best... lol Title mistake, pardon. This story is funny.... no carjacking for you.

Carjackers leave man's car behind after discovering it has a man - KMOV.com

Just fun, but a bit off topic I guess? Still.... my wife is learning on a Wrangler, then will figure out my Jag. But it's strictly because of zombies (please realize that is a joke).

But it is funny.... the amount of people who would have been allowed to test drive my car, provided they understood a manual transmission, is staggering. No one has test drove my car. LOL

Unc, you and I both know there are far more compelling reasons.

I heard this story from one of my employees when I worked in Cleveland. The further you parked from the center of town, the cheaper the rate. Two young men showed this man their nice gun, and asked for his keys. They looked at the car, saw it was a manual, and gave him his keys back. Close call.

that headline sucked. pardon.

so my funny joke notion about "manual preventing theft" can also end up just being that villainous scum kill you out of their lack of experience or knowledge. SO... evil? grossly.

Never can tell if he's a great actor, or really just such a creep. Great clip.
