I just got rid of my champagne color 1996 Toyota Corolla in December, now I see cars just like it all over the place.

One thing I liked about it was the manual shift. I hadn't driven one of them for maybe 20 years, when I was looking for a 1977-1978 240D to buy.

It's fun, to shift again. You never forget how.
