody except with transmissions.

Speak for yourself, HC. I called up my good buddy Rodger Daltrey and he whipped up a mod on his original lyrics for me.theholycow wrote:We both took existing songs and modified the lyrics, like a Weird Al Yankovic parody except with transmissions.

Sure is. Rush hour is a parking lot. Of course, it's worse in a stick shift

Welcome to SS, I am the resident Porkchop.
Bemvindo a SS, eu sou o residente Porkchop.
Cue wegnome music
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
entering the Gnome Valley Kingdom
with tangerine trees, and marmalade porkchops.
Someone calls you, you answer with haste,
a man with a clutch in his hand.
Celefane shift boots of yellow and green, towering over your head.
Look for the man with the clutch in his hand and hes gone.
Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Follow him down to the thread by a fountain.
Where a bunch of men talk about marshmellow pie.
Everyone smiles a you drift around the corner.
Then they all get high.
Clutch holding men appear on the shore, waiting to take you away.
Noob in the land of Gnomes. Noob in the land of Gnomes. Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Picture yourself in a forum of transmissions.
With plastercine cars, and lookingglass Gnomes.
Look to the left and who do you see?
The man with a clutch in his hand.
Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Noob in the land of Gnomes.
Noob in the land of Gnomes
