Re: McCain or Obama

I'm still undecided on the issue. Obama doesn't have the experience, but makes a great figurehead. With the right administration, he could do good things. McCain has the experience, but does suffer slightly from the disconnectedness that Bush has. He would not be the best figurehead, but he can carr...

Hi SykoRedhead - welcome to Standardshift! :mrgreen: You've come to the right place. Prodigal Son just gave you an excellent write-up on the basic mechanics of a clutch, which is absolutely necessary to understand why stalls happen. Jomo mentioned to get off the road and into a parking lot so you ca...

Re: Today is 9/11

I was a junior in high school and Chris Chrissy (yup) came in to homeroom late saying that a plane hit the WTC. Of course, he was a drunk and no one listened to him. An hour later we were watching it on the news.

Must have been intense, NonChalant.

Re: WTF!!! I got a ticket !!!??? For doing a right turn?

You should stop, but if there is no traffic and you have checked. It could almost be treated as a yield. It could , but it isn't . When you break a law, no matter how "meaningless" in your opinion, you have still broken it. As a driver, you are granted the privilege of driving, not the ri...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Hi all - just wanted to report and say I'm alive. Been studying like mad for the GRE test (grad school) and just took it over the weekend. Looks like I did well, so maybe I can actually spend some time moderating y'all now. :)

Since the transmission is exposed, does that mean there is a large opening in the floor? Which means rocks and dust could be kicked up into the car?
Looks like just the housing is exposed - there is a panel covering openings to the road. Gorgeous classic!

Re: Higher speed limits

No inspection in FL either - I have seen cars with cardboard doors, duct-taped mirrors, and no windshield.

Re: Raising the driving age

I have mixed feelings. Kids need to drive so they can work. If I would have had to wait until I was 18 to drive, I would not have been able to work in high school. Working during school helped me immensely, and I saved some money from it. Then again, it seems that our youthful-age is lasting longer ...
