Biggest Regret of my life!! - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I can relate, 70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 and sold it right before I got married in 1981. I am still dreaming about it being out in my driveway. Get your ass back in a Camaro before too long. Jeep, bye bye !

If this is the biggest regret in life, you haven't done much living yet! Rest assured there are far greater regrets in life than selling a nice car.
I regret trading my 350z Roadster for the Camaro but I'll get over it!

I had a bright red 2001 WS6 Trans am that I loved dearly but everybody on the road drove like idiots around that car! Middle aged men in mini vans "racing" me and cutting me off! When I realized that it was the car it was sold and never had that issue with any other car. Perhaps if you were constantly getting pulled over, it's a sign..

Okay, more advice, from one who has been there: Don't let your emotion lead you into a dealer trap. If the dealer smells even a HINT of desperation on you, well, you'll find yourself signing papers on a ragged out salvage- titled hunk of fail that you paid three times Blue Book for.

Breathe deeply, take it slow. Don't let the dealer know that you WOULD cut off your left arm to get another Camaro. Let the dealer THINK that, eh, whatever, Camaro... take it or leave it. Yes, I'm telling you to lie through your teeth. Don't let the drool spill, don't let 'em see your heart racing. Just take it easy... slow and easy.

With much self- discipline, you WILL get the Camaro you want, and you won't pay a fortune by getting sucker punched by a conniving thief...

Yepper, live and learn they say. We all do things at times that we regret and for reasons we think make sense at that moment. My wife and I ordered a new 12' SS/RS 45th Anniversary in Jan 12' and had it about 6 months after taking delivery and traded it in. It didn't take long to figure out it was a "mistake" but at the time it made sense. Through that winter my wife and I discussed things and decided to order the 13' 1LE we have now. She placed the order in February 13' and took delivery that April. Lesson learned.........

If I ever traded my Camaro in, it's gonna be for another Camaro!!!

Invent1 · 04-15-2014, 06:30 PM

Yeah. The guy was offering nothing for my truck so I told him if he wants to make a deal to give me a call when he gives me the numbers I want. But I was looking at a red 2014 2ss and theres no way I will let this truck go for anything under 26k

Invent1 · 04-15-2014, 06:32 PM

And no I'm not in Ny5thgen.
