“Caw, Caw!” The call of the wild calls you. Are you listening? Do you dare challenge their power? Do you dare invade? Nature will always triumph in the end.

@Tybbs, remember that S15 I told you about? Well, it looks like its going back into the woods from whence it came. WooHoo! In its place, I found a '91 Lumina (3.1L, automatic *cringes*) for $700. Its mine as soon as I can sell my damned pickup. If only I could afford to put one of my Camaros back on the road...

Easier said than done, I'm afraid. Its just cheap transportation with 150k mi of "experience."Originally posted by oki101
If you buy that car, you HAVE to change to a manual gearbox.
I used to be able to switch my old car between an auto and a four speed in the better part of a Saturday, but once you own a car with a manual, why would you even drive an auto? I think Tybbs knocks what he hasn't tried.

He sure does. I`ve tried both but nothing beats manual, especially when it`s wet or icey.
I`m clueless when it comes to changing something other than oil, water and gasoline on a car, but thats why I have a brother who`s an car-mechanic apprentice. Gotta give him something to do, right.
The only time I would even consider buying an automatic *shudders* would be if I moved to a big city and never drove outside it.
