…of clutch & shifters!

We gave our automatic 2018 Mazda CX5 to our daughter when she graduated from college in 2021 so she wouldn’t have to buy a new car when they were crazy expensive.

We kept the 2006 Honda with 250,000 miles because I love a manual transmission and she’s still reliable for a weekend trip from Phoenix to LA.

You’re a good Uncle!
