For my wife, the bigger the vehicle the better. I have a Dodge 2500 Cummins and she loves driving that. She has our SUV and is happy as a clam with it.
I'm old enough and been married long enough to know when it comes to women that size does matter. So I guess that I didn't surprise me to much that she didn't like the Si. She had called it a "Tin Can" at one time Unlike my Si we did shop around for the Camaro for about 3 months so I knew when we got it that she already loved it. On another note when I talked to her at work she told me that she took it by our insurance company. I guess that our rate dropped from the Si. I was almost certain that it would have gone up. 201hp to 400hp |

Correct, the manual transmission was never the issue. When we met years ago she owned a Toyota SR5 pickup with a manual.

Congrats on the new ride!!!
My boyfriend wants to drive mine and thinks we should change vehicles during the week....never going to happen, but he does at least ask, over and over again . I do let him drive on the weekends though.....sometimes. (and yes, some of us ladies can drive a manual) |

lol same here, my girl wouldn't dare drive it. Sometimes she'll come with me to run errands and she'll stay in the car while I run in and I tell her ''if the parking guy comes then move the car'' she always tells me '' I'd rather take the ticket then me potentially damaging the car by moving it ''

Ouch, and it was your day off!!!!
I woulda had to go and get it and leave hers.... My wife has ZERO desire to drive mine. Will drive it in the grocery store lot to pull up to pick up the groceries and that is all she has ever driven it.

Apparently you need exhaust for it. If you didnt realize its gone until you went down later.
