The Exploder can't lay the hammer down to save it's life. And frankly, it's annoying the heck out of me. |

its a 5L with 180k miles, the only hammer left is in the trunk with my other tools, but she still runs and I still love her.

I won't be ordering until at least February, and that depends heavily on my contact up north.

I'll share an anecdote with you to get you even more anxious. I was going to a festival with my brother over the weekend in his 5th gen, and there was one parking spot left in a parking lot close to it, a minivan pulled in, and the man working at the lot (collecting money) made the toyota minivan leave so we could take the last spot. He was taking pictures of the camaro. So many stories like that, but I didn't know where to post it :p

Man concentrate on the school, then work your ass off. All of the finer things in life are worth the hard work but take your time, and pay your dues.
I did about 20 years of 12 hour days seven days a week. Now I have my own business, actually work more now. Now finally I can enjoy a few of the finer things in life. Also avoid the credit traps, the hell with working for a bank. I will also tell you later you will look back on all of this and realize these were pretty good times. Funny that way, but everything always works out for the best. It is only down the road we can see this. Good luck and hang in there! |

I feel your pain! I know my sig says I ordered May 27th, but that's the date that I paid the deposit to my dealership. Due to allocation, my order hasn't actually been placed with GM, so I am also missing muscle. Sold my 98 Z28 about a year ago and the only muscle I get now is from going to the gym...LOL.
It's so bad, I almost considered buying (gulp) a Nissan 370Z. My uncle is the internet mgr at a Nissan dealer here and I get great deals on Nissans. He has been urging me to drop the Camaro order and jump in a Z. Although tempted, I just can't do it. Granted, the 1/4, 0-60 acceleration, and 100-0 braking tests are within a 1/10 or so of the Camaro (and that's a 330hp V6 vs a 426hp V8), but I just don't consider the Z a muscle car. Even with exhaust...it just doesn't call out to me like the rumble of the Camaro. Not to mention that even before the redesigned 370Z (which is smaller in just about every dimension over the predecessor) I could barely wedge my 6ft 2in 250lb frame inside the thing without feeling clostrophobic! Then there is NO backseat! Granted, the Camaro rear seat is not meant for full size passengers, but my 10 year old boy will be just fine back there for a few years to come if the wife decides to tag along on a cruise or two. All that said, just be patient and don't so anything that you may regret or just for instant gratification. Some things are simply worth waiting for....

But if you're GIVING away that GTO.. I think I can make the jump up to Mt. Pleasant. I plan, though, on just spanning the payments 72 and paying it off as I go. It's going to be my car and with the way things are shaping up..coupes are going to be a staple of my garage post grad. Not Kids.. |

When I first read this title, I thought it said "A life without vehicular manslaughter (The Wait is Killing Me)"
