what is wrong with this picture...........

ok, so i drove the truck to work today, while my eldest used my van to move his stuff from the uk apartment to the off-campus one......why didn't he use the truck?.........because we have never taught he nor his brother to drive a stick-shift vehicle.......to be fair, neither have asked to learn to drive a stick....driving a stick is not my favorite pasttime........and though i drove to work and back againeasily enough, i did not park the thing in the driveway the same way that i found it.......ecw likes to BACK it down the hill and into it's special spot......gentle readers, the mm does not voluntarily BACK a stick shift vehicle anywhere with success..............those who were with me when i tried to park the stickshift rental car by backing into a downhill spot will remember the awful sound as the side scraped the wall.........ouch.........better just pull the truck into the driveway as best i can rather than risk taking out the fence.............
