Finally, I want to repspond to this before I get back to see if I still have
a life..
I myself, prefer a stick in most cases. Thankfully, so does my wife:>)
My '86 Jeep's a stick. Her '84 Toyota's a stick. Our big Dodge Ramasaurus
van is an auto - wouldn't want a stick there.
Our 'nice' car is also a stick. And here's the interesting part - can anyone
ID this car from this info? There's a free 350/2.8 in it for the winner*.
It's a 2001, American car. First time these guys have put a stick in a car
since 1951. Mine is one of < 1/2 of 10f the 120,000 or more of these cars
sold. A real rarity. Not a real fast ride, but a real sweet one.
OM content - I have a picture of the car taken with Olympus camera.
