Every week comes with a fresh crop of idiots. This week they come from St. Petersburg, Florida. It seems two men tried to carjack a vehicle, only to give up when they realized it was a stick shift.

It happened when a man and his girlfriend left work last week. They were told by two assailants to get out of their car or they’d shoot, so naturally the couple left the vehicle.

When they got behind the wheel, however, they didn’t get too far. Apparently neither of them can drive a stick. Instead they ran of foot, fleeing the scene.

Stories like this make me happy that I, too, drive a stick shift.

How about you? Can you drive a manual transmission?
