[Shotimes] squeak in left side of dash

[Ron Porter]

Gee, I've been busy the last few days......

Anyway, (1) when I look back at the cars that I fondly remember, and really
enjoyed driving, they were manual trannies, and (2) yes, there are needs for
an ATX, like for my wife who gave up her GT 5.0 5-speed years back when her
clutch knee went bad, and (3) for utility vehicles (SUVs, vans, etc), ATXs
make sense.

Doesn't change my opinion, though, as automatics do not provide the driving
enjoyment. Plus, there are a lot of mentally challenged people who shouldn't
be driving.....period.  I even know/have known some of them. 

And some people say they don't want a manual in traffic....my response is
"what else have you got to do??"

Or maybe for folks who like a particular car that doesn't come with a
stick.......?

Every once in a while, when I'm thinking about three totally different
things to do,
when I'm driving home from a midshift at 6 in the morning in the
GS.....coming to a
stop at an intersection or something like that (not on the freeway), I pick
up my
left foot and try to find the clutch.......I catch the corner of the larger
brake
pedal and slam the car to a stop......THEN I remember it doesn't have a
stick.

I've actually done that just twice (but come close a few other
times)......it was a
rather rude awakening the first time!!!

LOL!!

Still.......waiting for some time to get the Lowrider assembled......it
MIGHT be
done by Christmas time.   This is getting OLD!!  It'll now be on the road
until I
retire from the FAA, in January of '05.  .........at least the house is
pretty much
done..........
