Hello everyone,
I've been prowling the forums for a few days now and it seems like a friendly place to discuss the love of driving stick shift.
I live in New York and drive a little 5-speed Ford Contour. It's my first car and so far has served me well.
Only thing that's been bugging me is something in the rear right brake needs to be adjusted. Every once and awhile it makes a clicking noise that drives me insane. Made an appointment to get fixed Thursday thankfully.

Specifically Rochester. Hoping to move out of this city and possibly downstate after college is done. The last straw with this city was the recent decision to take Opie and Anthony off the radio. This is a dying city!
Thanks to everyone else!

It's a 1999. 4 cylinder, not sure about any specifics deeper than that
. It's a little sewing machine and its effects are definitely felt on hills.
