DD: sm Jap sedan is manny. I wish it was not as typical merican I multi task (shame, shame) w/'everything' while driving... coffee, other drink, food, no phoning or dash screen tho (too dangerious). In fact co are saying they'll reduce 'the amount of accessories' ina car.
Some today dont even have the speedo off the screen. It wuz way different in the ol daze when reaching to tune a radio. Could keep eyes on the rd, etc. The screens get bigger'n bigger, etc
Autos now can surpass mannys in MPGs. I want the free arm, n ot a big deal (4 me) w/the left leg. NOW-
my truck isa 5 speed (as well) and needs to stay that way (weather I'm on or off rd). Dont think I'd wan t an auto even while sno plowing.
