Vindicated!

I finally got around to ordering my next vehicle, but I won't actually take delivery until late November . . . because I insisted on manual transmission (if I'd been willing to take an automatic, I could have had it within a few weeks). Call me an anarcho-anachronist, if you like. Here is another good reason for sticking with manual transmission vehicles:

Carjackers are lame. Carjackers who can't figure out how to drive a manual are even more lame. An employee of a Kansas software company was approached by someone with a shotgun who was looking to borrow the victim's Chevy Camaro. Our would-be carjacker fled the scene after finding that his new ride had a third pedal.
