Should I buy an automatic?

You should check with your insurance company - not necessarily your agent - because when I bought mine they had informed me that new car purchases are automatically covered under my existing policy for a period of 15 days. So when I purchased it, I was covered without the insurance co. having any details on the car. I thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks! My insurance company's hours are Monday - Friday, so I can't confirm if that applies to me. (They do have a 24 hour claim number.)

Each state is different on coverage. In NY, you have to have insurance on vehicle in order to put registration/plates on it. Get temp. reg for window until permanent one comes...but insurance is a must.
Perhaps you had dealer plates for a while?
