If you're stuck, what if you're stuck in the middle
of nowhere, you're just and the only way out is
to drive it in first, get going exactly the right
amount of gas to get where you're going. Yeah, but
you have to drive it in fifth gear once you've
got started, otherwise it doesn't matter. And you're being chased, Okay,

(02:35):
you're being chased. You've only got a manual for an
escape and the chase, and you can chase you up
to third gear speed.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Then you're going to die, and so you should. Yeah,
you know, yeah, whatever, Only the strong will survive manuals. Yeah.

thought it would be more like eighty percent.

manual cars if it was like a vintage car, if
I could, if it ever lived in my dream of

it and the only option was a manual, you'd just
be like okay, yeah, and then learn to drive in
