Well, I've noticed that occasionally on the more trafficked forums that posting allows multiple persons to view and comment on the written items.
If I understand this newfangled technology correctly, PM's usually are a more private communication allowing one-on-one communication.
:/
Not sure why you're being so hostile.

Yes, I do like to think that any question I ask will not only serve me but also anyone else who has it.
And the more people that get use or entertainment from it the merrier!
Btw, that was a great synopsis Tobash, Thanks!
All of my vehicles,(except for the riding mower..) are manual.
Maybe I have issues with being in control, I don't know, can't afford a psychologist yet..
But I do know that I get amazing MPGs when doing my own shifting. much better than what the vehicles I drive are rated at.
In New York state there really isn't anywhere that I know of for rock climbing, so I can take that off the list of reasons to have an automatic.
But considering the cost of buying a replacement tranny, and including labor, it's probably more than what I will save in fuel anytime soon.
So, as much as I like to mess around with the idea, for now it seems I am going to stick with what I've got(unless I start making some major bank soon...), after all, this truck has less than 8,000miles and for the most part it looks/runs like I imagine it did just off the assembly line.
Hey Tobash, do you have a HMMWV? do you drive it in the Brooklyn area?
I was thinking of driving mine down there someday, those pot holes can be a lot like rock crawling, especially right after winter. I've had some close calls where I'm sure I would have totaled my Jetta.
Actually I was in Greenpoint just two days ago, Manhattan Ave. looks excellent for an offroad experience. They ripped off the top layer for resurfacing so low cars can now scratch their bellies on the manhole covers.
