He let me try on the Integra. It was a scary experience. I thought I was going to explode the car.
You didn't even make it to 3k RPM
You would had needed to peg it at 9 grand for a good minute to explode that car.
My TSX shifts a lot smoother and the clutch is stock so it's nice and soft.
So you may feel a little more at ease driving that.

i adore standard. i can't stand driving automatic. it's too boring.
so that's why you're so manly... I always wondered.
well, one of us should be manly in this relationship. apparently you've got some slack to pick up on your end if i'm fulfilling the manly requirement.

Ooh BURN!
D'oh.
Sadly, I'm no good with that, either. Nikki doesn't cuss, and that includes her hands.

Good point. It's rather odd. The Brampton city website just provides a very vague descrption of their "FUNtastic" New Year's Eve celebration.
Live entertainment, ice skating and stuff like that. No mention of any specific acts, though..
edit: It says this particular event is free.. But it seems very family oriented. Which means Raine would have to be on his best behaviour

oh i was always thinking it was free. One of those outdoor city events they seem to love here. Just so people know I am most likely not making the trip.
Anyway i guess i am manly as well as my car is a stick. And Nikki no worries i drove to Colorado and I had never driven stick..it was interesting to be sure, mind you once you are going down the highway there is no shifting and when you stop you can always just push the clutch in and brake and then it is pretty much the same as an automatic.
