@cookinfreak Love it!  I would wear a t-shirt like that.  Do they even make manual transition cars anymore?

Not sure if you can get maual transmission cars anymore. I would think maybe some of the sport cars still have them. I knew someone that was buying a jeep and this was many years ago and wanted the manual trans, but was told they don't make them any more. Dont know if thats still the case or not.

@ECBG This sounds like a prompt to check out how well one's insurance might pay.    Years ago I bought my husband a shirt that said "My wife complains I never listen to her..... or something like that! "

If you live in a hilly area (I do) the last thing you want is a manual transmission. I can remember being at a red light on a hill n the middle of a bunch of cars in front of me and a bunch in back. Scared me to death.

The street I grew up on was on one big long hill. Learned to drive on a Volkswagen bus. 4 speed. Could stop in the middle of the hill and then go with no problem.It worked out for me as I always had manuel shift in my cars until sometime in the eighties.
