Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Used to be that manual transmissions were lighter, and that was one reason you got better mileage with them, or so my dad used to say.
I love having a manual transmission, but NSM in heavy traffic, or as David says, when in traffic in SF. Bah on the way there are lights at the top of the hills!
Also my Mom had a perfectly good manual, but as she got older she lost the upper body strength needed to buy one, had to sell it and buy an automatic. She would have been a lot better off financially if she had had an automatic to begin with. If you are middle aged or older, or if your health is not great I highly recommend an automatic just because it is easy to lose the ability to drive shift if your health takes a turn for the worse.
My four-cylinder truck is considered underpowered by a lot of people, but a stick shift can make up for that. I had a diesel Rabbit with a stick and loved it, but the automatics were almost undrivable. They went from zero to 50 in about a day.
I had a diesel Rabbit
that is what I learn stick on.

It's always the mother's fault when a boy turns out gay.
This is an example of Poe's Law, right?
Oh, wait, no, it's an actual parody. Just not the Onion. Check out the rest of the site.
I msut say, the interactive map I have finally found on weather.com is really good in that you can get a very close-up streetview of the radar.
Moooom! msbelle is weather-stalking me!
I bought a car with a manual transmission mostly so I could really learn how to drive stick.
I'm up from my nap. It's windy and rainy, but not that bad. I can still get out my front gate without walking through a puddle, which is not something I can do in most thunderstorms. Stood on the front porch for a bit - no flying debris yet. I'll need to take Frankie out soon.
Yep, bored now. Maybe I'll get my house super clean or something.
