You might be a stick racer if;
 
Your Granny is offened by the term "Granny Shift"

If your left leg and right arm are noticably larger

When you you were a kid your bicycle had 3 pedals

Your 4 year old has to use shifting motion to count to 4

Thought about a career truck driving just so you could shift gears

Your wife says your 6 year old lost a tooth you reply which gear

You use 4 speed for bench pressing

You quit your job because company car was automatic

Refuse to have automatic withdraws on checking account

Hear someone Granny shift and you have to be restrained

You have ever got a christmas card from the Nashes,Liberty's,Long's,or Hemmingson's

Ever launched a footbrake car on top bulb

Your baby gets upper& lower teeth and you try to figure what ratio they have

You never have heard a opponent's car leave the strarting line

That only applies to the "old school" 3000 lb + pressure plates. I have McLeod Soft Loks in both cars, and the gas pedal is harder to push down than the clutch! (Maybe a slight exageration, but not by much.)





You use 4 speed for bench pressing

Yeah, but a Jerico doen`t give you the same "workout" that a all iron Toploader or MoPar A833 did!

Hers a couple more;
you don`t own any pink T shirts.
You also don`t own one of those wierd looking funnels that is really skinny at the bottom,
You can buy a used Jerico, run it for 5 or 10 years, with just a few oil changes, and sell it for what you paid for it.
Did ya ever notice that stick guys tend to smile more?

Some of your most valued possessions are your never worn "Indy Qualifier" T shirts from Liberty.

Here's a couple more:

Everytime you work on a friend's automatic racer, you slow it down.

You drive your wife's automatic car using your left foot for the brake simply because it won't be still.

Converters make no sense; if you need to leave harder, just step it up.

You know the gear ratios of every available Detroit V8 manual transmission built since 1955.
