Stick shift 1, Carjackers 0

Ha! That's great!

I've been trying to convince The Girl™ to learn a manual transmission. So far the most persuasive argument has been "If you get caught in a Zombie Apocalypse, and need to get away fast, you don't want the last words you say to be 'Oh Crap! It's a stick!'"

 

It's always that darn Zombie Apocalypse.

 

Yea but if the battery's dead, as most likely to be the case in a Zombie Apocalypse, at least you could push start the stick shift vehicle!

 

This thread is awesome!

 

Lazy thieves...what is the world coming to when people who are gonna steal cars are now not able to drive them???
They will be the first to go in the Zombie Apocolypse for sure!

 

I have no shift pattern on my manual, which should slow them down even if they can shift gears. Then again, there is the funny key thing. :lol:

Another good point, but that always worries me when my car goes somewhere that's not a MINI dealership :eek6:

 

Good point, but mine never has, as of yet. I guess I would have to draw it out for them.
