If this is a joke, then it was funnier before recent events.  A real place, in Uvalde TX, the Bottle N Bag, where some years  ago, one could enjoy a particular type of one stop shopping.

Texas, they always threaten to secede from the union. Sadly they never do.

To give them some credit for sincerity they did join the confederate side in the civil war.

If it was this picture that pushed the states to adopt automatic gearboxes only?

Well up until 2009 Europe was almost exclusively manual, now its 50:50, one more go and there won't be a sh#t left.

An entry from the "Truth is Stranger than Fiction" category...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61763333
Car insurer Geico may have to pay $5m after woman contracts STI in a vehicle
A woman may be in for a $5.2m (£4.2m) payout after she allegedly contracted a sexually transmitted infection while having sex in a car.
The US woman, identified in court files as 'MO', said she caught the human papillomavirus (HPV) from having sex with her then-partner in his car.
This week, the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld a judgment that awarded MO a hefty settlement - to be paid by Geico, which insured the vehicle.
Geico is contesting the decision.




A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

I saw that in my newspaper today. How crazy is that? I hope the insurance company can get the verdict overthrown, otherwise where does that kind of logic end up.  :o

Strongly suspect they had a badly drafted insurance contract that offered all sorts of "extra cover" as a sweetener to sell insurance that backfired badly.
