Re: RC: Auto vs. manual for towing

["Carolyn Burgess" <carolyn_burgess@hotmail.com>]

Oh, no.  The first time I have to agree with Howard!  I can drive a 
standard, I was forced to learn on one.  My Dad would not allow me to drive 
anything but a standard when I was learning.  But most women don't like to 
or don't know how to drive one.  I just bought two new trucks: one for me 
and one for my husband.  My husbands truck is a Ford F350 extended cab, with 
the 7.3L diesel.  It is also a dually.  We both wanted a standard for the 
control.  I have the 5.4L gas engine in my Expedition (they don't offer a 
standard transmission) and I have to turn off the auto overdrive.

Common ladies, we have to show Howard he's wrong!  So learn how to drive 
those standards.
