You know that feeling when you do something or your body remembers something because it was habit, that phantom thing (I’m sure that’s the technical term, ha ha).

I have that happen from time to time. I used to wear glasses, so when I scratch my nose, sometimes I make the action of going under my glasses.

Today, I put my hand on the gear shifter in my car as if I was going to shift into third gear, I lost my poor car, which was a stick shift, almost three years ago and I miss that car. (That will be a post for another day) I have a new beetle bug, but it’s an automatic,so sad…DCM has a truck that’s a five speed and he lets me drive it from time to time, yippie! so at least I haven’t lost my touch.

I learned to drive a five speed when I test drove one car, it had no radio and no air, I told them if they put air in it, I will take it, so I was the proud owner of a stick shift!

I love driving a stick, apparently so much that I ghost shift more often than I realize.

How about you? Phantom things?
