I think you're really missing the point.

1.) This post is not about underage drinking. It's about Paul's home-made, hand-controlled 5-speed turbo couple.
2.) I REALLY don't think (and this is my opinion) that the quote in his signature, which is probably from a song or a movie, etc, makes any reference to underage drinking nor does it encourage or condone the act. :rolleyes:

I haven't seen the video (ed dialup) but allow me to congratulate you, Paul. You've done what many so-called "able-bodied" people cannot do. I tried for years to teach my sister to drive a stick.

Maybe when I go to the city tomorrow I'll stop by my sister's house (she has highspeed) and show her the video :D

Wow, very impressive!

*to all other members*
I think he deserves a big round of applause, just NO BEER!!! :hick:

Thundergrowl, I think you should get a paddle shifter system similar to what Ferrari uses in cars like the 360 Modena (with the autmatic engaging clutch and all). That would be very cool and practical at the same time!

You Are A GOD!! You are an amazing person. You can honestly drive a manual better than I can. I thought I was good at it. That is an awesome job you have done. *pat, pat, pat* I cant use the cheers smiley, but that is some kickass work.

I feel like an idiot, The first time I watched the video I thought "wtf? its just someone driving around" and it wasnt till someone mentioned it that I realised It was the handcontrolled car. I saw your legs moving a bit and just thought the obvious :p

Awesome job, What I originally thought was a pointless video is one of the most awesome things i've seen in a car. Thats amazing!

Now for that smoke show

statement was an attempt at humour throught hypocrisy. I neither condone nor discourage underage drinking. It was just something we did. I'm neither ashamed nor proud of the fact.

I included the statement...

Quote from: thundergrowl

:) We had no one to buy us any beer so we decide to hitch-hike to the games arcade about 5 miles away.

because I find it ironic that if we had someone to buy us beer, we wouldn't have been hitch-hiking and my injury would never have happened. I would have just sat in the cabin, drank my poverty pack and walked home safe and sound.

Funny huh?

Maybe the bigger no-no washiznitch-hiking?

EDIT: BTW the line in my signature is from a song by WGB (Wonderful Grand Band) called "Living in a Fog". I just like the line.

Burnouts should be easy. With the handcontrols, I can do a brakestand while popping the clutch.

But first, who's going to donate a set of tires to the cause??? :)
