Its official...

I will be giving my 2010 2SS Camaro Rally Yellow 6 speed manual to my wife and then I will be getting a ZL1. Probably stick with Rally Yellow.

Downside to this... I have to teach her to drive a manual transmission... Last time she tried to learn she gave up after her first time stalling out... Or at least thats what she tells me...

Oh and this is not an April fools prank by her... I hope...
Regardless I am stoked...

I learned how to drive a manual in a 70's model pickup truck, anybody remember the "3 on the tree" AKA zero to 60 in about 6 miles going down hill with a tail wind. And my dads voice in my ear. "you are burning my clutch", "why can't you start on a hill without drifting back", "I think you have 2 left feet" LOL

Last I checked the Zl1 only comes in a Manuel transmission but great choices in colors

lol... I am a little young for the "3 on the tree" but some guys talk about it at work... I learned on a 93' Ford Ranger EXT... That truck was the biggest piece of crap ever... probably why I will never own a ford...
