OK. I gotta ask. I might sound ignorant, but whatever...
What is it with the fascination of taxes in this thread?

Do you refer to the 'tithe' line that some THREAD regulars festoon their posts with? If so, that is an adherence to 'tithing' a certain percentage of one's forum posts to this subforum thread.
In USS America's case, his ramblings on THE THREAD consist of upwards of 70% of his ramblings on this forum. In my case, I deign to offer fellow THREAD members the gift of my wit and charm about 40% of my posts to the forum on the whole.

Do you mean the tithing, Tree?
If so, it's our way of humorously honoring The One True THREAD!!! by pledging to make 10% of our posts in here. [:D]

Judging from the above two posts, one of us likes to hear himself speak a bit more than the other.... [:'(]

Yes. Why say everything that needs to be said on a thread in one post when you can break it into two or more? Learned on bended knee from master SPAMbot T, USS Mike? [:'(]ORIGINAL: USS America

Or one could just be efficient and use the Word to make a point instead.
Oh, don't worry. The "Word" has nothing to do with religion.

Off to have fun driving with the best "Anti-theft device" available in the USA! A six speed manual transmission! [:D]
I just read a report that less than 10% of American citizens can drive one. While that seems a little low to me, I can't deny that the last time I lived in DC , a young local tried to "Jack a Porshe" from the young girl driving. Once he realized that he didn't know how to drive it, he abandoned it (to the young girl with more guts than me, she laughed at him!) The police caught him a couple of blocks later when he jumped on a bus.
I truly find it amazing that so few of my countrymen are not interested in one of the few things that can make driving FUN! [:(][&:][X(]
Drive it here. I don't know how to drive a manual transmission either. honest. [:)]
RE: THE THREAD!!!
It is rather easy to pick up. A lot of fun to drive.

Seattle and San Francisco are two perfect cities for standards. Especially if your starter goes. I had a Cheif who used to tell of being stationed in San Francisco for 3 years and never bothering to fix his starter. Come to think of it , as a college kid in Portland Maine I went nearly six months without one. You just always need to remmeber to park facing down a steep hill! [:D]
Cities can be a bit of a pain with one. Constant non stop shifting and hanging at red-lights. But you'll certainly be skilled after driving in one for a month! [:D]

It's GREAT FUN! [:D] And you'll never feel so much in tune with your car. I really think it makes me a much better driver, and it's great for deep snow (especially in a front wheel drive car). [:)]

Rear wheel is fun on dirt corners
