Lord forbid the I will only drive a manual Jeep and driving a manual is a dark art that only a few selected people can master and there is no way a 9 year old could ever drive a manual transmission as it is reserved for the select few crowd find out that you did that.....

I love quality products.
I just noticed your reply, Never said that I shifted out of first, And stalled it out may times.
But it's the truth!

I would have to agree with you @wibornz ...the Springfield Trophy Match is a real joy to shoot. All I have done to mine is adding a nice pair of G10 grip panels:

Right behind comes my Springfield Champion Operator. This one has a few mods that were performed by Springfield's Custom Shop:

Jeep Wrangler JL Well-made things you get pleasure from using SA1911 13


My audio system, centered around a McIntosh pre-amp/processor and a pair of big monoblock amps, is just amazing to listen to:

There are a few more items I could list but I won't bore you any further. ;)

I have to deal with lots of things that are problematic and I've been involved in a lot of car repair in my father's business. I like things that work and work well and the cars I've owned in the past 10 years have worked pretty well.
When I was biking I had a couple of custom roadbikes that worked well, but I had to put effort into maintaining them. I use computers a lot so I want a computer that works without hassle and is fast. I have a new laptop that works well and a very old desktop that still works well enough.
I've had some good watches but mechanical watches can be problematic over time and I have 2 right now that need repair.
I have a lot of good pocket knives so I enjoy using them, I just don't get to use them a lot.
I like photography and don't have the most recent cameras but mine are recent enough to be easy to use and give good results. A DSLR is probably the most complicated device that I regularly use and I'm impressed that they work as well as they do and all of the various systems work together.
I have a lot of tools and the ones I enjoy using the most are my old SnapOn mechanic tools.

Today I suppose pocket knives, cameras and computers are the devices I get the most joy from using.

My car always made me smile!!Sometimes the car is like a moving house. It gives me a lot of security and allows me to go to many places. I really feel a lot of happiness.Of course I would like to buy a motorcycle if I have the opportunity. The motorcycle sounds cool!!

Buy the dam motorcycle. then take an adventure. I have motorcycled the lower 48 states and seen some beautiful sights. The only reason I don't motorcycle anymore is because I have literally been everywhere that I wanted to go on am motorcycle and now visiting places with the Jeep.

Books published by Everyman Library. They have the perfect balance of binding and page material, and they lie flat on a table regardless of 200 or 1000 pages.

I dont really think that is what he was getting at..... just the fact that it was a stick, and when he drove it..... You are correct their are many who say "its not a real .... unless its a stick though"
hell i did the same thing w my dads ford ranger.... and pretty much everything ive owned since has been a stick, simply because i enjoy driving them. The exception being my Wrangler. But that is a whole other story for another time.

I like a fine cigar, some may say the ones i like are not fine lol. ohwell.
I do like my wrangler and the things that i have been able to do with it and enjoy with my son.
one of my favorites is my 1/2 drive milwaukee impact. just for the simple fact that its rediculously over powered but it was kind of a "my tool is bigger then yours" after my brother bought one of the smaller ones.
My Danner work boots. so comfortable to wear and walk in at work.
my 2 favorites - my Harley it was my dads before he passed, ive improved it over the years. even if it has an issue, i still love it. dont care what anyone else says. whenever i fire it up to go for a ride it always makes me smile.
and of course my favorite whiskey jack daniels single barrel. yes i know their is better, but for me its my favorite.

I love a good cigar, but I only try and smoke them at special places or during special times. Like epic spots or when one of my sons make it back on American soil and we are able to get together.

Otherwise, I would smoke them everyday and then they would no longer be special. I love good bourbon and whiskey too. Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Gentlemen Jack Daniels make that list for me too.

Just bought a pair of Danner boots two days ago. I wore them for work many years. I had been wearing Merrells and Keen hiking boots and they just were not cutting it. I could walk and stand on concrete for multiple 16 hour days and my feet would still feel good at the end of the day. Not so much with the Merells or Keens. So back to Danners. I like Red Wing boots too, but they are a little harder to come by local.
