I like Hernandez, so I'll give this a shot.

Also, it has Han.

Re: Magnum PI (reboot)

Definitely more of a Burn Notice vibe than the original Magnum series. Seems the new Higgins encompasses more than just the old Higgins, she also replaces Mac/Maggie of Naval Intelligence. The Nuzzo character was also in the original series and part of a multi-episode arc. Really doesn't look like they'll play the Higgins is Robin Masters card in this.

Looking forward to the crossover with Blue Bloods.

Seriously, this looks like total shit.

Ooo, I know. NCIS: Seattle, featuring an ex-Army Ranger from Ft. Lewis. Totally original.

I think it's sad when you brag about knowing how to drive a stick.

Stick is rarely used from that I can tell unless it's a sports car. I don't know anyone who drives it these days. Most cars are automatic.

I love this Tattoo as it's clearly a poser tat. There is no shift pattern like this out there.

In the Jeep world there are a lot of people that prefer to drive stick myself included.

I saw an ad for this show on TV and didn't realize it was not for a bad movie until the middle or so when they had the title scroll.... I have my doubts this will be any good.

Tell that to the rest of the world. Try renting a small car in Europe; most are sticks. They will bump you up to a large sedan and even those have manual transmissions.

I was speaking mostly from my experiences driving here in Los Angeles and sitting in other cars here.

But yeah I'm aware that other countries are still using stick mostly. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand and most cars there are stick.

I don't see what's so funny about Hernandez saying he can drive stick. It's just an added benefit to him being able to drive Magnum's iconic car.

My wife and I still do. We recently bought a 2015 Civic SI, specifically because it was stick.

Now your just backtracking. You said "stick is rarely used" in your original post. That's pretty much a blanket statement. I just had to comment on that. Also, 99% of sports cars that are produced today are automatic. Ferrari doesn't even make a manual transmission. Porsche was criticized for not putting a manual in one of their high end cars and caved in by putting a manual back in the following year.

Hernandez saying he can drive a stick is hilarious because not too long ago no one ever questioned if you can drive a stick or a person mentioning they can. Everyone I grew up with knows how to drive a manual. Even my kids know now, too.

Re: Magnum PI (reboot)

Watching "The Amazing Race" , it's critical that contestants know how to drive manual, because it tends to be prominent in other countries. I was reading an article with a former "Big Brother" contestant who was scheduled to be on next season, but was dropped at the last minute. She was complaining because she and her partner paid for lessons to learn how to drive stick, saying it cost (in LA) $300 an hour.

The actor sounds like a bit of a tool. But to his credit, a gated shifter, like the one in the 328, is especially tricky.

Re: Magnum PI (reboot)

I'll give it a shot. I thought I would hate the Lethal Weapon reboot too and it turned out pretty good. At least, until they fired "Riggs".
