Amazing Race rant. Spoilers - Volnelk Apr 3, 18:00 24
- Do any US companies make stick shift cars anymore? -- nm - tobor.2 Apr 3, 18:09 23
  - Cadillac, Mustangs, Wranglers all available in stick. Countless other cars that people are exposed to. You are going on an international race. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 3, 18:20 22
    - Most Americans aren't exposed to stick, don't learn in school even. - tobor.2 Apr 3, 18:40 9
      - I disagree. Everyone I know, knows how to drive stick. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 3, 18:43 8
        
        Or at the very least, one out of two would know or be able to figure it out. I'll poll my students on Monday to see what younger people know. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 3, 18:44 7
        
        Only around 10 percent of vehicles made in North America now have manual transmissions, down from 35 percent in 1980. And that number is expected to - tobor.2 Apr 3, 18:58 6
        
        The numbers here are a little different.... -- (link) - tobor.2 Apr 3, 19:13
        
        I get it. I don't think everyone HAS one. I just know I had to learn in case of emergency. My point....... - Volnelk Apr 3, 19:13 4
        
        Except you're also arguing that everyone you know knows how to drive stick and at least half of those you don't do. - tobor.2 Apr 3, 19:18 3
        
        Sure. if you didn't care. But if you were going on a race for a million dollars could you find a way to practice? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 3, 19:27 2
        
        Hard pressed means it would be tough to do. -- nm - tobor.2 Apr 3, 19:31 1
        
        Anyway the question in the first post was how do you not know how to drive stick, not why you didn't practice. - tobor.2 Apr 3, 19:35
    - and almost every year they give the racers a stick car -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 3, 18:24 11
      - And almost always their first exposure. -- nm - tobor.2 Apr 3, 18:40 10
        
        I've always felt that, if this were truly the case, then the show wasn't worth watching - because the racers didn't care about racing. - Beryllium Apr 3, 18:46 9
        
        The direct equivalent for Survivor would be ... - Beryllium Apr 3, 18:46 8
        
        Exactly. Maybe it's casting, but if I know I have a chance to win a million dollars but knowing Latin is going to be a factor, I'm learning Latin. - Volnelk Apr 3, 18:53 3
        
        I see a major factor still being the casting dept. they do not understand getting 20 survivalists on who can make fire & build camp without a machete - Peglegpete Apr 3, 18:59 2
        
        Survivor Hardcore would be a thing to behold. - Beryllium Apr 3, 19:01 1
        
        they packed shorts, and it's 40 below in the Yucon -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 3, 19:02
        
        not me. they figured out to do this over a decade after season 1. not in season 2, 3, 4, ...... -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 3, 18:51 3
        
        and this is season 25 -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 3, 18:53 2
        
        I don't really pay attention when I watch. I code, instead. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 3, 18:56 1
        
        most of the time itis not worth watching :( -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 3, 19:21

WWE: AJ has announced her retirement and we wish her the best in her future endeavors. -- nm - Tim Apr 3, 14:39 17
- There is simply too much animosity between Punk and WWE for her to work there. - David Apr 3, 14:48 13
  - I'm surprised Stephanie let her try again this most recent time! -- nm - Qale Apr 3, 14:58 11

        She has the one thing the division painfully lacks: personality. - David Apr 3, 15:33 1
        
        as it stands now you are correct, but changes are coming. and coming quickly if rumors are to be believed -- nm - Remlik Apr 3, 15:36
      - They don't need her. They've got Charolette to start, Sasha Banks if they need to dig deeper. Emma/Bailey can be at least as good as a Bella. - Qale Apr 3, 15:12 5
        
        Like I said... -- nm - David Apr 3, 15:17 4
        
        Maybe I've been ailing too much or something, I thought you were saying WWE needs AJ. Alicia Fox and a Funkadactyl have been better than her. -- nm - Qale Apr 3, 15:24 3
        
        Yes, the one who uses the butt-butt as a finisher is totally the same as AJ. -- nm - David Apr 3, 15:34 2
        
        That's because AJ does not have a butt. I also forgot about Natalya. Though she recently was pinned by a bull, so there's that. -- nm - Qale Apr 3, 15:51 1
        
        The WWE doesn't need The Rock! They've got Batista! -- nm - David Apr 3, 16:05

Remlik, I find the mechanics who work out of a garage at the back of their house to be the best bet. - Loyola Apr 3, 14:02 5
