Having e-known Fred for a few years now, if you were looking for a critical, pull no punches review of a car by someone knowledgeable, Fred's the man.

Oh, the 5-speed was the slickest shifting transmission I've experienced in a long time... And the clutch was perfect. Handled like a F1 car, and stopped on a dime.
It was a blast to drive. I definitely would go for the 5-speed if I were doing it again. __________________ 83 FJ60 Land Cruiser (The Rust Queen) -- undergoing frame off rebuild/ diesel conversion 03 4Runner SR5 4WD V8 |

Yes, fairly often. I have seen jerseys, shorts, pant, shoes, gloves and helmets. Maybe pedals or something like that once too...

May be fixed now, I dunno. Mine was the pearl white. We waited about 3 weeks to get that color -- no other would suffice. They had to locate the car and make arrangements to dealer trade it with some place in Southern Illinois. At the time, dealer trading them was difficult, since they were flying off the lot at the time. There was a shortage, and when the dealer got one, they had a tendency to hold onto it for dear life. The Pearl white was the only color that cost extra at the time, BTW. __________________ 83 FJ60 Land Cruiser (The Rust Queen) -- undergoing frame off rebuild/ diesel conversion 03 4Runner SR5 4WD V8 |

Unfortunately since this is Mrs. Cube's decision, it will be the tiptronic style automatic

Pretty much. It's the height that's more of a concern.

1) I liked the car, a lot. 2) It had to be a manual gearbox 3) It had to be Pearl White. Even Katie agreed that the Manual was a far superior driving experience, and she's not as big a fan of manuals. (I had to teach her to drive a stick shift when we bought the Jetta TDI) Maybe have Mrs. Cube give the manual a shot... the difference it makes in the fun-to-drive category is amazing. __________________ 83 FJ60 Land Cruiser (The Rust Queen) -- undergoing frame off rebuild/ diesel conversion 03 4Runner SR5 4WD V8 |

Dig it out and compare and you be the judge. Do you have a grinder? Grinding just before brewing is the single best thing you can do after having freshly roasted beans...

Ha...yeah probably too much. That is a BIG pack for extended trips. The one we have for ours is not quite that big, and its still got plenty of volume for anything we'd put in there. What about the Moon-Dawg?

Most American drip machines make crappy coffee because they don't get the water hot enough...ideal water temp is 195 to 205 ° F in the grounds basket.
