Hmmm. I see it shows this as a quote. I distinctly hit the reply to thread button. This has happened before

We are not having a cooler summer, as I prognosticated earlier. The temperatures are indeed normal, but it feels cooler. Perhaps I have finally acclimated.

Honda has a six speed stick, but the gear ratios are so skewed that it is tough(and not worth it)to figure out. The automatic we have in our Fit has far more pick-up than any car I've ever owned, or rented.

It wasn't my last stick shift but it was hands down my favorite stick, a '77 Celica with the legendary 22R engine.

Battaglin Update - I know you were all just DYING for this!!!
Before this afternoon's ride, I rotated the bars down a fair bit. Rode 4 miles with them like that, but that was too far. So I rotated them up a bit and rode another 4 miles. Rotated them up just a smidge, and that was much better. They're still rotated a bit relative to their starting point, and I think I'll stop there.

He leased a hydrogen powered Toyota for his wife and it's been nothing but trouble.
