I drive 40k miles per year...in a Ford Crown Victoria. Screw mileage, I want to be comfortable and go fast.

I sure enjoy my '97 Crown Vic with the Performance and Handling Package. I only wish it had a 5- (or 6-) speed stick, bucket seats, ...

I have an automatic now, but I really enjoyed my 82 Volkswagen rabbit, It was a five speed. I also had a 1970 Chevy pickup that was a "three on a tree". Now that took some getting used to! But when all is said and done, I prefer the automatic in mu Jeep.

Williams is staring tonight, lets make it 2-0!

I have a '96, but it's tricked out. ;o) Cop gear and such...indestructible and flat out fast. I do the work myself.

The manny tranny conversion is tough because there's no good way to hang the clutch pedal--else it'd easy. There's a Ford 5-speed that mates up perfect (C-5?).
