D) Kirk's driving wasn't bad except for one little problem.
Kirk "rode the clutch". Once the car was running, he was supposed to
release the clutch, but he held the pedal down like the gas pedal.
The result is that the car "lurched" and "backfired."
In other words, it kept stopping and making a bang-noise.
His steering wasn't bad.
(Modern cars don't HAVE a "clutch" and avoid this problem.)

Umm...I know I'm nitpicking, and this is totally off-topic, but I had to correct this. There are still modern cars with Clutch Pedals, It's just that 'Automatic' Transmissions don't need one(Although most Automatic Transmissions still have Clutches in them). It is still possible to get a Manual(Or Standard, or 'stick') Transmission in a modern Vehicle, as Racing Enthusiests would Lose it if they all of a sudden were forced to race something that they had no control over the Shifts. Main reason I'm correcting, as you can probably see wink

Anyway, I'm just nitpicking, I had to correct, sorry again. sweatdrop

I hate sticks. I would be able to test for my license in a month if I had an automatic to drive, but I have to learn stick.

My parents forced me to learn on a Stick. Funny thing is, the Drivers-Ed car was an automatic. And I haven't driven a Stick since I sold my Mustang(I miss that beast... crying )

I hate stick-shifts...I prefer automatic, even though I don't get the same gas mileage (or so I'm told) as on a stick-shift

If the Automatic is in Good condition, it typically gets better milage than a stick-shift, some of the Computer Controlled Transmissions have insane milage, they have a new one out that has over 50 different Gears, you stay in low RPM the entire time, it rocks.

Hey,
is trivia fans are nothing if not fond for trivial information.

I'll remember that for next time.

BTW, the Marketplace is closed to cut down on trades by the people
who earned illegal gold using the Fishing glitch.
They're busy banning them in all their screennames, so this will take
a bit.
Meantime, they want to minimize the damage. As Lanzer put it,
the sudden gold influx would have crashed the Gaia economy.
(All YOUR gold would be WORTHLESS.)

Stupid online grocery delivery. They ran out of turkeys and didn't deliver one yesterday. Now we've gotta scramble to get one... sweatdrop

We had both. But I like roast beef better. *steals the roast* MINE! *runs away laughing like a lunatic*

Sorry, I'm feeling random today.

I...hate turkey sweatdrop

IU definately prefer roast beef, especially when it's all juicy and BBQ cooked, then it is just ces't delisciouex! whee

But we had turkey. I used to not mind it, it was just another meat I didn't like, that I could just not eat if I didn't want to. But, being the chef I am, I am the one who has to carve it. I hate carving Birds, especially since you can see where all teh Heart connections still are when you carve it open. bleach xp

Plus, my sister starting bitching at me when I didn't get turkey, all I said is that I didn't like it, and she went off complaining about how she feels sorry for anyone that marries me, and depressed they will be with having to deal with me their entire life. And she's so much better off, being a preggo 20-something High school drop-out Video retail clerk stressed
