Because of cheaper gas and long, straight and boring highways, most people in America drive drive automatics and some never even learn how to row gears themselves. It’s the other way around in Europe, where traffic is congested, gas is expensive and most average cars come with stick-shifters.
So, what happens when you try and mix a European car that’s even tricker than most and your average American motorist… say a Hooters Waitress? Chaos of course.
As she’s instructed to push this, press that and lift her foot slowly off the clutch, you can see the Hooters girl becomes totally bewildered. We wouldn’t burn her too hard for this though, as the Lotus Exige S is not your typical car. It’s still funny to watch though!
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
