Cuurently I'm waiting for a tow truck because my clutch died on the way home from work - in the middle of a major intersection no less.
Entertain me while I wait for the truck to arrive.

To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

The clutch is the pedal that you push that allows you to change gears. Also you have to push the clutch to start the car. The problem with mine is that it wont any of the aforementioned tasks.
So I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck to arrive.

I never used a manual car in my life and I never will, ha ha ha ha! Seems like an annoying thing to deal with.

The clutch is the part of the car you can sue for sexual harassment.

Ugh, manual cars are kind of not really useful for around here. But Ive been there done that with waiting for the tow truck. My engine blew in the middle lane of US RT1 and I had to be pushed to the side and had to wait for the tow truck.

Fixed. I think they're more fun to drive, and it's a good life-skill to have. What if you have to rent a car (especially in Europe) and all they have are manuals?

Automatics are easier. I want to have as few distractions as possible while I'm driving.

I have no idea how to even get the car to go on a manual. Can I cab it in your town?

Uh... probably, though you'd have to call. It's not like New York where you can just hail one anywhere.
