First I daily drive a manual transmission car, second I think I got some pretty nice style in dressing and lastly I think I should win this prize because I got attacked by a tiger 2 days after friday 2 weeks ago in Arlington. I think driving a manual transmission daily deserves a prize for several reasons. One of which is that not everyone can do it. Not everyone can drive stick so there must be something difficult about it so I think because I know how to do it I should get the prize.
