Default Maybe.....

As you all know (because those who know us I have told loudly) Jacquie does not drive a manual very well. Tonight I was showing her the CTS-V on the internet. She likes it!!!! So, the first step is to for her to get comfortable driving a stick (anyone care to donate a car?). Then we might go look at one and take it for a spin. I would love to have two LS6 cars in the garage. If I can pull that off, to hell with modding the Z (for now anyway). How cool would that be???

I think she should get comfortable driving Sardog's car... that's gotta be an easy one to learn on.

My wife drives a stick shift (most every day to work), those other humans called women can learn.

Besides, that is why newer cars have warranties, to learn. What is money for, to spend.

My wife used to drive my car once in a while... but now that the modfest has kicked into high gear, she's afraid to drive it.

Shure i will let her drive it. If she can get it out of the driveway i will buy her that caddie.

Let my old girl drive it one before the heads and weight mods........staled it out six times in a row on flat ground, and she knew how to drive a stick.

Just let me know, always up for a good show, hell for all i know she could climb in put it in the tens.

You know that would take over 100 lbs out of the car............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................

Please, she scares me in her Jeep. One trip in your car and she would swear off cars forever. I can't have that cause I would have to take the kids and they would have to ride in my trunk (don't want them to get the seat dirty).
