My knowledge of stick was theoretical until the day I bought my first jeep. Since then no looking back.
I learned when I learned to drive. We had three cars, my moms, my dads and an extra, a sun runner that was standard. If I didn’t know how to drive a standard, I’d have had to have permission to drive one of my parents car, and I have 4 older siblings, 2 were still at home who also wanted the cars.....I needed an advantage.
 
Who cares about his tiny hands, what the fuck is a pop socket?

great post...

there were two things that always pissed me off about Jesse.

imo, Mike laid it out pretty well, in the best all time scene (imo) of Breaking Bad.



criticism #1) his constant bitching, about everything. I forgot what season it was, but Walt aptly responds to Jesse's complaining about how much money they are making, (paraphrase) ..."relax. you're a millionaire." I don't recall which season it was, it could have been 3 or 4, but Jesse hatches this stupid ass idea of stealing some of the meth he is manufacturing for Gus and having his dip$hit friends sell it, to make more money. I mean, how much money do you think you'll make from this side gig? how much more money do you need? do you think you have effective means of distribution?

and yea, you're absolutely right. Walt upends his life, vouches for Jesse, gets him a job with Gus, and how does Jesse repay him? buy getting into a gun fight with Gus's own employees.

Criticism # 2) Jesse's frequent lectures on morality, and the sanctity of life. Specifically when they pull of that Train heist, and at the very end of that episode Todd kills that kid on the bike. (terrible, I know). and Jesse freaks out, even assaulting Todd. lamenting, about this poor kid...showing an inordinate about of remorse. the whole time I'm thinking, "Dude...you guys are in the meth business. do you not think innocent people are going to end up getting killed do you not see the hypocrisy in your sanctimonious lectures about innocent life?"


Yeah, agree with all of this. And you're talking about season 3. I'm not sure if it amounts to a gripe with the show's writing or a gripe with its reception.

He shot a dude in the fucking face on Walt's orders
"Jesse is good guy, HE DOESN'T WANT CHILDREN TO BE HARMED"
Fuck outta here, he's a douchebag juggalo fuck who has ruined countless lives

Of course you drove a sunrunner. That just makes perfect sense.

Yeah, it was awesome. They don’t make them anymore :( I was so made when my dad sold it and replaced it with a ducking Honda SUV


I mean the roof didn’t even come off the new shit car, and for what? An extra back seat?

Tagging @Social Distance Warrior for this too.

Jesse from the start of the show to the end does change... but his morals don't really change. Even from the start the guy you can tell is doing this cause it's all he knows and the reason he reacts the way he does to Gus's guys killing the kid is because of what happened to Jane and his personal connection to the kid's mother.

I get what Mike is saying and at that point in the show Walt is still too close to his days as a teacher to agree with him. But Walt also, you can tell feels like he owes Jesse a bit for introducing him to "the game" that allows him to strut his stuff.
 
Yeah, Euros love diesel and stick shifts.

Probably because they are poor
Now, I'm not one to say you're not a real man if you can't drive a stick--though others might--but a manual transmission is extremely helpful in difficult driving conditions such as snow and ice. It saved my life once, I think. But I'm definitely not rich so I can't contradict you LOL

I know how to drive a manual.... manual fucking farm tractor not car.
 
Come on Greg, it's not all babies.

I got a Mercedes-Benz GLC300 a week ago, and I had to settle for white. White, Greg. I've driven blacked out and gunmetal joints all my life, I'm fucking my brand up in a white car.

What about me? What about my pain?
Lmao! I may only drive a 4Runner and a Tahoe (take home work vehicle, I don’t own it) but both are murdered out my man. Like all my vehicles ever. Cmon son.

Big mistake admitting this. I won’t forget.

It’s not like it’s hard. You just have to not give up the first time your dad takes you out to practice and he keeps pulling the emergency break to stall the car cause he’s a little drunk and keeps telling you he’s in control of the lesson.
