Speaking of hating me, do you need/want my Spohn parts?

I haven't checked in for a few days.......congrats

Sorry about the car, it was one of the best 5th gens out there.
But an agreed value ins. would have saved you all the hassle. I have an agreed value on my vette through Progressive. And I would think most ins. companys would do it if asked. Sure it cost a little more, but worth it if the car is totaled, even if it's only like $5,000 in mods. $15,000 - $20,000 + in mods and your just asking for trouble without an agreed value insurance.

congrats. I hope the contributions helped.

I'm glad to hear you got a ZL1, that is awesome! Congrats! Are you planning on modding it to the extent like you did with Kaylee?

So I talked to Becky, she still had a couple 2013 camaros let on her lot. One of them being a 2013 black 1LE with Nav and the NPP exhaust. Which - was basically perfect, except for being black. This got me thinking......could I swing ordering a 2014 and just doing a long term financing plan? Becky helped me crunch the numbers, and while it'll be very very tight - it's doable.

So without further ado - I have an order placed with Becky for a.....

.....2014.......

.....Ashen Gray Metallic......

......ZL1

Congrats !

And sorry for your old beautiful black camaro which burned

And very funny!

Make sure it's an ABC rated fire extinguisher - the wrong type of fire extinguisher can make the smallest fire into a much bigger problem.

Also............anyone ever get really excited about something? Your so pumped about whatever it is that you just keep going and going - eventually settling back down and giving your brian time to process what you just did?

Kind of where I am right now.

I stayed awake nights pouring over DIY threads and crusin supplier's sites waiting for my 1LE to be built... and this is my third fifth gen.

haha, well I know we've all done that. But that's not exactly what I was referring to.....

I keep a budget, and 99% of the time I'm honestly pretty good about it checking if something works with my budget before , well I wasn't so good about it when I was talking to Becky. Now that the adrenaline has kind of worn off, and I'm actually crunching the numbers instead of just telling myself they are going to work - I'm going to have to sit down with Becky and retool what I'm going to do.

In my defense - I'm not the first guy to not use his brain when thinking about cars.

Edit: and for those of you who are curious, yes it was the fire extinguisher that's causing me to be over budget.
