Im selling my baby.
. Its a sad, sad time for me. Gotta make room for the new family vehicle, 2013 ford edge. My 1999 Dodge dakota R/T has to go. Never understood why Dodge only made them automatic. They most definitely should have been a manual trani. Ive had this truck for 12 years and now I have to say goodbye.

Oh dude I totally feel you... Kids have shaped my whole life in the last couple, three years! I never wanted a 4 door! Ever! But man, getting a kid in a booster seat in a two door, absolutely bites chunks! Such large chunks I got a 4 door. There was no way I could wait till they got old enough to hit the 40lbs booster seat where they can put themselves into it.

On a positive note though - I just took a test ride in the ford edge. Brother - ford has come a long way, and the toys that come with that car are sick! For sure get the back up camera! Kids move quickly! It's a nice midsize dad.
Plus, no more buddy's asking you to help them move!! You'll have to get your free pizza and bear another way.

Sticks are for pansies, the really macho guys drive an old Ladas with the battery removed and hand crank it.

Try that at -20C with heavy oil and decent engine compression after it sat over night unplugged.Last edited by BobH; 09-03-2012 at 02:39 AM.

Well - I think I'll be buying the cheapest new car out there to get me through the next couple of years... it has hand cranked windows (can you believe it? I didn't think they still made those), does that count?Sticks are for pansies, the really macho guys drive an old Ladas with the battery removed and hand crank it.

Re: How many of you drive stick?
I've only ever driven stick. There's something about automatic that doesn't rub me right. Seems like a lazy way to do something. IMHO, driving, especially a sports car, should be enjoyable.
Current ride is a 95 Acura Integra GSR. Other is a 76 CB750F. And if you want to but a cafe racer, you'll need to build one. Another unspoken rule....

No I don't drive stick. I am more of a power steering, antilock brakes, automatic transmission, lazy kinda guy. If I could afford a chauffeur I'd hire one
