I'm still trying to step on a clutch, good breaks too.

The training wheels and long bed is gonn'a take some getting to. It takes a 40 acre field to turn around...

Yep, it's missing the one thing that would make it a real truck.

Nice Truck Ernie!!

I know what you mean about looking for the clutch!

Mike put a dent in my floor board when he was backing his trailer into his spot at Jackson Rancheria with my truck with automatic tranny!!

You get used to the wide fenders and pretty soon you will be driving it around like it was a VW bug!

Right now, I'm keeping my eyes on the door mirrors. So far, so good. But the clutch thing, I bounced my head once! But I bet I will get used to it when I get to Houston.

Thanks PaulandTammy. I'm getting used to the training wheels, and starting to get used to being "auto-impaired"

Actually I like it.
Thanks everyone else too.

When I broke down 35 miles from the California rally Don came and saved me from the side of the road. I backed in the trailer with his auto and was stomping on the floor trying to find the clutch.

Oh I know, I did the same thing when I went to an automatic. The other thing I would do is instinctively reach with my right hand for the gear shift. Pulling the trailer is way to easy now.
