Mine started back in, I believe it was 2006 when I first saw the Camaro at the Detroit auto show. I just knew I had to have one, it has that power over you you know! Any way, I started saving every penny I could while I waited for GM to start producing them. Once my wife realized that I was in fact going to buy one and seen the money I had saved, she said that the only way I could get it would be to build her the addition to the house that she had wanted for some time. As much as I didn't want to part with the money I had saved for the down payment, I knew that she was right, we did need the bigger area. Sooooo, plan B came to play. I took ALL of the money (almost $20,000) and built the 20X20 new livingroom and redid the "old" livingroom into the "new" dining room and built a large deck around the new room. Most of the work was done by myself with some help from family and friends when I need the help. Unfortunantly for me, the housing market was down and once I got the house appraised it was only worth $14,000 more than before the addition was done. Any way, I did refinance the house to get back most of my down payment on the Camaro and both my wife and I are VERY HAPPY.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!
