Some random thought I found on the internet...
What if one day you woke up and your nipples were completely gone like no scars or anything just flat skin and then once you leave your room you find out your dad died last night and several days later you find out that for your entire life he had been sneaking in your room while you slept and sucking on your chest to make two gigantic hickeys where your nipples should be because you were born without them not for any sexual reason just so you would fit in.

"Music sales are not affected by web piracy, study finds

A report published by the European Commission Joint Research Committee claims that music web piracy does not harm legitimate sales."

What I've been saying all along.

:roll: You just need to practice. Seriously. It's not that hard. I had no trouble parallel parking when I took my test.
Try taking a drivers text and parallel parking in a 1978 Lincoln town car. 19 and a half feet long with a 10 and a half feet wheelbase. Once you parallel park a 1978 lincoln towncar, you can parallel park anything. Man i wish i'd kept that car a little longer. The DMV near my house doesn't have their own cars. You have to use your own and it has to pass a safety inspection. Which somehow the lincoln town car did! :lol: Oh the joys of driving a land barge of a vehicle. I loved driving it, until i had to fill it up. 8MPG from the factory. It was already 20 years old when i bought it, so it definitely was getting worse than that.

Woah! :shock:

I can't remember which car I used to take my test. I think it was the VW Dasher but maybe it was the Dodge 600?

I do remember learning to use a stick shift a couple years after getting my license when we bought a Toyota Tercel. Haven't driven a stick in a long time.

I wonder if my kids will ever experience a stick shift since they are uncommon these days.

I learned to drive stick on a three on the tree set up in my father's stripper 1/2 ton chevy work truck. I love cars with sticks. I cringe every time I see a sports or performance car with an automatic. Just no fun at all.

I can't find a single person who owns an automatic who will let me use their car to retake my test. Every single one of them drives stick.

It's friggin' weird.

I used to prefer to drive stick, because it was 'more actiony' and it saved gas milage. (EDIT: saved gas milage? what the hell does that mean?) I guess I mean it was better on gas, lol.

Then I moved into Austin and experienced Austin traffic. The next car I bought (and all subsequent cars will be) was automatic. There's nothing more annoying that using a clutch for 2 hours over and over and over, never getting past 2nd gear.
