Zambroski Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Seriously though. That trucking gig has always sounded cool.

I didn't spend a fortune to learn 18,15 and 13 speed just to drive auto. I like the stick, now that I've perfected my shifting ( way different than a syncro mesh) .. floating gears again too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
