Tony,

Yep, it's an AOD. I messed up my left leg a few times, so a manual wasn't an option if I wanted to drive a Cobra.

I do try to be cautious on the neighborhood streets because there are a lot of young kids in the area. I even "sort of stop" at most of the stop signs (unlike some of us here).

You'll notice that I did wind it up a little bit once I got to the 4-lane.

Also, I didn't make a whole lot of friends in the general area by testing my rear tires' contact patch doing burnouts in the driveway a few times. One lady said the tires squealing (not the engine) scared her and asked if I would please not do it anymore. She lives about 500 yards away as the crow flies. She's cute, so no more burnouts in the driveway.

At least I have "the sticker" on the back of the Cherokee in my driveway.
