<< Gee, let's see...when the last yellow
 comes on, I just stomp on the gas and hold it down. That requires lots

 with STREET radials. Later slushboxheads ;-) >>

Ho ho ho we slushboxheads have a lot of things to do other than what you
think, like watching the rear view mirror for where the 5 speeds went and
listening for which gear he is going to grind or miss all together and then
in the shut down lane I wait up for him to sniff the burning clutch smell
(what a high off that stuff) and I usually wait and let him or her lead back
up the return road, and you think it is easy ole mighty gear grinder. Bring
it on up here I'm ready for your 5 speed. I still have heard more problems
with 5 speeds than autos on this list, I know there was a big discussion on 5
speed problems some time back. You guys favorite character must be Tony the
Tiger Grrrrrrriiiiinnnnnndddddddd.......
