wow, I gotcha on THAT one!

I was very sad to give up my old Dodge Colt Vista manual tranny... 'cause I'm a bit of a controlling type, and hated the way automatics shift themselves, especially during windy-road foothill driving... drove me bonkers.

but the numbness, combined with weakness, well, I could hardly tell my foot was on the pedal, PLUS, I couldn't hold the clutch in for an entire stoplight wait.

and my right arm started having trouble shifting... hand numbness and weakness.

so, I got a little Subaru Forrester with an automatic tranny... and managed to keep on driving for another three years thata-way.
