Who the hell says he hasn't adjusted? What are you basing this on? I'm sure you've personally worked with him on a consistent basis so you can accurately comment on his job performance.....

No, but I've personally danced with him many times around issues that I'm ready to register for "Dancing With The Cars" as his partner.

I hear the same thing considering I have been talking about this thing ever since it was announced to the many that were following it that it was going to be produced. I have since learned to not bring it up..and if it is brought up I just say its coming soon and I don't know when but I do know that its going to happen. You should not have to explain yourself to anyone..you know the truth.

Seriously I HATE the newsmedia, I hate that people read and buy into this crap, and I REALLY HATE that people feel the need to rain on my parade by automatically jumping on the bullshit bandwagon from the headlines.

Is this driving anyone else insane!!?!?!?!

Yeah man, but you don't know how obesessed I am with this car. I lose sleep, and lots of it trolling these boards. It's a horrible disease.

And a few of the symptoms are impatience and irrational thinking. I think you may be talking about things out of Scotts control.

It is...I myself have many times kept myself awake just thinking about this car. I know it's rough..that's why I forced myself to take a break from the boards...turned off the computer and found something else to keep myself busy..at least for a few days. The toughest part for me is owning an IPhone and having the ability to access the internet anywhere I was. By doing this I learned to take a back seat and just enjoy the ride..at least temporarily. I may just do it again...when your not thinking so much about something it seems to appear quicker or at least in a sense time is going by the same as it always has...you just did not realize it. That's just my thoughts

The problem is that I own my own business. Self-Employed Computer Technician, and I'm a one man show; constantly on the computer and my Berry. There is no escape and it is virtually impossible for me NOT to check the boards. The flipside to this is that if I stopped visiting altogether for awhile, there is always the chance I could miss some critical information which I am thankful I get here, although usually not from the sources I would expect to hear them from. I know what you are saying though and you are absolutely right. My work doesn't make it easy to avoid this site and essential to how I am able to fund this vehicle. It's a vicious cycle.

I wish GM would stop making us f'ing wait for this media circus bullshit to end on May 6th to take place because they are just wasting time. As you can see, many people are already switching to buying the Challenger, even on this fan site. I don't blame them one bit.

Perhaps this is the perfect analogy of General Motors: Not making their customers a priority forced pre-orders to wait and let them not reward their "valued clients" by increasing the cost of should-be standard accessories and remove options people really wanted (like the shifter). I'll even bet dollars to donuts that my dealer STILL doesn't know that the shifter code was deleted.

Only from "General Motors" do we get "General Answers" because they sure like to dance around issues and never explain why they do it. I'm telling you, by the time I get my car, I'm seriously going to hate what it represents.


If I knew for a fact they were giving dealers 3 or 4 random cars to sell, I'd cancel my damn order! What's the point of a pre-order when Joe Blow walks in off the street and buys one off of the lot? I hope GM is reading this website and sees how fed up people are getting waiting for their cars. This car has been in production now for a month and Nobody has taken delivery of one.What the Hell is going on GM?

I'm just about certain that is happening man. I got a phone call from Schumacher Chevrolet in NJ. The salesman actually tried to get me to cancel my order because they were going to have cars on the lot, loaded and ready to be able to be driven right off the lot. That is why he said they weren't taking preorders. This is a true story man. If you wait for a "lot" car to come in, it isn't going to be what you want which is why I didn't care for the offer.

First, don't talk about the car with people who aren't happy for you and enthusiastic. They are not your friends, regardless of your perceptions of your relationship with them.

Second, remember very keenly who said what, and remind them repeatedly how wonderful your car is and how happy you are when you get it. A ratio of 10:1 for every negative comment should suffice. These people will hate how happy you are, which will only magnify your happiness.

Third, when you get your car, know that you will get 100 compliments from complete strangers for every negative comment you've received so far. Your first three months with a Camaro will be as much fun as you've ever had. Keep the faith.

Also, don't be surprised when somebody gets extremely jealous of you and keys the entire driver side of your car out of spite. Man is not destined to own anything materialistic and keep it pristine if you showcase it outside of your garage.
