I completely agree with Ian. Most people are lazy. They also don't enjoy driving. Cars and trucks are simply appliances nowadays. People expect to give them gas and point them where to go. With all the fancy suspensions, speed sensitive steering, liquid filled engine mounts, sound deadening material all over, too low tire pressures, navigation systems to tell them where to turn, whisper quiet exhausts, etc, it's no wonder that people feel completely disconnected from the once loved automobile...all the passion is gone...

Well I'll tell you that driving is a passion of mine, that's why I waited FOUR LONG MONTHS for my truck to be built, WITH A MANUAL, and delivered to my spec. I was not going to "settle" for a truck that cost a grand more and took the fun out of the driving experience. I will gladly wait another four months for my next truck if I can still get a manual. Otherwise, parts swapping will ensue!
