It's not so much what they THINK as what works.
But in a roundabout way, you have a point.
I tried this morning, I cannot do a clutch for more than a stroke or two
until my hind leg heals up
So I suppose an auto is where I will have to go.

Re: Let me add this
Thanks Jenn...
Like I said to Earle, the decision is prety much made after testing.
I should learn my limitations, but doggone it I don't have to LIKE it.
I DO prefer a standard but I guess I am just gonna be a gimp for awhile and
damned if I am going to let my husband drive all the time LOL
Thanks for the words of encouragement.
