Just wondering what the break-down is.  Vote once for each vehicle.

Up until 2 weeks ago I had 2 4 speed ebodies and an automatic. Now I have one of each, although my 4 speed car is need of a full restoration and missing many parts.

Mine's an auto, which is fine by me. Sticks are fun for sure for sure. But I'm not gonna convert my convert! Plus I have arthritis in my left foot.... from kickin' so much butt over the years.  :roflsmiley:


BTW- I've ran into allot of young guys (and gals) that don't have a clue on how to drive a stick!  I learned the old fashioned way. Bought a car and had to drive it home.  :grinyes:

I've got an automatic. A four speed would be cool, but the auto suits me just fine.

Thats exactly how i learned!  :lol:

If you find a 'car young guy', they'll probably know how to drive one. One kid at BMW school stalled the BMW 335 pulling it in the shop, its pretty hard to stall a BMW to begin with...he is now known as '6-speed' and nothing else

  Mine is an auto but I bought most of the bits back with me from America to convert it to a 4 speed.   :2thumbs:
  I'm with Chryco, never learnt how to drive an auto, started driving when I was 11 (MG TC and a English Vanguard), very few cars fitted with autos then.   :bigsmile:   :burnout:   :burnout:
