Pretty funny. It seems like the surveying was done over in Europe to me though, even though its MiniUSA.
Oh and I can drive stick, it just smells funny after I park

LOL - I can drive stick, and am left-handed!  I have most of the traits described, especially in the "cars" section. Someday I will have a mid-'80s Alfa Romeo droptop, love open-roof cars (wife's Liberty and my G both have sunroofs, and have owned a Sebring 'vert in the past), have changed many a flat tire, had my own car in HS, and LOVE bumper cars. Oh yeah, I HATE bumper stickers too.
Good find!

Driving stick sucks. Everyday I drive the formula I remember this, but if you want to go more than straight and you magically don't hit route 1 traffic in Edison it's not that bad.
My next car will be auto.
