Knight Rider

Today I helped Courtney move. I'm not the strongest person out there, but I've got two hands, a vehicle and I'm fiercely devoted to my friends, especially ones who need help. So a few of us were helping her make the move this morning.

David, one of the guys helping, rode with me on a few of the trips. He'd not been in my car before so he was asking me questions and whatnot about it. On one of the trips, I asked him if he wanted to drive. Truth be told I like just riding around in my car, especially if people want to drive it. I've got no problem being chauffeured.

As he was driving he turned my automatic car into a manual stickshift. Yep, I typed that right. It's electric, but you can still use the shifter to shift into different gears. No clutch either! Plus I can't burn up the motor because if the RPMs go too high the car automatically shifts into the gear it needs to be. Now, I learned how to drive a stickshift on a backhoe and that was years ago. I'm not driving a backhoe anymore, I'm driving the car that I will one day, far far away from now, own. So I just stick with what I'm comfortable, so it usually stays on automatic. But for those of you who like manuals, and you wanna take a turn in my car, you're welcome to.

I knew the car was smart, I'm just waiting for it to start talking to me...
