First thing I did was fit a Speco center shift, LOL, becauseracecar, LOL.

3 on the tree! I haven't heard that in ages. That was my first driving experience.



What about "4 on the floor"

I got a decent job right out of high school. I love cars. BUY... Bye bye money... lol. I crashed 2 of them and sold the rest after a few months to a year. Constantly getting new cars. Some at the auction. Then I started "working" at a piant & body shop for a bit... Things progressed into a full blown addiction.

That's about as many as ol @Tcoat has had. Of course, most of his he either blow up on race tracks or they just rusted away -

Wouldn't have it any other way. I also have a Land Cruiser 200 with a 4.5L twin turbo diesel V8 but AT and I can only imagine how much more fun it would be with a manual

All that info, to me says you LOVE the manual no matter what engine / size of vehicle you're driving!!

That isn't a good or bad thing , it's just neutral

And I would venture to say that you had more left over at the end of the day than you do now - ??

No.
Or more accurately I don't know. I couldn't even tell you how much I make now. I would guess I have more now but spend it traveling across the content to hang out with the west coast crew.
