[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548196, member: 11791"] Those 5-speed manual transmissions? Around here, if you've got an "econo-box" car (small commuter, cheap on gas, low on both space and power)... the only way you're going anywhere in the winter is with a 5-speed manual. The automatics shift at the wrong places for winter driving, and you end up fishtailing... IF you can even get going. So... I drove a 5-speed for years. Otherwise? mostly seen in sports cars and hot trucks. As far as recess goes... around here, they are guaranteed an hour for lunch - of which they can only spend 20 minutes eating. Two 15-min recesses. And some schools are now scheduling shorter PE classes... daily. Because... kids need to MOVE. Yes, it is backed by research. [/QUOTE]
