For those who drive a manual car will know everything to love about their car and every little thing they hate as well. We all have this relationship with our stick shift at one point or another.


1. We are known as the cool kid of the group.

Everyone who gets in your car has the same reaction "Like, OMG you drive a stick? You soooooo have to teach me."

2. Teach me oh great one

People are forever asking you how did you learn. How do you drive it and treat you like some Kung Fu master.

3. You are a magnet, everyone is in love with you

Guys or girls, they are so attracted to you know since you look so badass pushing in one extra peddle and moving a stick around to make a car go faster.....

4. You are a drag racing King/Queen

5. You are a master of your car

You have every bit of control over your car. You tell it when to shift and you tell it when to break.

And hear are reasons why we want to let our cars magically roll down a hill and die in a firey explosion

6. Hills are your nightmare

When you have to come to a stop on an incline and you just sit there hoping that you can floor it hard enough.

7. Traffic makes you want to rip out your shifter

Stop and go. Constant shifting 1st to 2nd to 1st to 2nd. It drives you insane.

8. Tailgaters are the enemy

You have to love someone who sit literally 1 inch away from touch your car and just cross your fingers you don't roll back just enough to hit them while waiting to go.

9. Changing anything in your car is a nightmare

Its a disaster trying to change the AC or the radio while having to shift every 10 seconds it seems.

10. When your passenger attempts to shift for you

We all have that one friend who just wants to do the shifting and leaves you for the hard work of the clutch. Its a delicate process that they never seem to understand.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
