I've only driven an automatic once and that was years ago. Thought it was a POS but they've probably been improved since then. I've kept one truck just for shits and giggles (I'm retired) and it has an 18 speed. I'm in Alaska so need as many gears as you can get for the Haul road and the Alcan. Need as much of everything that you can get, actually.
PS. My screen name is taken from "Turnagain Bay", a bay off the Cook Inlet.
How do you like it in Alaska?
It has it's good and bad points. Winters are a drag. Well, at least for me since I don't snowmobile or ski. Summers are great but don't last long enough. Used to run the Haul road during winters but too damn old for that now. Have thought about relocating but the coast is just one giant shithole and I don't particularly care for Texas. The midwest is boring and the South if full of niggers so it looks like I'll just put up with the winters.
That's why I asked. When the kids are grown, I'm convincing the wife to move. I was looking at south dakota, but I hadn't thought about Alaska. I'm currently in the south.
