 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.

| Nevermind | 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 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:
