It's a 6 speed auto GT ... don't tell her, but the first time I took it out I was using the + - shifter on the console... red lined in first, pushed the shifter back quick (+), red lined in second, pushed the shift forward and to the right out of habit! Freaking thing went into park at 60+! ... I freaked! I couldn't get it out, nothing like cruising down the road in park! I decelerated to the side and let it stop by itself... all was well...

Thanx everyone. I got a GMC extended cab long box truck at the same time (2 for 1 sale kinda) to do trade shows and pull our camper trailer, but I don't think you guys care about my truck...

It's my wife's car, a present for all the hard work she does with our online business. She loves the attention she gets when she's on the road in it. Just ordered a spoiler from ebay and a tape on chrome gas cap so she can attract more looks from the boys in town (I'm 15 years older than her)
