My DD Rubicon has a manual. I did have to order it that way though, as you will never find a Rubicon without an auto trans on a dealer lot.

interest in classic cars will go down for awhile, prices will fall .. then more people will be interested and be able to afford. Interest will then rise again and prices will rise again.

Anyone willing to bet there's a member of the original me generation posting criticism about millenials? That's some narcissism on narcissism violence right there.

The loss of our car culture is a terrible thing, but nothing compared to other losses this country will face in the hands of our upcoming self-centered and entitled generation.

You are talking about the baby boomers, right?
