Stick shift



As you know my car is acting up more and more, the latest is it has a new electrical mystery, you never know if it will crank. The battery is fresh, 6 months old, but randomly something drains it out over night. Try to find that easily.

So yesterday I went and looked at 2 different cars, a Volkswagen Rabbit and a Saturn Astra. Priced about the same and the Rabbit came out on top. See, I want a stick shift not a automatic transmission. The rabbit no problem, the Saturn a different song. We can find you one if you like they said (they had one on the lot out of 30 and I could not try it due to their mechanic had to fix something). I said OK, find it. There is one available in Illinois and it will cost $620 to get it here.

So I thought about it, looked at the cars they had and decided maybe I just get this one instead. They want 1350$ extra for automatic and it also had a 620$ destination charge on it. I said, explain why I would pay 620$ when it is here in the lot? No good logic came out of them so they can keep the darn car.

So I will search some more and I am disappointed with the Saturn way of business, they do have a spiffy little car.
