Re: Manual or Automatic in Canada?
We had one on the Jag we had - because it was a British car, we only had the jag for a bit, it's now buried in the garage somewhere - you might see this spitfire around town in the next few weeks though, thinking of getting it on the road for Rockin' Red Deer this coming weekend, we had registered two different cars for the event but other things have got in the way and they are not quite ready...Again teh Union Jack is on it as it's a brit car and it was easier than respraying the boot lid after a temporary repair whilst we located a new old boot lid.

I think literally everyone has forgotten what hyperbole is.

$50m? I'd take a helicopter wherever I was going
LA traffic is no worse than the GTA really.

I think GTA is worse than LA - outside of peak rush hour never really had much of a problem.
LA is a fantastic city - I really love Huntington Beach and Anaheim (I know but its part of LA metro) If it were in Canada I would be living there already

Your missing what I said: If it meant that I had to live and drive in LA and the surrounding area then no I wouldn't want the money, I really wouldn't life would just be too miserable. If I only had to spend a week a year and fly in by helicopter and not travel on the roads then yes maybe.

Oh and we have experienced the GTA for about the same amount of time as LA - just vacation and I would return to GTA but I never want to go to Southern California again.
The one day we discussed going to Anaheim (we stopped with the idea after we had got as far as Newport as we were fed up with the traffic - Mini's do get uncomfortable) there were protests/riots so I think we had a lucky escape.

Re: Manual or Automatic in Canada?
What would you prefer, a car with AC but a quite basic interior, or a car with no AC (and black colour
), but with cruise control, USB connector, Sirius satellite radio, steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
The rest of the features are more or less the same. In MB.
I am voting for the AC, my OH prefers the other one...
Will it be very difficult to sell a car with manual transmission? and with no AC?
