But, I've never understood why they don't want to (they're not even wealthy... just regular ol' blue collar types!).

Not me... I gotta spend lots of quality time with the car, more than just driving it. I guess the washing, waxing, and detailing is the cuddling part of the relationship.
Some ppl just prefer to let ppl that are better at things do them, instead of themselves.

Its not worth my free time to wash, wax clay bar, polish, and all that jazz. Id rather pay someone $100 bucks to do it better than i can. If it were to take me more than 2 hours, its cheaper to pay someone anyway....

As someone who has sat in lots of different cars over the last 2 years, I can honestly say that it obvious you haven't.

Most new cars I have sat in that are not over 5 years old in design are much nicer amenities than the Camaro and this list includes a middle end Cruz. 25K cars on the market will 95 percent of the time have a nicer interior quality than the Camaro.

Im glad so many of you are satisfied with how it is. Try not to suggest that a go fast car needs to be limited. Otherwise you should opt for non power windows an so on.

Same here, I've DDed my TA for the last 6 years. The Camaro interior great compared to how worn down the TA's has become. The only thing I hate on the Camaro is the auto dimming mirror, I find that it doesn't dim until a car is right up behind me. I wish it would just stay dim when it's dark out, or just let me control it like older cars.
