I think he lost it in the granny shift. He should’ve double-clutched.

Exactly, people who can’t drive stick tend to be pretty useless in a lot of situations.

I always find “Are you the kind of person I’d get on with enough that I want to place my life on the line, fighting criminals with you?” to be kind of cumbersome.

22" wheels... fucking ridiculous.

I don’t hate it.

THIS looks fantastic

Now I think you guys are just making stuff up to bicker about. The real question is will this car draw more VA police attention than the old version? And how easy is it to wreck one after you’ve been given the keys by GM for evaluation? Jalops want these points debated.
