20V tq as first car?

[Shayne]

I just responded to Taka saying I may just have been a lucky guy to drive so
manny tranny Volvos.  My wifes grandma still has her 1986 740 manny tranny.

Maybe I am stick blessed.  The first 3 V8q I ever saw or drove were manny
trannys.  And, they were all in the same town.
