A Chevy Camaro owner in California has posted a story to an online enthusiast forum about an incident where he was apparently ticketed for driving his stock 2019 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE in Sport Mode. The law enforcement officer who issued the ticket was primarily concerned with the noise level of the factory exhaust system. The ticket involves setting an appointment with the local automotive referee, which the Camaro driver estimates costs $100, as well as a court date.

The pickup truck is synonymous with blue-collar Americans as a vehicle doing double duty as both a mode of transport and a means of carrying out hard work. The latter is a trait that would seem to perfectly line up with the concept of a manual gearbox, as both the pickup truck and the stick shift are signs that the operator is not afraid to put in the effort. The manual gearbox is simple, robust, and hard-working, as are America's pickups. So why, then, have their numbers dwindled?

This Mechanic Warns That Quick Oil Change Places Can Ruin Even the Best New Cars

Cars seem to get faster every year. As time goes on, automakers put more research and development into their cars, which leads to more power, efficiency, and space. Gone are the days when vehicles, mainly sedans, were solely used for getting from point A to B in a boring fashion. For example, even common cars like the Honda Civic have nearly 200 horsepower, can get up to 40 MPG, and can blow the doors off any car made just 25 years ago.
