Well, that goes without saying. Obviously if it were on a trailer, it 
would be mounted forward. Aerodynamically it makes more sense.

If I learn how to drive a manual transmission vehicle within the next 
year then I needn't worry too much about that. Of course, driving an 
automatic pickup and nothing else doesn't allow me much time or 
opportunity to learn and practice. I really would like to learn as it 
would enhance the spectrum of cars I could purchase. Then again I have 
mixed feelings about it as I drive in the city a lot. A LOT a lot. Like, 
most of the time, except for 800+ mile road trips. And frankly, the De 
would be a lot of fun around the city. I think unless I move out of the 
city (unlikely - I'm a city boy born, bred, & buttered), I'll get an 
automatic. There are plenty out there.
