Until I was on this forum I did not relise what a big deal it is.I must be the only one who looked for an AT car.The car has a level 10 built transmission and shifts fast.
Learned to drive 3 on the tree.Drove over the road for years(15 speed).Have 66 Vette with stick.
Do not want to open this debate again.Now days with the modern transmissions if you want to go fast you get AT.You want to have fun you get a stick.

Well this is accurate: Scandinavistan.

Also inaccurate - unless you're referring specifically to Sweden.

Why are you getting so butthurt about Scandinavistan? From the look of your name, you've got some connection. I too am of Scandanavian decent. But let's call a spade a spade here.

Just calling you on the spread of factually incorrect information. You could legitimately argue that a large percentage of Sweden's population is migrant-based (20%), of which only about 8% are actually muslim. But considering the extremely small migrant populations of Denmark, Norway, and Finland, calling them collectively Scandinavistan reeks of the sort of misinformation I usually hear from Faux News.

And yes, I'm of Swedish heritage.

Same here... 3 on the tree of my grandfather's old farm truck. Up and down that dirt road hoping I could shift all 3. Good memories.

Next car was a Chrysler Windsor with 'Fluiddrive'... it had 3 pedals and you could column shift it (3 on the tree) or you could drive it like an automatic... really strange, but handy when one hand was full.... ;)
