10 Reasons Why I Have A Love/Hate Relationship With My Manual Car
Google

For those who drive a manual car will know everything to love about their car and every little thing they hate as well. We all have this relationship with our stick shift at one point or another.


1. We are known as the cool kid of the group.

Everyone who gets in your car has the same reaction "Like, OMG you drive a stick? You soooooo have to teach me."

2. Teach me oh great one

People are forever asking you how did you learn. How do you drive it and treat you like some Kung Fu master.

3. You are a magnet, everyone is in love with you

Guys or girls, they are so attracted to you know since you look so badass pushing in one extra peddle and moving a stick around to make a car go faster.....

4. You are a drag racing King/Queen

5. You are a master of your car

You have every bit of control over your car. You tell it when to shift and you tell it when to break.

And hear are reasons why we want to let our cars magically roll down a hill and die in a firey explosion

6. Hills are your nightmare

When you have to come to a stop on an incline and you just sit there hoping that you can floor it hard enough.

7. Traffic makes you want to rip out your shifter

Stop and go. Constant shifting 1st to 2nd to 1st to 2nd. It drives you insane.

8. Tailgaters are the enemy

You have to love someone who sit literally 1 inch away from touch your car and just cross your fingers you don't roll back just enough to hit them while waiting to go.

9. Changing anything in your car is a nightmare

Its a disaster trying to change the AC or the radio while having to shift every 10 seconds it seems.

10. When your passenger attempts to shift for you

We all have that one friend who just wants to do the shifting and leaves you for the hard work of the clutch. Its a delicate process that they never seem to understand.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
