Watch Alleged Carjackers Realize They Can’t Drive Stick
Lee Moran
Two teenagers who allegedly tried to steal a car at a gas station in Germantown, Maryland, on Saturday were forced to flee on foot because they couldn’t drive a stick shift.Surveillance footage shows the teens, aged 16 and 17, yanking the driver from vehicle, then entering the front seats. As they puzzle over the controls, the car remains motionless for about 20 seconds. Then they get out and run off.
“Unable to drive a manual transmission, the juveniles exited the vehicle and left the scene on foot,” Montgomery County police said in a statement.

Best part? The bail the two rocket surgeons were awarded for their trouble.

TNTBTAGF Updated! So impressed I nearly overlooked the victim/suspect transposition. You’ve outdone yourself today, Gun Bunny. Thanks.
Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.

Don’t bring a pogo stick to a gun fight?? Sheesh you just can’t seem to bring anything to a gun fight any more…
You can bring whatever you want, but guns are highly recommended.
Ahhhh, the hooman spirit. Ever playful, ever inventive , ever stoopid. But a pogo stick? Really?
‘Bout time to add another 3″ three ring loose leaf binder to the ever growing encyclopedia of T2NBTAGF. How many are we up to now?
The coffee table album idea has been scrapped due to the overwhelming number of new, creatives entries.
No 8×10 glossy photos for the blind justice review?
I got the sadz. 😒
What is old is new again.
Who knew that an old school manual transmission is an effective car anti theft device?
You mean it didn’t have a label?
Had a 70’s CJ5 with if I remember, 4 on the floor. We had 3 axle trucks at brinks with 15 speeds . Low range for driving up the Catskill mountains on a Fed run. I drove one of them in Manhatten and New Jersey. Got the rpms high enough and I was able to speed shift from low right into the next set of 5 gears. Had the axle split shift button on the right to pull up.
Forgot to add that if you get the RPM’s just right, you could go into the next gear/speed without using the clutch.
You’re presuming that those yutes knew how to read/had reading comprehension skills.
For anyone reading the article – several factual errors in it. Despite the author’s errors, that slab-side Buckmark will shoot with most any standard .22 you will see, if not outshoot.
Looks a little like my High Standard Victor .22.
I’m sure the first question they asked was; “why this car gots two break pedals?”
From a link on that Yahoo article:
And:
I had to correct the original headline: one does not “fire” an arrow unless they are shooting fire-arrows. You loose, shoot, or release arrows.
ROFLOL!!
To loosely quote Josey Wales, “Even ‘gators gotta eat”.
ANd that’s a nice thing about arrows, they’re like some people’s gas farts, SBD (Silent But Deadly)
“Stick around”
THWOCK!
And the poor family of that dead crook was SOL, because Florida law specifically states that you can’t sue a dead alligator.
WOW, some Whale of a story
