Cars

The other night I ended up talking cars with a couple of Italian guys and I was pretty surprised by some of the things that I got from the conversation. The first thing was that I was trying to tell them what I drove (Firedbird Formula 350) and they had never even heard of a Firebird let alone Pontiac. They also kept inquiring me about automatic transmissions also and though I couldn't understand exactly everything they were saying, what I got from it was that they were under the impression that America either didn't have manual transmissions or that they were very rare.
