[QUOTE="cal7.62x39, post: 3544463, member: 6824"] Ok awesome story. In high school I landed a job at a place called RUI. It was a train unloading company on 55th between mingo and garnett. The only cargo we handled were new GM, ford and chrysler products from the factory. My boss one day shortly after starting asked if I knew how to drive a manuel, when I said no the next vehicle he unloaded was a brand new F-350 diesel dually king ranch crew cab. The highest tier F-350 they had that year and a price tag that rival the cost of my house. He got out and said "this is the clutch, this is the gas, and this is the brake. Clutch in put her in first and clutch slowly out. It will have enough torque to move itself so don't touch the gas. DONT WRECK IT. And walked away. The very next car was a ford escort ZX2 which was the exact opposite feel as the king ranch and I stalled it several times porting it to it's parking spot. By the time I left I was tearing up all kinds of manual cars. Camaro SS, transam WS6, svt cobras and lightning, mach1, bullit, and right as we were closing down and moving operation to OKC we got a shipment of Ram SRT10s. Ohh I miss that job.
