At first I thought this was a joke. Nope. If you carry an X chromosome in Saudi Arabia, don't bother learning how to work a stick shift.
My nomination for Jerk Quote of the Day:
"Driving by women leads to evil," Munir al-Shahrani wrote in a letter to the editor of the Al-Watan daily. "Can you imagine what it will be like if her car broke down? She would have to seek help from men."

I agree with the first part of his quote. ;-) I once had a prolonged argument with a female friend about women drivers. She claimed that women's lower insurance rates were evidence of their being better drivers. I claimed that everything depends on how you define "bad" when it comes to driving. Insurance companies measure the tangibles, but I think the habits of bad drivers are often harder to measure.
Anyway, that's my jerk quote of the day.
