    stick shift transmissions
    like the ashy-faced barn owl
    an almost dead breed

    majority rules:
    a shiftless society
    hates the third pedal

    car enthusiasts
    not enthused by driving car?
    might spill the latte

    stop and go traffic
    the pedal is much too hard!
    my tattoos are fierce

    things are much better
    when the car makes decisions
    I still have to steer?

    meanwhile, the holdouts
    crusty like dinosaur bones
    reject the slush box

    the donor car search
    C4! C6! AOD!
    doomed to frustration

    a rare deranged mind
    might still insist on a clutch
    pity the poor fool

    throttling on hard
    planetary gears spinning
    a tragic slip? yes.

    Rebuild time is now
