Here in the real world....you purchase your ticket and then go wait in line. When the line starts moving, you advance further toward the front until you ARE the front of the line. Ticket bought in order, wait in order, product delivered in order. That's the only damn way it should be....period.
But oh wait a minute.....I'm not living in the real world here with GM and the Camaro am I? I forgot that part. This is the world where I bought my ticket and keep getting shuffled backward in the line b/c of the dealer cars (which is nothing more than a gouging racket), oh I must move backward again, this time for the rental cars, and don't look now, here come all of these Johnny-come-latelys who just now showed up to purchase their ticket while I've been standing in line since October, and they are walking out with popcorn and a valet who's on his way to deliver their car.
So now I've found myself close to the very end of the line, and why exactly? B/c of very poor customer service which is BAD BUSINESS! Come on GM, wtf are you thinking?
When (and I hate to say this) or IF I choose to keep waiting and the Camaro is FINALLY delivered, and then I'm out driving one day and run into another new Camaro owner and the guy says "When did you order?" and I say "Two days after you COULD order" and then the guy spouts off "I ordered in April and got my car in June-July", I will want to melt his two lips together with my fist.
Not only will all the Johnny-come-latelys embarass the pre-order people, it SHOULD embarass GM.
Now tell me again why I pre-ordered?
