Autos just smoothly work up through the gears at the right revs and the right torque and up you get to speed nice and comfy. CVT...blah...

    I'd be happy to see how yours goes though mate.
    We have a hire car which is an x trail with CVT, I haven't driven it yet but I'm not looking forward to it lol.

    A little press on the accelerator gets instant response in the Maxima.

    We just need to load a ton of scrap metal in the boot and you can feel as if you're right back in the Patrol.

    living in the bush really sucks sometimes. Another doctor gone. I reckon I'll be seeing my 6th doctor in 4 years, or a different doctor every 3rd visit.

    Sooo... your sayin' the Doctors just don't have the patients to tough it out eh... (sorry, the devil made me do it)
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Trying to use a f#*king iphone has made me very angry, what a piece of shit.
    I broke my Samsung S8 when I fell and crushed it between me and some rocks and work gave me an iphone as a replacement, doesnt do half the things the android phones do. Latest problem is I need to use it as a hotspot and VPN into the work server, iphones no longer support VPN.
    Time to break this phone.

    They do support VPN, they no longer support PPP/PPTP VPN connections. Ring IT and give 'em a blast!
