Now, I hadn't thought of that. I'll be wanting to change soon, as I think I
said. My S10 is too small and too gutless.

Well, I'd love an auto instead of my current 5 speed, but that's mainly because
I'm in the line for a knee replacement before year's end (I hope). I also live
in Virginia, so AC is kind of nice. But otherwise, I can live without
carpets--very easily--and a simulated wood dash and plus seats and such. A
plain old bench seat with good headrests for protection and a decent seat belt
set up and I'm fine. I don't even need a radio/tape player, etc. I keep
forgetting it's there, and when I turn it on and get an announcer, I usually
turn it right off. I gotta listen to enough idiots for my work.
