test drive - comparing automatic L to manual SE

[cathycnm]

Oh the weight loss - I guess it depends of repetitions. Sprained my knee badly once. Had to rent an automatic for a month! When I first started driving the clutch again, it felt like bench pressing a lot of weight. As for walking, yes, agree. I do that the 3 days/ wk that I don't have a 120 mile round trip. I get the best mileage w tennis shoes and no waiting 5 weeks for them to get here from LA! However, a lot of local drivers seem to not understand pedestrian laws. I pay attention! I don't have 9 air bags.

I took you to mean ( with your previous post) that people who do for themselves rather than having it done for them (re shifting) might tend to extend that to other areas of life (like maintaining weight.....which is much easier in areas that don't have extreme summers or inclement winters...or both).
