Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

No, no... She's not a good driver in an automatic, but she doesn't watch her feet. Instead, she watches like the radio, the infotainment, the buttons on the steering wheel, etc...

But, she drives slow, which is probably what saves her from bumping into stuff. Like, she'll happily cruise at 35 mph into the village. Parts of the road are 50 mph zones and a few spots are safe for 135!

So, I've got some work ahead of me. She has class tomorrow morning. She'll be driving the Defender she normally drives.

So you're eschewing the manual vehicle for a day to teach her to drive better overall before you add the shifting?

I'm not getting out of bed to drive with her to Farmington and then hanging around all day doing nothing only to wait for her to drive home...

So, she can go back to an automatic 'cause she sure as shit not ready to do it in a manual. There's a lot of downshifting and mountain terrain between here and there.

We'll resume her lessons on Friday afternoon as there's no show for her this weekend.

It does take a bit of getting used to driving a manual. And I can see how a beginner would take their attention off the road
