Sorry guys, I can't jump on that band wagon. While I understand Steve's want for an auto for competition reasons, the only vehicles I don't want in a manual are trucks and vans. Even trucks I could live with a manual, though it depends on the application (towing and hauling I'd want an automatic). I hate the vague feeling during shifting, plus the off the line starts during daily driving annoy the crap out of me. To each his own.

I'm pretty stoked about getting my foot in the door of my dream career path!
I hate to sound like one of these old farts who give out advice but I know something about dreams. If you have a dream, grab hold of it and never let it go! I had a dream for finishing a second career. When I had a heart attack and my heart basically blew up and my brain short-circuited in august, it was one of the main things that kept me alive and functioning.

Congrats HT. look into weaverville and wood fin area outside of Asheville. Not a bad place, close to DT and still some what cheap. I lived in Weaverville for a while. I still have family in Asheville. I love driving through the tunnel road tunnel.

Im with you guys on the dreams. You always have to have a dreams and goals in life or you will never know what paths to take. Goals are what brought me to working overseas and they are getting closer to being completed. About time to set some new ones.

I'm completely the other way around, I would NOT want a truck that does not have a manual transmission as an option. And they do need to tighten up the auto, it's my only complaint with it.

Congrats Hunter!

I was out and about today and saw an "Elite Stangs Mustang Club" sticker on a Shelby and looked them up. They have a NC Chapter.
I thought about inviting them to join us for the next Lenoir. Everybody OK with that?

May 25th, Greenville, SC 8:00 am . . .
Morning breakfast meeting . . .
I am planning (again) to be there with my 2014 GT/CS, weather permitting.
Looking forward to meeting some "seasoned" Mustang owners.
