nothing wrong with an auto at all, i drive an auto civic.
Sorry about your knee. Was the surgery recent?
My dad got into an accident 15 years ago, he was riding his harley davidson and a drunk driver in a van ran him over, it tore off most of his left leg, They had to pull out some muscle from other parts of the leg to wrap it around the knee and onto the leg to hold it together and then litterally screwed his lower leg in place. It's 2 inches shorter than it used to be and hes 60 years old now. He pretty much cant reach the pedals anyways, lmao.
But man, im truly sorry about your knee, i know how that can mess with people and their futures. And i do hope that in the end you'll be able to drive whatever car you want, manual, automatic, and do whatever the f**k you want w/o having to worry about your knee.
BTW i am really liking that color, man. f**king awesome. daaamn...daaayyum. Not just the color too, everything else is clean and makes shiny stuff look dull.
