No young people who own a Camaro?

[DARK AGE 53]

I'm 65 and still waiting to grow up, I bought my first performance car back in 1968 ( I was 21 then ) and I'm still into cars.

I'm 19 and just bought my zl1 2 weeks ago and you wouldn't believe how much crap I've gotten from older people already

I won't be offended at being called an "old guy" (which I am) if you won't be offended by me pointing out that you can't even spell "offense" correctly.

Give it time and a few more chances.

I suspect you are still looking at 40-somethings and older as authority figures rather than as equals.

I'm positive that it works the other way as well, and never quite goes away. My kids are 40, give/take a couple of years, and there are still times when I think of them as "the kids" even though they've been adults or nearly so for as long as you've been alive. But mostly it's adult - adult rather than parent-child.

Having a common interest in Camaros (or at least cars in general) might be one of the better ways to get through the transition period to where you can look at people who are a generation or two older than yourself on an equal footing.

I'm having the pleasure of watching my 16 y/o granddaughter grow into her adult personality and see her self-confidence build through various life experiences. Took her out for learner's permit practice driving in our Mazda 626 yesterday, watched her struggle a bit with the clutch, and later on got to hear her say that it was still more fun than practicing in her Mom's car. A good day on both sides of the age thing.

My parents would have called what you went through a case of "growing pains".

so your in favor of discriminating against ole folks.....LOL. I get plenty of young people saying they wish they could get a camaro. usually the ole folks have the means to buy the camaros more readily while the young'ns have to rely on the ole folks financial help in a lot of cases to get in to a camaro.

Yes lol my thread they locked.

Got a grammar Nazi up in here just looking to bash me with anything you could huh? So you decided to choose ones grammar. I'm not sure if you've noticed... But there's many people around here who have worse grammar than me. (No OFFENSE)
