One of the things on my to do list was to rent a US. built convertible while I was visiting the USA, as this was probably the last trip there I set aside the last four days of a 25 day trip to do that. The car was a 2017 Camaro, nothing exotic just the V6 model. I really was surprised just how much inexpensive US cars have improved. This car looked good, had adequate performance for the price, it had brakes that worked well and on the roads out to Globe and Payson handled very well. It was a fun experience. The SS model would have been nice but the budget didn't stretch that far.
Unfortunately mid way through day three it could not decide which gear it should be using. This resulted in a dangerous situation as we were crossing two lanes of oncoming traffic, it dropped into neutral leaving us stranded sideways across the two lanes. It eventually had a change of heart and thumped into first where it decided to stay but at least we made it across before the oncoming traffic arrived.
