RE: Auto tranny pedal
Anyone else find the angle of the accelerator pedal more comfortable on long
trips than the pedal in the stick shift?  When I went from my '85 4 speed to
my '90 automatic I had much less trouble with leg cramps (and my bad right
knee acting up) on long freeway drives.  (Minor problem now with a working
cruise control)
