Actually, I drive a 5 speed 900 Turbo Saab but had BF's automatic truck since my fuel pump went the way of the DoDo bird Thursday at work and had to be towed to my LCS. I usually work on my own cars but this requires dropping the tank and I'm not too sure I can do all that!

Yes starting in BIG gears are hard! On my list of things to do before I die is drive a semi truck - not as a profession but just to "do it"!
