That’s the clutch and brake pedals…
USA citizen having no clue about the existence of manual gear-box in vehicles, probably.
They just added the caption. If the creator of this were capable of making the drawing, they would do something more with their life than memes.
You can’t find an image of pushing the brake and throttle at the same time on wikihow.

Huh, I’m a little surprised it doesn’t have articles on left-foot braking for racing or brake torque launches for drag-racing.
I think you drastically underestimate the number of gearheads in the States. Makes sense, given we have incredibly limited public transport. Currently have 3 manuals in my driveway.
Of course, it a joke based on the fact that manual gearbox is, even to this day, the standard in Europe. I would be very surprise to meet someone with a driver license who can’t drive manual. It seems in the USA manual driving is a hobby for car enthusiast. But what do I know? I have never step foot on the new continent.
Yeah well it’s hard when you hear all your life if you mess up once you blow the transmission,.which is a several grand repair, nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car and well hey automatics are everywhere and don’t have that headache.
They may have exaggerated the risk of a money shift a tiny bit. Stalling is easy, but blowing the car up has to be hard.
You would really have to do it on purpose to blow up your transmission. These guys had to try pretty hard
nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car
I’m sorry that happened to you. IMO folks are way more precious about their manual transmissions than they need to be. I’ve taught several people to drive stick – including myself, in a brand-new car I drove home from the dealer in rush-hour stop-and-go traffic – and it’s never hurt anything. (That brand-new car still had its original clutch when it was sadly totaled by a falling tree, 100k miles later.)
Nah, they just don’t want you to drive their car. Chance of a money shift is extremely low, and it doesn’t usually happen while learning. Money shifts really happen when you are trying to drive too fast, and you downshift more than 2 gears quickly. Most learners have trouble keeping the RPMs up high enough to money shift. I was perpetually shifting at 1.3k when learning and you can pretty much go from 6 to 2 without money shifting at those low revs.
Am US citizen, only drive manual transmissions. Anyone here who likes cars can drive a manual transmission, anyone who doesn’t like cars doesn’t give a shit about a manual transmission and just wants to get where they’re going.
We invented cars, we’re allowed to decide how they evolve.
American too. I don’t really like cars, but if I have to drive one, I would prefer one with a manual transmission. Unfortunately, my current car doesn’t have one because they don’t put them in affordable cars anymore.
And if you have an acceleration-activated dash-cam this could cause it to trigger, which is as near to a screenshot as you’re getting!
That’s the clutch and break you fucking idiot.
The image shows the clutch and brake being pressed though…
Turn the car off, shift to 4th gear, press break, break and windshield wiper, then turn it back on to enter Developer Mode
You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.
It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.
And for this next trick, we will dance the macarena while reciting the alphabet backwards and jumping on one foot!
That sounds like the automotive hokey-pokey I had to do with my 06 corolla for the key fob.
We need to test a vehicle on a dynamometer and to get the transmission into dyno mode it was something like that, press brake 3 times, press the button on the shift selector twice, move to neutral then reverse 3 times, etc, it was a super long combo. It was so satisfying to see the CAN message that we entered test mode
I have a motorcycle that uses a keyfob, there’s a sequence of events using the stop-run switch and the turn signals so you can enter a code and get the bike to start.
Harley-Davidson Nightster.
The fob is actually my only complaint about the bike. It’s nice that it’s ready to start when you walk up to it, but it still has a key to unlock the steering. The fob is just uneccesary, could have included the immobilier in the key like car companies have been doing since the 1990’s.
If you press the gas pedal long enough, you see a rewind of your life
