Some of your most valued possessions are your never worn "Indy Qualifier" T shirts from Liberty.

"Did ya ever notice that stick guys tend to smile more?"

That's a fact !!!!

Here's a couple more:

Everytime you work on a friend's automatic racer, you slow it down.

You drive your wife's automatic car using your left foot for the brake simply because it won't be still.

Converters make no sense; if you need to leave harder, just step it up.

You know the gear ratios of every available Detroit V8 manual transmission built since 1955.

Good ones! My first automatic, and it is kinda boring. Just getting too old for the maint.

You make a run, get back to your pit, put the car on four jack stands, and lay under it!

Or in your case Larry, you just lift the car up with one arm and wiggle the trans out with the other. LOL.

Now, most of my shirts have gravel dust ground into the shoulders from lying on them, but I have seen plenty of the auto guys with the car up in the air. Of course those racers have pink stains on the Front of their shirts!
