yeah! it's the way i feel too! been shiftin' my brains out for over 40 big ones
and gotta say i'm lookin' for a change! got damn little to do with growing old,or being lazy,just getting sick of shifting all the time,and since i drove both,i determined,at least to me,that i can STILL have a ''ton" of fun with the ''slush box",and don't miss the stick at all...just sayin'
