Well then, how about two equally pretty girls, identical twins for instance. One can drive stick, the other cannot.
I'd take the one that can drive stick :thumbsup:
Well yeah, so that she could drive my car. Not because it makes her hotter.

I remember a Top Gear episode where a girl was doing the review and shifting through the gears on an SLK.

Sexy.

since 99% of the cars over here have sticks and clutch, it doesn't really add up anything, it's just normal.

It does, does it? And which way does it influence you?

Unless you meant DOESN'T, and just forgot the important N'T at the end, like so many idiots do with COULD and COULDN'T.
You see, it totally changes the meaning of the sentence.
And in this case, what you have posted doesn't mean anything at all.
It does influence you either way? What the hell is that meant to mean?

Question: Do you want chips of potatoes.
Answer: Yes.

WTH is the point in saying yes?!

Oh dear of dear that would have been so much better if you hadn't messed it up at the end...

The answer to that question is correct as chips are indeed made of potatoes

However if you had said chips or potatoes then your response would have been justified as it is you just ended up looking like a fool... Everybody makes mistakes get over it.

I went out with this tiny Texan chick who drove a 5 speed mustang once. She was probably a better driver than I was...really agressive. Anyways, it did add to her sex appeal. So did the drinking, smoking, vulgar language and promiscuity. She was a bad influence on me so it didn't last too long, but we had a lot of fun.

I'm a double-clutching fool, but even I don't care if a girl can drive a stick or not. Hell, the last two girls in whom I've been interested haven't even had their licenses. (Yes you bunch of deviated preverts, they have been older than 18.)

Not really. I'm not a big car person, so it's not something I pay too much attention to.

Now if a girl is smarter than me, that is hot. All you "double clutching fools" don't know what you are missing ;)

Any girl who's already relatively hot already, driving stick well makes her all the more desirable. :)

When I was younger I didn't know how. I now only drive a stick. HayZeus 2000 and I have a truck and a car that are both manual and I wouldn't have it any other way.... Especially living a mile up on the side of a mountain.

You just got OWNED by your own arrogance.

To the OP - yes - chicks who can drive a stick shift do look a tad bit more sexy.
