  Manual Transmission Gearshift Manual Shift Food for Thought In today's day in age,  manual transmissions  seem to be a dying breed, so to speak. I admit that automatic transmissions have a certain appeal to them since they are so easy to use. However, they do tend to have more problems when it comes to the mechanics of how they work. Still, the sheer ease of their usage tips the scales in favor of the majority of most people. Interestingly, since it is rare to see a manual transmission anymore, some side effects have arisen.  The first side effect that comes to my mind is that it's not easy to find someone below the age of 30 that knows how to drive one. For quite some time, I drove a late 90s model Ford Explorer that had a stick shift and it seemed to be one of a kind. Everyone who sat in the SUV with me noticed right off the bat that it's different, and they commented about how weird it is to see a stick shift in that particular model.

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

  Accommodating a Growing Family Let’s face it, growing a family is not always easy and sometimes not planned. There are times when we think we are done having children and then there are times you get an unexpected surprise. Although this news may come as a shock, it is definitely a blessing. Planned or not, a problem you may face is not having a vehicle large enough to accommodate your new addition. If you have a vehicle that only seats 5 people and you already have three children then it’s likely you do not have room for another one. There are other circumstances, other than pregnancy, that will unexpectedly cause your family to grow. But either way, you could find yourself needing a larger vehicle. Owning a larger vehicle can offer your family space and room for their belongings. Consider Getting an SUV Whether you are traveling for a vacation or need to load up for day to day errands, a larger vehicle will benefit everyone. There is no fun in traveling while being crammed in a...

  Buying a Truck That Fits Your Needs Vehicles are sometimes like toys for adults. We spend months researching and looking for the perfect vehicle that not only fits all of our physical needs but also is visually appealing. We want to absolutely love the vehicle that we are driving. There are so many accessories out there to individualize any vehicle also helps to dictate our choice. Pickup trucks are one of the easiest and most pleasurable vehicles to customize. You can start simply with new rims and wide tires, or an upgraded lift kit. Though these are not just cosmetic upgrades, they are actually practical upgrades as well. If you like to do a lot of off-roading, then a lift kit may actually be a necessity. Regardless of the upgrades that you give to your pickup truck, you need to start with a "canvas" that you really like. How to Choose Your Canvas Do your research to see which pickup truck fits you best. Not only should it meet your taste, but your budget as well. There ...
