Re: Let me add this
By the way, hang in there on the tendon. Those are a bitch anytime. I tore one
lightly, thought all was healed months later, then retore it walking down the steps
in the gym, just hours before a national competition. Sucked big time to try to
compete with that hurting. If I had a bum left leg I sure would want an auto!! I've
come back from trips so tired its all I can do to get the clutch to the floor.

Dang it Earle!
*sigh*
I just don't know.
I would hate to go out and spent $30k on a rig and have it hurt to drive it.
The mustang used to bug me a little, and I got up in the truck yesterday and
tried it a couple of times and it barked at me.
Often just walking on it without that damn boot makes it fire off.
I have no idea how long it will take to heal but I don't think I want to
wait that long.
The quack doesn't even know why it won't heal. Prolly meanness - yup yup -
prolly just good old fashioned meanness.

Re: Let me add this
Hey Tom,
all of what you say id valid in every way. I know it.
I don't think I would hate an auto, I have just always enjoyed a stick so
much more, I have a "spirited" style of driving and the stick would be best
for (as you say) crawling, but hell, it's not like a little braking would
hurt it. I just like that with a stick I can get better performance for
passing and all.
I'm looking at autos, have driven them and they (it was an accident I SWEAR)
will bark the 31's no problem.
I think it willl be just fine but I didn't want to get one with an auto and
find out that they are notorious for some problem or another.
I have had 4WDs in both and truthfully, preferred the auto BUT that was in
pickemup trucks and Blazers, not a Jeep.
Everyone is great for all of the info they are giving.
Thanks :)
