Wow Mike:
I have manual Transmission evny for sure...
I surely miss not have a stick shift...
Of course with me being an amputee its impossible..
Reading your review:
Tells me its very enjoyable to not only drive, But to also appreciate its amenities!
The color is kick butt! I may just have to stop in at the local chevy dealer and take 1 for a ride to check out the comfort level of the seats..
also the ease of access to enter and exit... Much like you (But in a different way) As an amputee, getting in and out can be a real challenge for me with a lot of vehicles...especially some that my friends have..
I guess thats prolly why most times... I insist on driveing. At least with the Monte I have plenty of entry and exit room...specially since the doors open quite widely... allowing me to be able to spin out of the seat/sorta...since there leather...makes it even easier!

Thanks for shareing your experience .. I know youll enjoy it for many years to come.

I thought I was reading a car and driver review or something to that affect, very professional and well written. And thanks for the information... sometimes you get a car and wonder "Why did I do that?" This helps people aleve those fears.

Maybe you should throw you resume out to some car magazines....

I have really grown to like this car. I really have been stuck on the new Challenger because I like how it pays tribute to the old Challenger. And I think in that respect, Dodge hit the nail on the head with it better then Chevy did with the Camaro. Even thought Chevy didn't go that "retro" route they still did a very nice job of making a new generation Camaro. The new Camaro may not look like the older style but it is still a very very good looking car, especially the ZL1 haha. My next car will either be a Camaro or a Challenger, right now I think those are a couple of the nicest looking cars on the road.

I'm glad you really like the Camaro Mike.

But your "driving a lot" is still lame. LOL Go find more excuses to drive. hahaha
