Well Wes, when we first got married, the "chief" drove
my 1964, 4-speed Corvette Coupe to work..... I still
have both of them. She got her own Vette in about 1980
& owned a string of them thru the years. A couple of
years ago she finally settled down and got a Jeep
Grand Cherokee. BUT, she can still stir the gears with
the best of them... ALL of my cars have manual trannys
& she "borrows" one occasionally. She will look good
in a red Z06 ;-)
Ed (she'll have to pay for it too! Heck, I'm not gonna
go back to work!)
