Or drive a 901 equipped 911 (pre-1972)

First is down and to the left - 2nd thru 5 is a H pattern. Clutch [pause] shift out [pause] shift in... No gate, no spring hock out - easy to go 2nd to 1st or 4th to first.

Takes some skill to do fast.

I want to be lazy sometimes.
Skip gears?

Also, drive a manual car for a month in stop and go traffic. Without the clutch pedal

Did that once. Slave cyl went out, followed closely by the master cyl. FUUUUUUUCK

My 931 had that; it was super confusing.

I did something like that in an old 70 Buick Skylark I had;
Was backing out of a driveway quickly and just flipped into drive and mashed the gas peddle.
The car didn't stall though, it didn't move either.
I sat there roasting the rear tires for about 20 secs till they finally caught.

I double clutch downshift faster than some of you guys do while abusing the synchros.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
