I got a R sibe bpi w/amputation-=--so I never had a lot of trouble driving--had a couple 5 speed vehicles--ownwed a '68 Falcon with a 3-speed on the column--right now I'm just riding my Suzuki Bandit and don't have a car---But, the only time I had a Suicide knob the thing would spin around and bust my knuckles after making a turn---sort of have a tendency to let inertia straighten the wheel back out--this was a '69 International Pick-up---and the knob would bust the crap outta my knuckles so I got rid of it.

How did you make driving a standard transmission work? Knees on wheel while shifting? And how do you find riding a bike? What's it like having to slam on the brakes and supporting you upper body weight? I like your choice in cars...
