Well... Today I have decided...
I am going for it....after all..
I want one, and I will have one.
The first day I heard that the camaro would return, I knew that I would have to have one. I have had 7 first gens, and 2 second gens, and 3 third gens, and 1 fourth gen. I will have a 5th gen too, but this time, when it comes out.
I had at first decided against the idea 1 year ago when I had originally decided that the new camaro would be another gas gussler. With the soring prices of gas going up, I decided to go diesel. But WTF?? Diesel right now is $4 a gallon and climbing... Don't get me wrong.. I love my Jetta TDI special ed. It gets a boasting 42 mpg avge in the city alone and up to 500 miles a tank. I sold my 68 camaro due to the fact that it costs way too much to drive (partially due to the 462 CI big block) even to drive one day to work.
So, I gave it the boot, and bought me a new harley and paid cash for it.
But, my roots as you can see are truely camaro.
I had my first camaro and the age of 16. It was a RS. I paid $400 for it, and to this day, I can not get "camaro" out of my system. I have tried obviously with no success. How many FBODY's have I had? Let's count em.
13! Wow! 13...Thats if I did not miss one.
I want the 5th gen. I have just shy of 11 months starting to day to plan for one. I have made it a goal for sometime next year around this same time next year to be drivin one.
Sacrifices:
To acheive this goal, I will
have to
1. Sell my 06 Jetta TDI and get my equity out of it (about 4k.)
The key hear is finding the right time to sell it being diesel is going up, not down.
2. I may have to sell my 07 aniversary HD sporster I paid cash for (about 9k there)
With that being said, that would give me about 13k in collateral, give or take.
The key being knowing when and when not to sale.
3. I will have to buy something to drive until next year, which cuts into my collateral.
So, what sacrifice if any will you guys have to make.
I make 30k a year, so no, I am not rich by any token of the word.
