My first post, and introduction. Knew what I was going to see before I clicked, not disappointed. Well done OP!

We bought a car for my daughter to have at college her last 2 years. It was a manual and although it took her a couple weeks to get proficient she learned and made the 5 hours trip many, many times without issue. Most of her friends at school did not have a car and would often ask to borrow it. "Can you drive a manual?" was her comeback and the answer always "No!". She said the looks when she told them were like she was a space alien. Pretty soon no one asked her anymore to borrow it, heh.

About me, basic guy who likes building and modifying things in metal and by circumstance have often made a tool or jig to finish up a project. Starting a new business and building some dedicated tooling for it and surprised to find a forum dedicated to that today. I joined 5 minutes later, behold the power of the interweb! I have a feeling I will be here quite a bit.......
