[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2572373, member: 7157"] Back in 2001, I was looking for a new Ford pickup, but I could not find a F150 with a V8, manual transmission, and leather interior - the latter pretty much dictated that I get an upgraded package including an automatic transmission. I had several salespeople, and one sales manager, give me a puzzled look when I told them what I wanted. "Why would you want a manual transmission with an upgraded interior??" was the common cry. Having no luck, I moved up to the F250 and got a nice combo of manual, V10, and 4x4 with leather seats and rubber floors. Perfect! The only problem was the gas mileage; averaging 14 mpg spelled the end of that vehicle's stay with me after a couple years. Pity that the overwhelming majority of the driving populace today would rather have a slush box. [/QUOTE]
