Article 7: Stick Shift

A bro never admits he can't drive a stick, even after an accident

Okay, so this one is pretty straightforward. Every bro knows how to drive a stick. And if he doesn't, he still does. I personally DO know to drive a stick, regardless of this rule (however my ability to do so may or may not be good) I know plenty of people who definitely can't drive a stick whether they admit it or not.

Here's a word of advice: If you don't know how to drive a stick, go talk to one of your bros who owns a manual car and beat around the bush about learning how to without actually admitting you can't.

Example Conversation:

You: "Sup broseidon."

Bro:"Whaddup"

You:"How long have you had a manual?"

Bro:"4 years"

You:"Sick! I haven't driven one in soooo long!"

Bro:"Really? Wanna drive it?"

You:"Sure I guess, but just a warning, it HAS been (insert long length of time here), so it might be a bit rusty"

This rule isn't all that important versus a lot of the other rules, but in the long run, it does force a bro to learn how to drive a stick-shift which is a pretty big deal. 

If a bro breaks this rule, the advised punishments are:

• deprivation of permanent shotgun status
• loss of car-borrowing privileges (specifically if the car is a manual)
• designated beer-bringer for the next hangout/get-together/party
