Trust me man, everybody is going through this! My camaro fund is gone! GONE! The job that I have now is just not paying enough, i mean it pays the bills and that is it! But you know when I talk to people about it I realize that I am not the only one. I can't find a job for sh!t and neither can anybody else I know. I'm gonna have to get a second part time job so I can start buying toys again. I have not bought something for myself for several months now. I'm losing my mind.

At my current financial state, no..:( BUT Things will soon change. Either one I'm gonna get a second job, or two I'm gonna find one good one.

Money problems aside, at the moment my depression about the interior of the camaro is too overwhelming for me to buy one. GM missed me on the interior, BIG TIME! I just don't like it. It will take an amazing test drive to probably bring me back. I'm serious, A test drive could probably bring me back around.

Sadly at the moment after sitting in the car for the fourth separate time at the chicago auto show I just don't like the looks of the interior.(my decision has nothing to do with the fit and finish of the interior so don't tell me, "well that interior is not production" cause I am more than aware of that. I am going by only the look of the interior.) The style is not my taste. And the half assed ABL was the final straw, It was the only thing holding me to the car. And GM only gave me the doors. :bangdesk:

I am leaning heavy towards a used corvette right now. It has everything that I want in the car. HUD, smart keys, pushbutton start, nav screen, LS3, and damn good looks. I think I can get a nav screen with the standard C6, gonna have to look that up. The problem is I can't find a Black C6 with a targa top anywhere near me with a manual tranny in it. All of them that I find have automatics in them.Gonna have to make a drive to get this car

Either way I won't be buying my car for at least a year which means my plans are still the same as they were 6 months ago. I was shooting for a 2011 camaro anyways, so who knows maybe the rest of the ABL will get finished or a HUD available(most likely not), or something along the lines of what I want. I keep trying to tell myself that the interior doesn't matter, and it is all about the exterior. The problem is that I have to see the interior every tme I get into the car, and if I don't like it it will bug me for as long as I own the car.

Sorry guys, but GM is losing me ever so slowly on the camaro. Of course I was 50/50 on what I wanted when I came to this website anyways so, take that however you want to
