    Well I feel compelled.

    Just keep in mind if you have a bad left hip knee or ankle that third pedal is a real pain, pun intended. That's when you'll be a kickin' youself for the manual (with your good leg).

    I think you made a good choice, myownself; half the fun of drivin' is stirrin' the cogs. However, Kitz does have a point; but, even as broken as I am, I still work the Muncie out.

    Like Ken said "3 pedals".

    That would be my choice. Except maybe in bumper to bumper traffic on the interstate running a fast 3 - 5 miles per hour. Then I think my left leg would probably give up the ghost. Been in that situation too many times and at my age, it just ain't fun anymore.

    A good friend will come and bail you out of jail....but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying..."Damn....that was fun!
