READ FURTHER!
ahem..i mean..read further.  you cut that in the wrong place!..
what it sez is "the facts that the car has no airconditioning AND a 
leather interior create negative brain vibes!..the stick is the only
damn thing i'd buy the car for!!..but i like a/c(i live in Texas,
or used to...:)..and do not care to pay for leather that i don't
really seem to like..thus..the leather interior is another
negative along with lack of a/c..you just edited wrong :)..hmm..you
haven't been reading the thread on why americans can't seem to get
away from automatics, have you?..didn't think so! try it..could clear
up a little of your confuzion on my stand on sticks! :-)
