Wife flipped her car last night, now looking at the Camaro (Pix of wreck inside)

I have been a member here for quite some time and was looking at getting a Camaro in a few years. Now that the wife flipped her SUV last night it looks like we are in the car market a little earlier. Considering the Challenger RT as well.

The wife really likes my modded C6 Corvette and this maybe a good garage mate..

Question: On Chevrolets website it states that the SS starts at 31K? Is that true? Seems low. Also, if we order one any idea on how long. I have had a few dealers tell me no markup either.

I hope she is ok. The 1SS does start at $31k and it will really depend on the dealer as to what markup if any. Shop around. Look at the MSRP or lower thread on here and find a dealer that won't mark it up. Good luck.

She is fine..

Story:
She was driving on this road (very back road) leaving our horses. While she was driving a fly hit her directly in the eye. While she was rubbing her eye she ran over something in the road (a lot of wild pigs and animals cross this road) and she lost control around 50mph. Over corrected and went into the ditch. She hit a guide wire for the telephone pole which caught the front left tire and flipped the car.

She called me and I showed up with the cop. Very cool cop, no tickets issued. On a side note..she is having a VERY tough month...she got kicked in the head/face 2 weeks ago by our horse...

Geez! I am thinking whatever car you get you may also want to get her a helmet to wear. Glad she is ok.
