My Mother

.. good god.

The self proclaimed "Camaro Queen" who knows her Camaros and "knows her shit", "knows what's hot" and apparently knows the evils of manual Camaros got into a heated argument with yours truly over the following..

Manual transmissions are the devil! NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS! (She's yelling at me right now for writing this because she KNOWS I'm doing it)

Why?

1979-81 Dodge Omni (New, bought it because it was "cute")

Manual Transmission

Washington Ave, Elyria, Ohio.

Dump Truck..

Yeah, see the problem? A Dodge Omni that couldn't get out of it's own way to save it's arse was what turned my mother, the self proclaimed "Queen of Camaros" away from manual transmissions. Not even on a Camaro.

So she challenges me just now, 3AM, Washington Ave Elyria Ohio, dead of winter to drive the M6 around there to "prove her point." Christ on a bike..=_=

I've driven Number 3 all around with a manual. You might show her the "cruising" video posted of that car.

Or you could show her the more recent post of the SS video, also a manual.

Perhaps, and maybe this is not a good direction to pursue, you might suggest to her that it is merely a matter of ...................... skill?????

That is unless she is questioning your skills?

Either way piece of cake.

Oh I have, all three in fact. She wonders why you didn't request an automatic. And, mind you..this was all started by some POS Dodge Omni. Still getting the M6, but I thought I'd share the comedic evening Camaro arguments that seem to be..a nightly thing now.

I enjoy it, don't get me wrong. I'm actually hoarse from laughing so hard to be honest..
