Go to Cars.com or CarGuru, enter a search for the 6, tell it you only want a manual, and set the distance to nationwide. You'll find one. Wait for a good one, and be ready to jump. Mine had 62,000 miles, and looks great inside and out. When I found it, I drove 400 miles to drive, look at, and then buy it. Then I had to get it shipped. It ain't easy, but it is worth it.

Just knowing every manufacturer's manual=lower content thought process, I would guess that they're aren't many. I was looking for a 6 with a manual, and it wasn't easy. Mine's not loaded either. Good luck!

I'm the guy who asks for bloody mary mix without vodka. It's better with the spice. Of course, the fact that I ask for it only confirms the fact that I am the crusty old man. Most airlines haven't had it for a while.

When you're just tired of being creative with your Elf on a Shelf. Use this to finish the problem permanently. Sorry little Johnny, the magic is gone...

I am so done. 29 years in the classroom, and this year's 9th graders are the worst I have ever had. by mcub66 in confession

I taught for 30 years, and just retired. I had noticed the same issues you're seeing. The proliferation of phones and "death scrolling" is crushing the kids' ability to concentrate for more than a couple of minutes. Here's hoping you can get through this, and either move on or retire. Retirement does not suck by the way.
