. As stated above, "minus an arm & a leg", I'm sure. Might as well get a good deal on an automatic & get ready to pay my mechanic when the tranny fails. At least, get a Hyundai (or Kia) with the hundred grand warranty....... Oh, I did that already.
Someday, maybe I'll get a Mecum or Barrett/Jackson 1960's car & retro it with big shiny alloys, raised white letter tires & a 5speed tranny. Lots of sparkly metal flake, too. My long time mechanic will do all that "special stuff".
