In 2007 we bought a 2006 Jag S Type with 10k mi on it from our local Ford dealer. It had been a rental car. We got it for half price of a new one.
We just sold a 1992 Toyota pickup with 34k mi on it. rofl
Snag-a-deal!! Good going!
This experience absolutely brought things in perspective.
I have driven a standard for years. I like them. They save on gas mileage and...they are fun.
But when the thought enters my mind that my knees might not hold up, it’s time to switch my point of view.
I hate being a grown up!!!
I saw this article and thought of you... great looking older gal in the story, too:
Thanks for the article! And very true...lots of younger folks don’t have a clue how to drive a standard.
I like them purely because they're fun.
Way back when I had an Opel GT, 4 speed, just pure fun to drive.
