I can not wait til the day I get an automatic. I have owned 3 vehicles in my life, all manuals. I've had my truck almost 10 years (95 Ford Ranger with a Splash bed I had put on after this old dude nailed me at a stoplight), I'm so ready for auto, and cruise control. But I really want to build a house so I'm going to drive my truck til it blows (if that ever happens, she's been a good vehicle) and then probably get a car.

When I was 18 yr old, I had a 500 hp 1965 Pontiac GTO convertable. I beat the 383 Road Runner with it to be the fastest car in town. We used to drive way out of town onto this 2 mile flat stretch, and drag race. For the rematch, there was like 300 spectators come out to watch me blow doors.
When I had my 4.56:1 posi rearend, I used to race it at Oxford Plains 1/8 mile dragstrip. I always got beat on the trophy run by an Orange 1968 Mustang. I could beat a CRX in first gear. |

If I drove a big vehicle, like a truck, or van... or SUV or something, I think I would want an automatic. But with a little sports car like mine, manual is the only way to go. It makes me feel alot more connected to the car... of course, I'm a weirdo... so you may not want to take too much stock in what I say.

Having never driven nothing (double negative?!) but sticks, I even learnrd how to drive with a stick, I just want the "freedom" of an automatic. I drive long distance everyday just about and I don't even have cruise control. I love my truck, and the thought of giving her up (trade in) makes me want to cry, thats why I'm just going to keep her. Besides shes worth more to me than any blue book price, (I think its like $1700, if that). P.S. Its not a big truck its a Ranger, 4 cylinder too, woo who!!! I lose about 5 mph going up small hills. LOL |
