A very fun way to drive any car. It requires a bit of skill to drive as it requires you to shift from gear to gear and use a clutch pedal at the same time. It allows the driver to be in full control of the car and become more focused on your driving and the terrain, which is appealing to car enthusiasts. Learning how to drive stick takes practice, and you may stall the engine a few times at first. After a while, it becomes an extension of you hand to the point where you are automatically shifting gears without much thought.
A manual transmission will also give you better gas mileage compared to an automatic, assuming you drive diligently and not mash your right foot to the floor all the time. Shifting through the gears when accelerating from a stop can give you a rush of adrenaline and it is up to you to dictate whether to drive for economy or performance.
A manual transmission is also more durable than an automatic since the only thing that really wears out is the clutch, which isn't very expensive to fix. When an automatic breaks down, it can cost thousands to repair. That's why a lot of commercial trucks have manual transmissions.
Sadly, the manual transmission is getting more scarce in modern cars, most not even offering a manual transmission at all. It is a chore in heavy traffic as you have to shift constantly. That being said, driving stick isn't for everyone. It is still a good skill to learn and it can be very enjoyable to drive a car with a manual transmission.

"I used to have a 1994 Toyota Pickup with a 5-speed manual transmission and it was pretty fun to drive. It was just me, the car, and the road, with no electronic garbage in between us."

Get the Manual Transmission mug.A video game designed for the Nintendo GameCube. Its story is based off of the popular GameBoy Advance series, "Megaman Battle Network" aka "RockMan.exe". In this game you play as both Lan, an elementary school student who controls Megaman, his 'net navi' and MegaMan himself. I prefer the Battle Network series.

Get the Megaman Network Transmission mug.A Mega Man game based off the GBA-Hit series, MegaMan Battle Network. The is a platformer, which brings back the meaning to Megaman games. The game itself, is different from the RPG game, it is a side-scrolling game that you blow stuff up with a buster, and a weapon of some sort (In this case, the Chips instead of weapons from bosses). Each chip has it's own maximun amount to hold, chip damage, element, Chip Gauge usage, and memory. People use those to their advantages to defeat the evil people(Don't ask me, I haven't played in months.)
This game takes play after the first game.

Get the Pretendual Transmission mug.Though it helps to be high sometimes even sober people can come across Satan pirating the broadcast spectrum (he is the prince of air after all) and flooding poor unsuspecting mortals with dastardly sounds and images resulting in a memorable mind fuck.
Dude, one time I was totally fried out of my gourd, and after walking through a hellbroth of sonar beeping bats, my pals and I finally reached an indoor place of rest. How wrong we were. As soon as we turned on the old television, the Satan Transmission began. The screen went all green and striped, but what we could make out scared the shit out of us. It was some mockery of a religious program, but it had the triple 6 down at the bottom of the screen, and the preacher man had extra eyes in his forehead. Freaked me the fuck out.

Get the Satan Transmission mug.LSD is short for "Limited Slip Differential", LSD is found in the transmission of a car and causes equal power to be distributed to the wheels in a car. Not all cars come with LSD tranny's.
for Example
in some car's such as USDM honda's, there is no LSD (transmission) and if you are to burnout you may sometimes only spin 1 wheel due to the fact that equal power is not being given to each wheel.

Trivia:
This is the first lostprophets album to include the lyrics to album's songs in the album's packaging. thefakesoundofprogress did not include the lyrics, whilst Start Something specifically states that the lyrics could be found on the band's official website, although they no longer can be.
It is also the first lostprophets album recorded without original drummer Mike Chiplin. Josh Freese drummed at the request of Bob Rock, but the band's first choice was Travis Barker.
Both of the other lostprophets albums featured interludes between some songs; no songs on Liberation Transmission are linked together, or feature interludes.
The first line in the chorus of "Can't Stop, Gotta Date with Hate" was taken from a line in the film The Goonies.
The Latin phrase on the album cover, "nobis pro lemma vobis", translates roughly as "for us, for them, for you". This lyric comes from the song Burn Burn, which can be found on the band's previous album Start Something.
