Default New member 98 Cherokee, manual

Hey I just wanted to introduce myself before I start asking a bunch of questions. My name is Aaron and I live in Laporte, IN. Last night I bought a 1998 cherokee with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has 133,000 miles and seems to run like a tank. There are a few issues which I figured out on my journey home last night and the paint isn't as good as I thought but I'll leave those questions for the proper venue. Feeling a little buyers remorse right now because I paid a premium for the manual transmission, so feel free to reinforce my decision. The truck is mostly rust free except for some small spots by the screws for the roof rack.

Hi and welcome along, looks good I like the canoe also, or is it kayak?
Canoe I think, correct me if wrong.
Manual gearbox is in my opinion the best Auto too lazy unless you stop/start in a city.
