    so you should inconvenience yourself because he don't wanna learn something?

    i ain't being judgmental or anything; i just think he should be more grateful he's getting a vehicle & just learn to drive it.
    maybe that's cause when i was wanting to learn to drive, they told me "fine, but you're learning on a stick"
    i tried to teach my little brothers on mine, one did somewhat alright but didn't wanna get better & the other just said he didn't want to. now i've got a great reason to never let them borrow the truck or the vette.

    I hear ya, zebra, I learned the same way & am very thankful to know how to row my own. Alot of my ol' skool friends always say, if it doesn't have 3 pedals, it ain't no hotrod, haha. Believe me, I get plenty of folks asking for their personal projects, as well, ha.

    You're right though, Lambo, it's a customer truck & I even said the same thing to this kat about being too lazy to shift his own gears, ha. I just threw'm a qoute off the top of my head for the 60E, knowing my tranny guy has a couple. I called'm to see if he still did & that's when the whole "control" issue came into play, ha. I'm glad he brought it up & I don't mind doing it, but the kid may not want to since it'll cost'm a tad more. We'll see.
