I would probably get new plates, change the fluids, wash/wax the exterior, vacuum/detail the interior, and get in touch with someone who wouldn't do a hack job at swapping a manual trans back in... then I would drive him... every single day, everywhere, always. :blush: we would be best friends. I'ed beat him just the way he likes it, and he would carry me home after I was all tuckered out from a weekend on the trails... true love :daydream:
I'ed probably teach my wife how to drive manual in my rig so she could drive him too... lol there would be no "LEARNING to drive stick" in MY moby... :cheesy:
