Both my rides are sticks...

Probably both gutless, but I don't care - they're sticks!
I have the Nissan Frontier that is one of the very few trucks out there still with a stick.. When I decided to look for a truck, I did a search for "black standard truck" and there was ONE in Texas and it just happened to be in my hometown.. So, I go to test drive it.. it had been sitting there so long - since it was a stick - that the guy tells me at noon, "we close at 9pm - just have it back by then".. I drove around, had it checked etc.. and decided to buy it.. so, I drove back to the lot around 6pm on Saturday tot ell the guy I was gonna buy it.. "Just keep it until Monday and bring me a check".. They were so desperate to sell it, they let me keep it all weekend, unpaid for, no insurance, no collateral.. and I went back Monday with a check.. All that because nobody EXCEPT ME wanted a stick..
The TR7 Spider is, of course, the other stick.. fun, fun, fun car to drive.. You hate Mini-Coopers, but I replaced the alternator in it with a Mini Cooper alternator because it fit perfectly and gave me 35 more amps.. and it has a stick!
I'll never own anything without a stick again... but they are getting TOUGH to find...
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
