......as I get older and the knees get noisy and noisier....I sometimes wish I had an automatic.....but when I figure I'm not in town that much and most of the time over the road -I'm on the X-way driving-the transmission is in 10th anyway.....it is all about cost and rebuildability-relyability on the road.....if I loose an auto for whatever reason -Lets say in Georgia- I'm screwed cuz the local Volvo Dealer is going to get all he can get-cuz I'm stuck with not being able to move the truck at a reasonable cost. If I'm here in Cincinchitty Ohio- I can get the truck moved 100 miles at no cost......even a factory authorized rebuilt stick is cheaper than an auto with minor problems if it has to be lifted out of the truck.....and at $90 an hour they got me and there is nothing I can do about it.....'cept bend over and smile!.....geofkaye
