You did mention it!
And that IS something to be admired for. No blower, no bottle is how I
like it. 5 spd or auto, who REALLY cares? I just found an indisputable
point for autos and decided to throw in and liven things up with a

 " Autos are safer than 5 spd because you have to use a hand to shift
that should be on the steering wheel with the other hand."
Or something to that effect.
