Things like this don't even surprise me any more.

Manual Transmissions now come with warning/instruction labels.

What is that in? Ford does not put a manual in any of their pickups
Mustang, Feista, or Focus I guess.What is that in? Ford does not put a manual in any of their pickups
Edit: I believe the only trucks you can get with manual transmissions now a days is a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan of some sort.
I don't believe Chevy or Dodge comes with them anymore.
Why I forsee hanging onto my 6speed 06' dakota as long as I can.
Edit 2: Looks like you can get a BARE BONES MODEL Colorado with a manual from chevy, but that is the only model that offers one.
Not as bad as the warning on the battery under the hood. You know, the one that says Do Not Drink! :roll:
The Dodge heavy duty models with diesel and 4wd are available with 6 sp manual.I don't believe Chevy or Dodge comes with them anymore.

My wife loves her 2014 Mazda 6 that has a manual transmission.
The salesman that sold her the vehicle couldn't even drive it.
She and I joke about a manual transmission being a theft deterrent.

Hadn't thought about it that way but given the state of affairs I guess a good old fashioned manual would be a genuine theft deterrent these days. :roll:.My wife loves her 2014 Mazda 6 that has a manual transmission.

Yes, its basically called the "Millennial Anti Theft Device" on the internet.My wife loves her 2014 Mazda 6 that has a manual transmission.

I don't even bother locking my truck.
Never saw that tag in my Focus ST when I bought it.
I may be dating myself, but growing up, we had a 2 dr. '56 Ford Crown Vic Station Wagon with manual H pattern on the column. My dad later had a Ford Galaxy 500 around '66 with manual H pattern on the column. Now, how many can drive one of those without some instruction?

I learned to drive in a '72 chevy truck with a 3 on the tree. Still have it sitting in the backyard too. Its not really running much these days, but still here. It was a fun truck to drive
Talk about a theft deterrent... I had a 2nd Generation RX7, with a lightened flywheel and ceramic puck clutch. Those engines had very little low end, and the clutch did NOT slip. Starting it off smoothly was an art not easily mastered... you had to blip the throttle as you started to release the clutch, then time a smooth application of throttle with the clutch gripping as the rpm was settling back to idle. Otherwise, it was either stall, or launch, or launch then stall...
Hope you plan on fixing it up... that's a keeper!I learned to drive in a '72 chevy truck with a 3 on the tree. Still have it sitting in the backyard too. Its not really running much these days, but still here. It was a fun truck to drive
It's on the list of things to do, it's just such a low priority right now that it really doesn't even register. But I don't plan on getting rid of it though. My dad bought it new in '72, then sold it to my uncle a few years later. I started driving it at 16 in '88. It was in rough shape when I got it as my uncle used it as his work/ farm truck/ daily driver. But between time & money, it just sits out by the shed under the carport for now.
First thing I drove on a regular basis was a 1970 F-100 with the 3 on the tree. Loved that thing.I may be dating myself, but growing up, we had a 2 dr.

First thing I bought for myself was a 72 Pinto with the 4 on the floor (well tunnel hump) that was a dull orange color. My punkin. It was great.

At least it's under cover. Regular leaded gas, I guess.
2/3 of my vehicles in my life have been manual transmissions. I was never a fan of the two slushboxes I briefly owned.
Yep, back when regular meant leaded. It's got a 250 ci straight 6At least it's under cover. Regular leaded gas, I guess.
