| Anyone have an automatic car they can lend me?
I'm scheduled for clutch foot surgery in Sept and was hoping that someone would have a ratty, reliable car that they can lend me/lease reasonably while I recouperate in Sept and Oct. Doc won't let me use a clutch during the healing time and I don't own an auto tranny car.
Thanks for your consideration, Dan

| Dan, sorry to hear about your foot. Wish I could help, but we have three vehicles, all manuals.
P.S. Please tell me the foot surgery is not related to diabetes.

| Thanks. Frankly, it's to fix a broken bone that the first surgeon missed back in '03.

| Whew. That's good to know. If the time comes and you need some help in a pinch, just let me know. I live virtually next door and I understand what a pain in the ass is it not being able to use your foot. PM me if you want/need my phone number.

| Dan, hope you have a quick recovery. I'd offer up a car but all three of our vehicles are manuals.
Not offer up other member's vehicles..... but is Ross's 62 in the area. He might let you drive it for a bit. I bet its just sitting around waiting for someone to drive it. Just a thought.
Ross, I'm just taking some liberties with your personal belongings while your gone!

| I thought Ross's 62 was in North Carolina. Where is it now? Why was I not told? When can I drive it? | |

| Thanks a helluva lot, Brian. I may well take you up on that offer. Hopefully, an offer closer to me will come up. Thanks again.
