    Move to Las Vegas. They may not remove your restriction, but you sure will have a good time.

    I would think the Casinos are the ones, really having a good time.
    Everybody else just thinks they are (having a good time).

    Sure there are some but better to start on 10-speed and move on into an auto.

    If you're gonna haul over any hill anywhere out of the city I'd definitely want a stick. I can see the use of automatics...but not for OTR in my opinion.

    Are you serious? If I could choose I'd have a 6 x 4, second would be 18. Automatics are for weeeenies:p

    At the rate auto drive lines are being torn up, it's hard to believe manuals will be going anywhere for a long while.

    We have gotten rid of two for that reason, and Taylor bought quite a few and O/Os about went broke with same problem. So, not completely backwards in my experience around them.

    I have heard of the old 6 x 4's but never seen one in person. Would love to give one a go. My dad was telling me the first truck he ever ran had an 18 or 15 and 3 or something crazy like that.
