That's one hell of a woman.
Not only no power steering but I'd imagine no power brakes and it's a standard transmission.
That's not easy driving for anybody.

Heck, you could have also put this in the PT/H2H forum.
She IS driving a manual transmission after all.

Sweet.
Reminds me of when I was a kid in the mid '70s. There was a somewhat senile old widow who used to drive a beautiful '55 Chevy to church every Sunday.

Hey!
Maybe she was senile because she refused to jumpstart their Ford.

Ah, I'm gonna have to say, she's smart enough to know, that she'd rather be seen pushing a Ford than ridding/driving a Chevy.

She used to honk loudly and wave to everyone as she pulled into the parking lot.

I have no dog in this fight. I had a '67 Mustang and an '82 Camaro.
BTW, Shawn, you may bump into the Camaro someday. My son drives it to Drill at Buckley every month.
