Dude it's an automatic on the *right* side of the road. Just get a nice Charger for your rental. It's not that bad, if I can survive Makati/Tokyo/Detroit/Etc you can too.

It's mostly crisp and beautiful weather and gorgeous with the change of season. You're not afraid of a little rain from time to time, are you? ;-)
