"...To her shock, Mark couldn't figure out how to start it.

LOS ANGELES—A local woman has filed for divorce after discovering her husband had lied about his ability to drive a stick shift. The couple, married for just over a year, seemed to be the perfect match until this revelation shifted their marriage into reverse.

Jane Thompson, 32, shared her frustration with friends and family, explaining how the lie unraveled their marriage. "I trusted him with everything," Jane said. "When I found out he can only drive automatics, it felt like a betrayal of trust on so many levels."

The discovery occurred when Jane's car, a classic shitty BMW, needed to be moved out of the garage for some repairs. She asked her husband, Mark Thompson, 34, to take care of it. To her shock, Mark couldn't figure out how to start it.

"I knew it was over at that moment," Mark admitted. "I wanted to impress her when we first met, and I thought I could learn how to drive stick shift before she ever found out. But time went on, and I just kept putting it off. I'm not a lame, I swear!"

Friends and family were equally astonished by the situation. Jane's best friend, Lisa Carter, expressed her disbelief. "How can you call yourself a car guy and not know stick? And If he could lie about something so fundamental, what else was he hiding?"

Jane filed for divorce shortly after the incident, citing irreconcilable differences and a lack of intelligence. She has since moved in with her parents while she sorts out her next steps.
