Another piece of our childhood is going away.....

I used to love driving a stick shift. But, about 10 years ago, my Knees had a Convention, and decided that they had had enough. 30 years of rowing the gears was enough. I was informed by them that I could drive stick or walk, but not both. My Primary Care Dr confirmed this this after some tests. So, it's been automatics, since then.  And, I'm still walking reasonably well, my knees are okay, so I'm happy.
