- I guess it is not many Suburban with a stick shift out there, I have yet to find anyone - I think I know about the M35's - it is like a 7.5 tonn truck from GMC? - The norwigian army had a few of them, in most cases going back to the late 1940s - when it arived as part of the Marshallplan assistance - and was replased by newer trucks in the mid 1990s! - when the trucks was starting to be obsolute - and the reserve parts tending to be little difficult to get a hand on - but even then the Army had tonns of reserve parts to all its GMC trucks all the way up to when it was either scraped - or sold out of the country...
You have had a few ones - I have not - I tend to drive the cars untill it is nothing left :p - And have been withouth a car for some years now - but Im living near bus and trains - 4-5 minutes to the closest bus-stop and 15 minutes walk to the train station, and the bus goes to the train station - so I guess Im rather lucky even if I dosen't have a car... And if I need a car - I have a rental car option at Avis - who I have used a few times - and is a welcome customer there - even is on first name basis with some of them
That's good some still drive a standard transmission in the US also - but I think it is in the minority in US..
And the funy part - is that in Europe - more and more newer cars is automatic as it is seen as more easy to drive than a shift stick - somehing I would disagree with.... My fostermother drive a Subaru with automatic gear - nice enough to drive - even though she often laught at me when I drive it - mostly becouse I tend to try to get the gear when im into a cross section and so one... and is waiwing in the air
- But the car itself - is very comfortabel to drive.. Even with a automatic transmission..
