Well, actually, Howie dear, they came INTO my life driving automatics.  I should have read the handwriting on the wall right there--I should have run like all get-out when they showed up driving automatic pickups on the very first date!  And too bad I wasn't on ridecamp back then--your speculation regarding amputation might well have been appropriate, although in both cases, they needed one arm to run the remote control.  Other than that, I'm not sure either one would have missed the remaining appendages...  <G>  Lord knows they never figured out that legs could get one from the couch to the refrigerator during commercial breaks...
