    Soon. Very Soon.

    But I have driven a Chevrolet Blazer. I hated it because it gave you this weird sense you would rollover and die in a burning pile of flames.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Manuals all the way. I've not driven too many cars, but the manuals have been:
    '82 Ford Courier ute (learnt to drive in it...)
    '85 BMW 323i
    '65 Mini Panelvan with no syncro to first... and then lost first gear entirely
    '96 Volvo 850R (current car)

    As for the ones that weren't my daily drivers...
    Daihatsu Sirion (three cylinders of POWAA!)
    An assortment of light trucks (mainly with stuffed syncros)
    Volvo S40 T4
    Old farm beaters...
    Crappy old Ford Laser

    I think that's about it.

    I can drive both auto and manual, but maybe i shouldve put just manual. I sometimes have the bad habit of trying to kick out the firewall whenever i get into an auto for the first time in a while.
