Subject: E-mail List: Manual Transmission Advocate


Fellow Sporting Drivers: For several years now and have noted a worrisome trend in the North American Automobile marketplace: We are losing the manual transmission option in new cars. I have noted several references, in the news media, to the notion that shifting your own gears is superfluous in new cars in 1999. I do not agree and believe there may be quite a few others who still want the option to shift their own gears in new cars. To test this proposition, I have created a new E-mail list: Shift_drivenopsamist.com If you are frustrated by the lack of manual transmission availability for your favorite new car, please consider joining this list to participate in more focused discussion of what we might do (if enough of us participate!) about his trend. I will be soliciting other marque oriented newsgroups and E-mail lists for this group as well, and if like the idea or know someone who does, please have them sign up at http://www.onelist.com This list will be a forum for petitioning the car makers, discussion and letting the car writers of North America know that there is still a viable market for manually shifted cars, even in the luxury and sedan ends of the market. If you are interested enough to have read this far into this message, please join us? Thank you! Chris Holliday Shift_drive list moderator
