My in-laws have lived in North Minneapolis for about sixty years, and even I spent much of my early-twenties there, hanging out with family. While it's true that there is lots of laziness and rampant welfare system abuse, most of the people who live there are very laid back.

So when I see this, it makes me wonder how many professionals George Soros bussed in to start all of these buildings on fire. Mass-arson just isn't a behavior I see very many people in the area indulging in: for starters, it just takes too much effort!

In other news, here is Eric Peters discussing the manual transmission. While he brings up a lot of good points, there are some valid counter-arguments: among them, clutch replace costs vary wildly by car depending on the type of clutch, and how much labor is involved.

Wifey's WRX involves dropping the entire engine, and cost me well over two grand. That included replacing the flywheel, which was torched. It only lasted sixty thousand miles as well, due to how imprecise and "grabby" it is-- even professional car pundits say they can't drive a WRX or STI very smoothly.
