In re: the matter of manual transmissions

Didn’t have much of a choice, sadly. Company moved my lab from a 40 minute train ride to a two hours in hell drive. Moving was financially out of the question.

These days, it’s a 7 minute walk. That’s something I can live with!

But you live really close to one of the best road racing tracks (street circuit, too) in the US -- pick up a used BMW or Cayman and go have some fun

Every time we get near Watkins Glen, I am irresistibly pulled toward the wineries.

One of our close friends is an avid car builder and racer, and will be doing some races there later this year, so that will be my excuse to visit the track.

I would like a pickup truck. But unless it has a long bed, a single wide bench seat, and three on the tree, it's not happening for me. Getting rid of that old Dodge was one of my major mistakes, in life.
