Re: [DML] Automatic vs. Stick

["Murray Fisher" <murrayfw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Automatics are for old men. (I am 84!!)..   As you can see by my years I 
have had a lot of time and cars.   I really enjoyed the straight sticks over 
this time.....made me feel like a REAL MAN.....All of my cars now are 
automatic.  I got tired in all of those years of spending all my time 
"rowing through those gears".   It is SO NICE now, to sit back and relax and 
just steer between the telephone poles!   I don't know what the actual 
figures are as to numbers of Auto VS 5 speeds, but when I was looking for 
mine, 10 years ago, I found it difficult to find an Auto.  My criteria at 
that time was that it had to be Auto, Gray leather and the original SS.   I 
checked all sources and it was My experience that there were about 1 in 10 
that were automatic.  I don't really believe that is correct though.  I was 
almost on my way to the big city to look at two 5 speeds, when the night 
before I left, an Automatic showed up that had only 3K miles on it....just 
what I was looking for and I bought it and drove it home.   But more power 
to you 5 speed "kids".  Its YOUR turn to have the fun!!
