During my 2009 deployment to Iraq my lovely wife said she would like a 2010 Camaro. I promised to see what we could do upon my return. Shortly after I got back I found out I was 6 months away from ANOTHER deployment. We decided we'd sell her 1 year old Mazda CX-7 right before I left and she could drive my 2007 Avalanche LTZ until we got her 2011 Camaro after that deployment.
I negotiated completely by email while deployed (boy was that a pain in the....). We made our deal and ordered September 7th for delivery just before my return. Well, they were much quicker than we expected. We had a production week of 10/18/10 and it arrived November 5th. It took them a couple of weeks for the dealer installed mods and she picked it up November 20th. I returned on December 10th with my beautiful wife picking me up in an awesome car. What a great return!
