@alexxistexxxas It was 2 vehicles for me, the first attempt was a 1969 MGB, picky clutch and hard for very short me to reach. I so wanted to learn to drive my Dad’s classic cars. But it was a 1980s Chevy S10 pickup with a column standard H that truly made it second nature.

Protester: Apologize to my kids for ruining their futures.
Senator Cassidy: Guess what kids! Your parents are using you as tools!
LOL. I love that the GOP is finally standing up for itself.
Last night at the Trump rally in PA, a liberal protester touched me against my consent and said he'd throw me on the ground and rape me. Feminists around him, who say we're supposed to believe women, defended him and denied it happened. This is what the left has come to. #MeToo
