The other day in her 5-speed focus she pulled up to a light with the car in 1st and the clutch in. Stopped the car, put it in second and then took off with the car chunking all the way. she pulled into a gas station up to the pumps in third, slowed down to 15 and shifted into 4th, lurch lurch. She looks better as eye candy in the passenger seat than she does in a bucking stick shift, with me in the passenger seat with a winching pained expression on my face. I love her to death, but......
I've been married for the same number of years as Bob G., however we are not married to each other (thought I should clarify that first).
Like the BuckEye, my Xfire is mine, mine, mine. The Corvette is mine, mine, mine.
My 5speed PT is mine, mine, mine. My wife owns half of everything else we have except the standard trans. vehicles. She can have all of her AUTO PT because I don't want it. I would have bought a PT Convertible for both of us, but she won't drive a standard trans. Some guys have to put up with a lot to be married for that long.
