I can't handle it physical anymore with my bad knees.<br /><br />And I disagree with the adage that you don't drive an automatic. You may not change gears, but you are always responsible for controlling the vehicle when you get behind the wheel. An automatic transmission is simply that...it changes it's own gears. It does not steer or make decisions for you.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-9628130817882142192009-06-04T13:04:58.520+08:002009-06-04T13:04:58.520+08:00That's what I heard about the automatic... the...That's what I heard about the automatic... the car drives you instead of the other way roundTerra Shieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039195435967190497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-82348441072776617012009-06-04T10:29:41.504+08:002009-06-04T10:29:41.504+08:00There are many people who love the manual but I am...There are many people who love the manual but I am at a point that I don't want to thin.
