I am thankful so far, my knees ankles and hips are still in good shape that I can still drive a manual. I've always had a ton of upper body strength so manual steering is no problem, especially as light as this little car is. I'm sure I can stand the extra caster. All I'm looking for is maybe 4 degrees max where the car sits now. It only has about 1.5 degrees now, but it doesn't really drive badly at all, although the front suspension is tired.
