What can I say I just like the control of a stick shift, not relying on brakes purely.

Being able to shift is about being able to maintain just "that much" more control over whatever it is you're driving.
I hopped into an automatic van a little while back and wow...those brakes are touchy to me now.
Cheers

That does suck man. Ive never driven an auto in a big truck, but I can see how a manual would be alot better.

Speaking of the 300 I drove it to work and then took her out for a little boot, not a drop loss and clean as a whistle.
