Just about every time someone checks out my car they comment on the manual transmission, and in good way. Especially the younger guys. It’s like they’re seeing a unicorn.

Here are few pics I took today. I made a point to stop at some of the scenic over looks. I usually don’t stop, because I see it all the time. Blackwater state park. US 48 where it drops off the mountain at Mt. Storm. German Valley on US33 between Judy Gap and Franklin.

Every car meet and show I’ve been to, I’ve never heard anyone looking into a car say “wow, that car is an automatic”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if big gov bans manuals in the near future because of fuel economy. The way I drive, I’m lucky to get 10mpg because I don’t give a crap about fuel economy.

Right handed, but left eye dominate. Sucks when shooting. Especially rifles and shotguns.

Sport. Every time, all the time. If I’m on a long road trip, all highway, I sometimes put it in normal just soften the shocks. I still put the exhaust in sport.

Usually when a millennial or younger person walks up to check out my car, I get the “it’s a manual too” out of them.

Learned something new today. Mind is blown.

I’ve noticed that the cold start bark isn’t as loud if I drove it the previous day. After a week of sitting in the garage, it definitely has a louder bark on start up. Should be even louder once I replace the factory x pipe and resonators.

I’ll play.

If it’s an option, it’s definitely worth getting. I have mine set at 8000, and it’s nice not having to look down at the tach. I use mine in the mode were the lights come together in the middle and the line blinks at the set shift point, so I have plenty of warning before I reach the shift point.

I got around 7400 miles out of mine. No burn outs or tracking. The fronts were worse than the backs. Best thing I ever did to my car was switch to a set of super sports. Smoother and quieter ride. No tram lining.

Never noticed them on mine. I’ll check when I get home, but looking at some pics of my car, I don’t see any. Nice color combo 😉

Get off the highways in WV and just about all the roads are fun to drive. But the best and most scenic ones are in the eastern part of the state. The counties near or bordering VA.

A huge cookout with family and friends. There will be over 100 people, tons of food and drinks. We’ll have a corn hole tournament with a few hundred dollars on the line, and fireworks.

Manual. After cost, it’s the biggest reason I have a GT350 and not a GT500. All that power is no fun without a third pedal.

B&O sucks. The base model stereo in my 17 F150 work truck sounds as good if not better. It’s even worse when compared to the Alpine in my 16 Ram. However, I don’t plan on any upgrades. I usually have it turned down so I can listen to that beautiful sound coming from the voodoo.

So many of these crashes could be avoided by simply knowing when to lift the right foot.

My biggest complaint with all modern vehicles are the nannies. I have nearly 30 years of driving experience. Most of which was on vehicles with few if any nannies. I don’t need that crap. Especially traction control.

It would nice if they did it like Corvette, but only if it were free. I’m not gonna pay for it.
