Would love to get a manual, but gonna have to get an automatic. With me being in the military and my wife not knowing how, and doesn't want to learn how, to drive a stick, I am gonna need her to be able to drive it around once in a while if I get sent out of the country for an extended amount of time.

Automatic, traffic jams tend to take the fun out of shifting real quick.

I was having a delima with this. I wanted stick, but my wife does not know how to drive stick and does not want to learn. So I figured I would have to get auto until I talked her in to this great idea.

HIS & HER CAMARO's. Mine stick and hers auto. She really likes the 'vert and I want the 400+ whatever (SS / Z28 / shit kicker on wheels whatever you call it)
