before you call the dead idiots, perhaps you could check your facts - the

probably, but lawsuits don't bring back the dead. One advantage of driving
a standard transmission car is that there is almost nothing that can prevent
you from disconnecting the engine from the drive train - you have both a
clutch and a shift lever (and the skill to use them).
