I have had it already of people keep discouraging me from buying American! What's up with these people?! When I first bought my 94 Camaro...people gave me crap about buying a used American sports car. They told me it would not go past 180k miles...wooptidoo...I'm at 223k miles and running strong! It don't look pretty now like when I bought it...but it's my baby!
And the word is going around the people I know that I'm waiting for my Camaro...and people are giving me crap again. They tell me American cars are not reliable, the first model is always crap, that I should wait for more options later on, etc.
They tell me to buy a Japanese car instead too...or German...
. I know I posted a thread earlier about getting a Subaru...but that would NOT be my car...I only drive American...the wife drives an Accord...but that is HER car.
Now another co-worker this morning brought up the bankrupt GM and how crappy they are now and told me to get a G37 or a Boxster instead...WTF?
And then he changes it to I should enjoy my young life instead of having a car payment and use the $500 I was gonna spend a month to go out and travel...listen here...I got married at 20...if anyone knows anything about not enjoying their 20s it's me...but you know what...I LOVE BEING MARRIED! I don't regret a single bit! And I prefer road trips over flying...so does the wife...what a perfect way to road trip in a 29MPG...300HP sports car!
If I would have said I was gonna get a Toyota Corolla...I bet no one would give me a hard time!

I'd like to add that my close friends (the few that I consider REAL friends) and MY parents are excited for me. Everyone else aren't.
...Those are just SOME of the excuses I get from people...
