    And he was a great painter, insofar as mind fucks go. Wouldn't want any of his stuff hanging on my wall, though, lest Granny have a coronary.

    Not saying the entire population of Austin is comprised of the aforementioned just to many of them for my taste.

    No I don't think so. I had a manual that I drove in my 01' but went to Auto because that's all they had. It also helps having an Auto living in the city. If I lived out in the country I'd totally wanna go back to a manual tranny, they make driving more interesting.

    I would much rather have a Vette with a Stick even if at full throttle on a race track that the Auto is a fraction of a second faster.
