Shift!!!!

So today we have to write about a odd news story.  I will be writing today about a funny news story.

So on December 2, two people were trying to carjack a car.  This happened in St. Petersburg, Florida.  The car they were trying to steal was a 2007 Nissan.  They apparently pulled a gun on the occupants inside, a 45 year-old male and his 23 year-old girlfriend, and told them to get out of the car or they would shoot. They also wanted money and a cell phone.  The couple got out of the car.

The two would-be carjackers didn't get far.  Turns out neither of them could drive stick.  So they gave up and ran away.  They still got a cell phone, but they did not get any money from the couple. 

It turns out that the two suspects were more interested in the phone than in the car.  Apparently it was a smartphone, although it might not mean anything to the story.

If you would like to take a look for yourself, then here is where I found it:  http://rumors.automobilemag.com/would-be-carjackers-foiled-by-stick-shift-92247.html

As for me, I think this story is hilarious.  I can't drive stick but I would know whether or not a car was automatic or standard once I looked inside.  The two people who tried to take the car were not too bright, in my opinion.

Well that is all for this post.  Until next time... FFF
