profound effect...

i know these treads get old, especially for those of you that already have your Camaro.

anyway i just wanted to share my store.
so i was driving back to work from my house after lunch today after spending my lunch crunching numbers to figure out when i can sell my GTI and buy a Camaro. i pull on to the main road and what do i see about 1/4mile in front of me? silver SS with black stripes. at first i didn't know what i was looking at because it was so far away then the brake lights came on and i immediately knew what it was. any way i pulled along side to get a good look and give the driver the a but it was some old lady and she didn't even look over.this car looks great in pictures but in real life it is HOT it had a profound affect on me, i mean i really wanted a Camaro before but now that i have seen if i NEED this car!

i was under the impression the Chevy dealer by me closed considering the place is a ghost town but the dealer plate on the car had the name on it so i thought that was strange. now I'm reading these articles about GM not being able to produce enough... probably be a year before i can even get my hands on one :(

anyway still trying to figure out when i can sell my '06 GTI since i am underwater on that loan at the moment plus i don't know how easy getting a new loan would be either. i liked my GTI until it was rated #1 on some gay cars web site (cant find article from jalopnik). i decided i need more power and something that suits me a little better.

dream car = White with cyber gray stripes 2SS/RS 6sp no sunroof or cyber gray with no stripes would be fine.

i really cant find it. i was an article on jalopnik.com and i think autoblog.com did an article too.

trust me... they have seen the article. i have been on the vwvortex forum since 2004 when i bought my first GTI.

nothing against gay people, it just i am not so i figure a camaro ss is about as ungay of a car i could get right now.

Ok, I had to find the list to see for myself, because my coworker has a GTI. I wanted to rag on him... but you are right, its the rabbit, and the GTI is not a rabbit. Here is a link for those "curious" people....

I had my mind made up on a new CTS until I saw a guy at a stop light is a silver SS. I had my head down looking at my phone when I heard it looked up and I was like WTF. Followed it until I lost him and knew that this was for me.

My build date is next monday. The only thing I can compare this experience to is to when you meet a girl and you start to date. She's never too far from mind and always brings a smile to your face.

the problem is everyone who doesn't know about VW's thinks the GTI and the Rabbit are the same... i guess technically they are but still everyone i know calls my car the "rabbit".

anyway i'm pretty sure the SS Camaro will never make that list.

BTW i saw the same lady and Camaro this weekend... i wanted to go down to the dealership and see what they got but i had no time. had to clear brush around my house for the 4th next weekend. no point in buying a car if my house burned down
