Awesome- congratulations on your new car! I thought I was the only crazy person who liked a standard transmission!

Definitely good to have a reliable vehicle. I remember the days of "maybe it'll work today" cars and I can't say I have much nostalgia for them.

I am thinking of getting a Mini, but not a manual. Hope you enjoy it!

I love manual transmissions. I get really bored driving automatics- not to mention it's problematic when I try to use the clutch. I have to tuck my left leg under my right when I am driving Eric's car, as I've accidentally slammed on the brakes more times than I care to admit. Congrats, Lisa!!!!!!

I've driven enough different cars that I usually remember what I'm driving at the moment, only had once or twice when I've tried to clutch an automatic. Really confusing when that happens, though, isn't it? Took me a second to figure out what was wrong.

I get bored with an automatic, too. Much prefer my 5-speed.

I love to drive. So when Lani and I bought a new car she insisted we get a manual as she said it would make me love driving even more.

She was wrong. I don't have any problem with a manual transmission, I just don't think it is an improvement.

So it turns out I love to drive, I am indifferent to manipulating my car.

We spent an extra month or two when we bought our last car just so that I could get a manual trans. I had to give in on the color, but I got the right car otherwise.

So, I'm sure most of you heard about the power outage in San Diego and surrounding areas today. It started at about 3:40. Which was when I was just about to get off the freeway in Escondido for a press check. Which is kinda hard to do without power.

I'll be driving to Escondido again tomorrow morning. :sigh:
