    Install a Transbrake and then sit back and watch the fun !!!! :rofl: . Today at my friend's shop I had my Camaro being worked on . He got into my Camaro and started it up and after a few minutes of it idling he motioned to me to walk over to him

    He asked me why it wouldn't go into reverse even with the shifter in reverse . I asked him did you push the transbrake button to engage reverse and it immediately went into reverse . He looked at me with an embarrassing smile then pulled it into his shop

    This was the button on the dash ....

    Is your Camaro old enough to be exempt from CA smog?

    Sorry, but I pictured that scene in The Terminator, where he smashes the window, gets in and smashes the ignition, glass falling off all over him, and gone. Just me. Carry on, Carry on.

    The law requiring all vehicles 1976 and newer to pass smog is so stupid!
