I have had the priviledge of driving a 94 Ram with a 5 speed manual, and of course, my truck is a 94 Ram with an Automatic trans. I LOVE my truck, but also love manuals...both trucks had the 5.9 L V8, but they are 'tricked out' differently, so it wasn't a good way to compare them. LOL!</P>


I miss my first...I had a 98 Pontiac Sunfire with a stick, that car was awesome... LOL! I thought I was a badd ***... I had a license plate that said 'BITCH' and on the rear window, Fear This Bith... LOL! Now that I have my truck, I'm much less discrete... LOL!</P>


What do you have? If an auto, do you miss having a stick shift?</P>

P.S. Trying to make conversation people... let's start chatting... LOL!</P>

 

I have an auto...and I am embaresed to say that I have never driven nor do I know how to drive a stick!!!!

 

Don't be embarassed! LOL! You're never too old to learn! Those Manual Rams are tough though... I mean, drop that baby down two gears and let her rip... LOL! But I don't know if my trans would be in one piece if I was still driving that one... LOL!</P>

Do you know how to drive one? I prefer them too... but I, of course, adore my truck as is. LOL!</P>

<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just bought my 99 QC, 2x4 with 318 and a MANUAL shifter.(Had a F250 4x4 before this) I'm going to have to get a job at Goodyear to keep the tires on my new rig. I don't think a truck should have an automatic unless you are the kind of person that sees a vehicle as just something to get you from here to there. A stick is so much more fun. It gives you more control and a better MPG overall, too!</FONT></P>

I miss my stick... but what are you to do when the truck calls to you to buy her and she's an automatic? You can't fault her on it. LOL! </P>


Plus, from your other post, I could tell you adored your truck before you even actually got the keys, what if it had been an auto?</P>


I miss the control and fun things you could do witha stick (scare the elders behind you cause your rolling back just a little... LOL!)</P>

LOL! I don't think she would have called to me if she was an auto! She KNEW that I WAS THE ONE for her because she knew I was looking for a stick... Funny that something with a stick is being called "her". LOL But, yes, I do really really really enjoy this truck. What? What's that? Oh, hang on a minute... I hear a voice coming from out front...hold on...it's just my truck. hehe</P>


I'll get some pics put up after she trusts me a little more and stops being so shy!</P>


Later!</P>

 

Ooops, </P>


I failed to mention the best part of the story on how I got my truck. I'm so good. Last Friday I took my F250 to a Ford dealer that had a 98 Grand Caravan loaded to the hilt with great miles. I took my wife, of course, who has never likedmini-vans, let alone sedans. She drove this van and I think it called to her, too. So, I traded my 96 Ford for the van. Talk about having some leverage to work with on Sunday when "she-truck" called to me across the lot! Ring Ring... "Honey... bring your car up to the dealership, I've got something to show you." Hehe</P>


All is fair in love and war. I'll post again when I get back from Car Toys with my new sound system. <IMG src=smileys/smiley15.gif border="0"></P>
