Just going to leave this quote, completely out of context. :) 18:42 of the video: "You know what would fix that is a manual transmission."

Perhaps it depends on the person, but I wouldn't hesitate to teach someone close to me. I've had great success teaching friends and family by covering some basics first. Show the student that if things go wrong (and they will at some point), they just need to press the clutch firmly and...

You can't leave us hanging like that. What bike did you get?? Take some classes, once you get the hang of it. Lots of options out there. Keith Code is a one that I've done. You'll learn a lot about riding (and driving).

You can't post about a motor failure without noting who built it! You know, the name right on it. Yes, we're aware it's almost certainly not that person's fault, but we need *something* to speculate about!

Or be in a place where theft isn't an issue. I grew up in a very small town, and I get laughed at when I go back and I lock my car. No need to lock your car (or your house, if you were to leave for a week) there. We lived in the country and sometimes we'd go to town for shopping or whatever...

Not my car, but spotted at the Alanis Morissette concert this past Saturday night in Alpharetta, Georgia. Anyone on the list? 5BW, Black Raven, blue calipers, A10. Whoever it is, lots of respect to you. I'd be hesitant to take my 5BW to a concert like this. Lots of dust, little ability to...

It's very complicated: You press the Unlock button, and the car unlocks. :) Seriously, once you disable the fob the way I described, you're only disabling the remote sensing/broadcasting capability of the fob. The key fob still works like a normal remote fob, in which you have to manually...

If that's the case then I give up. But that's not my understanding (I could very well be wrong).

Yes, and? Similarly, a Faraday pouch only "disables" the key that's in it. I'm not following your comment. What other key fob would you want to disable?

With regard to traveling... Toyota does something that I wish other manufacturers would do. They have a simple button press sequence (press and hold Lock, then press Unlock twice while Lock still held, look for fob to flash four times) that disables the key, no need for Faraday pouch. Wish...

Of course. Is this not standard procedure nowadays?

It's an indication of *past* designs, apparently. From the article: When you look at the front corners, you see the '22-24 5BW. The '25 design has already moved away from this. Look at the split in the vertical light bar. Also, I second the comment that it needs a MT. Not matter how nice...

It was HOT these past few days in the Atlanta area. Mid 90s at least and humid yesterday. This is me after circling the lot, trying to find *any* shade possible, as well as finding a spot away from other cars.

"Alternative" doesn't seem like quite the right word to me. "Complement" seems so much better. Enjoy each type of vehicle for what it is. I love manual transmission vehicles and love different types of vehicles. Hence the 5BW, GR Corolla, GR 86 (my daughter's car), Bronco, various...

In this situation I'd back in. You get close, show some solidarity with another BW, keep a gap to the third spot, and open your driver's side door to the other side.

I came from an '09 335i (2-dr, manual) with all the usual mods, approx. 450 hp. Not directly from the Bimmer to the Blackwing, there was a gap of a year or two. Same feeling, though, not a day goes by that I miss it! It was fun, but forgettable.

I can't be the only one wondering: What's the problem with using both keys? Hang both on the shelf by the door, with different keychains or other identifying means. Isn't that what they're for?? This sounds like a trick question. What am I missing?

I'm sure I've posted these before, but not in this thread. Both in some of the car's natural habitats.

+1 to the Bronco. Go test drive one at least, just for fun. I've owned a 2-dr Bronco, manual transmission, Black Diamond trim level (didn't see any need for Badlands in my case) for a few years now. Love it, Ford got a lot right in the design (we'll see about reliability). Drove it from...

Don't forget the terrible automatic transmission that makes it painful to drive. Unacceptable for someone with your screen name ("savethemanual"). Will probably hold its value well, though, I agree, due to that V8 that they won't keep around for much longer. GR Corolla, something like $40k...
