But ... but... but! Don't hamstring yourself with an automatic!

You Know You're an Ecomodder (or just a generic car guy) When: you're walking down the street as someone pulls away from a stop in a plain jane 2000-2006 Camry sedan and you realize it's got a manual transmission! Unicorn sighting! Actually happened to me this summer.
