Re: [Chrysler300] Stick Shifts in 300s

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keep in mind that most of these auction cars are bought by retiring 
guys with too much extra money to play with (No offence if you're one  
of them!). Many are buying back their youth and memories . I would buy 
a stick over an auto if it was just for shows and occasional cruses. 
Sadly, for a daily driver, I gotta go with an auto now. But I still 
have my pipes!!!

I guess it's all a matter of how you grew up. I grew up racing, 
involved from about 14 years old. My first 10-12 cars were sticks, I 
wouldn't own an auto shift, they were for wimps. Eventually, I had to 
settle for an auto, couldn't get sticks anymore. My first auto was a 56 
Nomad. Later, after the trans fell out with my wife driving, I replaced 
it with a 3 speed and a 409 engine. Now that was one bad Nomad.

Regards and see ya in Ashville, Ray
