I'm pretty sure all emojis were yellow to begin with.

Proving they learned NOTHING from the debacle, Flu clearly plans on trying to turn the Porsche into the tech-filled bastard that the TT never quite did (to no fault of the car beyond its design).
The only time I've ever seen the TT remotely near the street racing scene which Flu clearly seems enamored by (despite hillariously still quoting Jace Connors challenging them to a street race as a death threat)...was an option for Need for Speed Underground 2. And it wasn't even that good a car compared to every other traditional tuner car base in the game (if you didn't use the Nissan Skyline you were insane). Porsche may have cars on european race circuits but those are custom one-off machines, not shit exported to America.
Hell, even the Fast and Furious films make fun of the stupid expensive sportscars - in Fate of the Furious, the one guy takes the Lambo and it fucking sucks on the ice during the final chase sequence.
I think this proves that Flynt doesn't understand how to drive manual, since most media depictions have the driver always have their hands on the wheel and the clutch at all times. Thus, Flu doesn't know what happens if you let go of the clutch (answer: nothing, it isn't a fragile hairtrigger bomb after all) and thus, letting go to change the radio is "much more dangerous" than in an automatic where you keep both hands on the wheel.
I'm Asian and Flu offends me. There, I just sank the abomination's argument wholesale.

They must make cars differently for the US domestic market because I operated the clutch with my foot in my Forester XT, and in every manual car I've ever driven.

I'm just suggesting what Flu would know about driving manual purely from the media and maybe how Dom drives in the Fast and Furious films (particularity since Flu is trying to mimic the tuner lifestyle now).
Bottom line is that Wu seems to think driving manual means having to keep your hands on two separate things at all times, thus manipulating the radio volume is dangerous because you have to remove your hand from the clutch or whatever (I will freely admit I don't know how to drive manual either, all I'm citing is what I think Flu would have seen in media as well as what I saw my uncle do when he drove his Mini Cooper once or twice, and I know his car is a manual).

Come the revolution, I see an SJW reeducation camp in your future. These people find evidence of racism in the fact that the turkey Trump pardoned before Thanksgiving was white. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that Jingle Bells is the holiday equivalent of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in blackface singing Jimmy Crack Corn.

Hm, take the $700 head unit out of the abandoned money pit and slap it into the Porsche, or fork out for an entirely new identical unit? Engineer Flynt, champion of the working class, knows the answer!

I was just teasing bro, it's all good. The clutch is the leftmost foot pedal (unless your car is specially adapted for hand control because you can't use your feet, or it's a motorcycle). You don't press it all the time, you only need to press it down when you want to disengage it and coast (bad practice but everyone does it) or like, actually change gear.
We know John doesn't have much of an idea how to drive a manual, so he's probably clinging on to the gearshift for dear life while he drives, or else he's poor at selecting gears and needs to shift too often because he's never in the right gear for the speed he's doing and the upcoming traffic conditions. Plus he must be changing the volume on his stereo up and down like a whore's undies, combined with not having the knowledge to hook his aftermarket(?) stereo up to steering-wheel audio controls.
Either that or, as you say, he's got no idea, has never driven a manual for more than a few meters and thinks you need to be twiddling with the gearshift constantly as you drive.

That strikes me as the most likely explanation.
Because almost everything Flynt/Wu knows is wrong and has been learned from movies, video games, the Internet and social media, I suspect that his concept of how to be a manual tyranny tyranny begins and ends with having binge watched every film in The Fast and Furious franchise. If you ain't up-shifting or downshifting, you ain't driving.

Frank is a dude who spent tens of thousands of dollars to ship a man overseas to get his cock chopped off so that he could then call him a wife.

One of the first results for an emoji I found was this:
It's yellow and has it's mouth wide open. Looks like Frank to me.
I'm not sure how she thinks emojis all look like white people. They look like freaking little cartoons.
Anyone who knows something about drug laws would refrain from using "decriminalize" and "legalize" interchangably as if they refer (heh, refer) to the same legislative result.

For fucks sake, John can't even talk about emoji without lying. What is he even trying to prove?
Seriously, is he on an Ambien binge lately? Shit is getting weird.
They only became yellow a few years ago, AFTER the option to chose skin color was added. Yellow was chosen as a default neutral option. John knows that, because he was one of the people on twitter raving about the new diverse emoji.
I used the originals on Japanese flip phones from the early 2000s. Mostly it was just cute shit girls put in messages, or all the train/building/food/weather stuff used to save screen space on mobile websites (Japan had a fairly useful mobile web back then).

Wow. Johnny actually defers to an expert instead of being the expert. What time line am I in?

Where’s the campaign site John? It’s been nine days now.
Also your finances are due in 2 days. Don’t forget to include your staff’s salary and all the money raised and spent for your “fundraiser “ in Virginia where you coincidentally bought a Porsche.

I too am concerned about the website. My desire to donate peaked during the holidays and has been on the decline ever since.
I tell you soon I may not even want to donate at all!

Frank's family might have constantly been telling him to marry and have children, an ancient Chinese tradition, so Frank rebuilt John Flynt and married him. When the family found out they were pleased, but when will they have children? Where's the children?
Frank smiles as Brianna shuffles into the room and the family is all (there should be a bunch of angry yellow emoticons with seemingly slanted eyes here) and never mentions it again.

There is a trend in Asia where people get cosmetic surgery to have more open or "European eyes". Maybe Wu can blame the Emoji problem on that.

John is the type of person who thinks LEGO minifigs are white people, even though they have rare flesh coloured minifigs to depict white people. Yellow is often chosen as a neutral colour because people aren't yellow.

Current Tally on the Porsche:
$4k on aftermarket stero
$3k approx on repairs from Bollard Crash.
TOTAL: $47k
Also Wu runs approximately 5 miles a day.... every day by their own maths. Which can be achieved in about an hour on their treadmill at a steady pace.
So it's doable, but unlikely.
