Nope, it is Auto. It was my great uncles truck before he became very sick. He is in his 80's.
I think she fears the hills. Also in L.A., an Auto is much nicer to have. Luckily my commute is easy. I go the opposite way of traffic. But I have had the commute of an 1 and a half in stop and go traffic before with a manual, and it sucks. If I had that kind of commute not, I may have odpted for manual on the Mustang.
