Or some clueless valet

He's wondering if it's a good idea to sit down on the gear lever

>work at garage
>claimed I could drive stick
>been working there a few months now
>still haven't seen a stick
>of course, bound to happen
>i get ordered to change tires on a Geo Metro
>i go out there
>oh shit, moment of truth
>it's a fucking stick shift
>give myself a pep talk
>i can do this, i can do this
>put it in first gear
>have the clutch in, e-brake off
I had an idea of how to do it, just never had the chance to actually do it
>start to let the clutch pedal out SLOWLY
>nothing is happening
>nothing is happening
>start to give it gas
>nothing is happening
>uhhhh
>eventually just take foot off the clutch
>BUCK, STALL, BUCK
>do this about 2-3 more times while trying to figure it out
>eventually the other tech comes out to the parking lot to see what is going on
>give him the skinny
>he rides shotgun and teaches me how to get it rolling

I ended up buying a stick shift truck to beat up not even a few months later.

It's a police bait car, and the camera's there for recording evidence. Occasionally they'll use a manual bait car just for keks.

I know most Americans supposedly don't know how to drive manual, but never having seen one does not sound believable.

This is the only part of being a cop I would genuinely enjoy.

I would insist they buy a manual base bait car to save money

If they dont drive off they didnt steal the car. The most you could get them for would be what, tresspassing?

attempted theft, attempted vehicular theft, trespassing at a minimum

Shift they could probably charge them with theft if they had possession of the keys, whether the vehicle had moved or not.

I've brought co workers home multiple times and I've had two "Wait is this stick?" and "What are you doing?" comments
like 10 minutes into the drive

#1 anti-theft device in America

I've never driven a manual before, but I can't possibly understand how it could be anything different from a QTE in a video game.
>reach max speed/rpm
>press pedal and move stick into next gear

I honestly haven't a clue how this would trip anyone up

>>16993077
"what type of transmission does your car have"
either
>I dont know
or
>I think it's a 6 cylinder
