{"text":"I asked him have you ever drove with your right heal on the break your right toes on the throttle ...your left leg on the clutch and using it to hold the steering wheel....your left elbow turning the blinker on and off ....reaching your left hand through the steering wheel to shift the main transmission ...your right hand shifting the browny .... all while changing the a.m. radio station. That was normal Trucking coming up to a stop sign making a turn on a small incline ....That was Trucking back in the 70s back when you wouldn’t even think of wearing flip-flops, back when you really had to be talented to drive a truck.... By the way I don’t like automatics either.\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"If he knows how to use manual it's good in case he got a truck with manual. Wearing flipflops and driving automatic Volvo doesn't make you bad driver as long nose Pete doesn't make you professional. Doing your job properly and helping fellow drivers does! Mind your own businesses and help each other! Peace...","replyToPid":0}

And I love automatic transmissions. I’ve shifted enough gears ⚙️ and been in slow traffic. I pass you mother trucking gear jammers and keep up with you cattle haulers. I will keep my auto and you can guzzle that diesel with you 16 speed shifting arse. Any thing below 16 don’t bïtch about automatics. You dipchits don’t even shift out. You been skipping gears like a loose bítch.
