A rip off of a 300? What a mensa. The really ironic thing is that the 300 is a Bently wanna-be. This guy must be one of the idiots I play online poker against. Usually first out!

I looked at him and asked if he needed glasses! He then proceeded to tell me that the Camaro would never save GM, and it was a waste of time building it. I then told him he was telling that to one of the 14,000 people who ordered one already and the crowd gathered around the car obviously did not agree with him either. I assume he went off to go look at the newest KIA or something.....
Its funny you should mention this because i was having a conversation with a friend today and he was babbling on about how the Camaro would never sell and GM should just pack up and move to Mexico and i'm overpaid and he won't buy GM ...bla,bla,bla when all of a sudden he tripped over a rock and broke his leg in TWO PLACES....well ....now things are different as he's screaming in pain and asking for HELP !!!!! And guess what type of truck took him to the hospital for surgery ! Well none other then a GM and his leg was stabilized by a GM worker from Canada.. I will have that conversation again when he's back on his feet and maybe then he'll see the light.

It was a very interesting day to say the least.

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

I know I shouldn't have laughed at such a serious injury (my buddy did the same thing in Dec.), but I think he deserved it!!! What kind of friend says things like that...especially to someone that builds the car!

"Help me! I broke my leg!"

"I'm not exactly paid for that. Apparently, some people believe I should be paid less for what I do."

I love watching people hang themselves. You should have called him on his insanity and asked him what about the Camaro looks the same as a 300.

Doubt he would have had an answer. If he did, you still win because you get a good laugh.

Getting someone sensible to attempt to defend crazy statements can be funny, but if they're just an idiot as asking questions is simply a way to give yourself a headache IMO. My limited experience with people that go around saying things this ridiculous is that they simply respond to questions with more craziness, or even worse they don't have an answer and simply repeat what they said to begin with and act as if that was an answer.
