I remember buying my first new Camaro. Ordered a fully loaded dark blue 82 Z28 when I was 21. Sold my 78 Z28 to get the down payment. Nobody ever paid for my cars except me. Those were the days.

And the cool thing was, I was buying old school muscle cars in high school because that's all anyone could afford back then (the massive oil embargos/high gas prices in the early and mid 70s cause what I term "muscle car dumping"). In our high school parking lot we had a green LS6 SS Chevelle, a 69 Z28, a 68 Road Runner with a 383, a 69 Charger or Challenger or some sort of MoPar, all I know it had a 440 six pack. I had a 64 Malibu SS, that I sold and bought a 69 Olds 442 4-speed with 3.91 rear gears for $550.

There's never been any modern day high schools whose parking lot looked like a muscle car show. So I feel very fortunate.

For those young folks enjoying a new Camaro....SAVOR IT!

Heh, I don't think I'd be alive today if I'd been driving a good V8 in high school. I was about as restrained and responsible as a teenager can get and I still almost killed myself with a 170-hp Datsun (that would be the day I learned not to suddenly floor the gas while in the middle of a turn in a RWD car).

End semi-rant. MY POINT IS WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG NO MATTER THE AGE!!!!

back on topic: I'm 17 gonna order in 2 mnths so i can pick it up when i'm 18 the following month.
So very true! I've been through this so many times.

I'm 19! How come I don't have one? Ha! Lucky spoiled brats! I'm stuck with my '83... not that I'm complaining. But, I'll get my hands on one eventually.

I have one word for you younger kids... humility. It's very important and people will respect you more.
