Heavy Chevy 2013 VR 1LT RS

Here is the back story:
My wife and I were sitting on our back deck enjoying a 2013 early Summer day in Michigan, while our kids play in the back yard.
Some how our talks turned to finances, and the amount of money I had been spending on gas. At the time I was driving a 2011 Silverado LTZ, which replaced my 2008 Impala SS. Both the Impala and Silverado had the 5.3L V8 with active fuel management but only averaged 16 miles per gallon. I drive 30-35,000 miles a year for work, she rattled off some numbers on how much we would save if I were to get a "car" to drive during the months that the weather permitted. So to appease her I shot up to the local Chevy dealership just to browse, come home and enjoy the rest of my day.
When I got there they were just unloading some cars from the trailer. I didn't pay that much attention to what they were but did notice something red in the middle of mostly white and silver cars. I spent about a half an hour talking to the salesman (who is a friend of my family) about cars and MPG. He wanted me to take a look at the Malibu, I reluctantly said sure I'll look. As we were walking outside they were pulling a 2013 1LT Victory Red Camaro RS on to the concrete display pad in front of the dealership, I thought to myself "she did say get a car"! Two hours later I pulled into our drive way.
