So true!!!

I live in SE Virginia. I own two 98 V70 w/manual. I also own a 88 245 w/manual ... not to mention the 67 MGB. All you see is A/T down here.

I bought the first V70 from a dealer near Foxboro Mass.

I bought the second (my T-5M; learned it was for sale on the Brickboard) from a PO on Long Island.

In places where someone else has to drive your car, the young kid has to go find some old guy in the back who knows how to drive a stick shift. Before it gets to that, I always announce loudly that it is a manual tranny and get a few blank stares.

I must be gettin' old .....
