Auto boxes

[Robert Myers]

I'm afraid you're probably right, Ed.

A few years back one of our neighbors said to my wife, "Bob won't let you
drive the car, will he?".

My better half responded, "Huh?  Why not?"

He said, "He told me it had a manual transmission."

She said, "What's that have to do with it?"

His assumption was simply that because the car had a manual tranny that my
wife was unable to drive it.  :-(  This is my hotrod wife who sometimes
blows past obnoxious PITAs just out of annoyance.  The same one who got
stopped for speeding last week.  Also the same one who talked her way out
of a ticket at that time.  :-)
