We have pre-ordered before sitting in the car. Some of us have never seen the car in person! I will warn you this may be a long post, but I promise no whining.

I was going to go date by date and chronicle my ordering of a 2SS/RS, but even I don't want to read through it. The long and short of it. I pre-ordered with deposit of $500 with MD dealership in September of 08 to get the first allocation and I had never seen the car in person. I was given a VIN (courtesy of this website #647!), the actual date according to my dealership (3/24 4:30pm) and an "in transit" event code. The event code happened three and a half weeks ago. I have been waiting for my car a whole 3 1/2 weeks minus a day or two. AWWWWWWW shucks. Some of us have been waiting 1 year (newbie) or 3 years since conception. You could even say the wait has been for 40 years to have everything you have ever wanted in a Camaro (HUD?).

I got a call tonight from my dealership and my car will not see the lot until the first week in May right around the time of the official release date. No information has been given to them. The dealership had to make the phone call. I bitched and moaned, the dealership bitched and moaned (no whining!). The V6s are coming out first. In my opinion GM doesn't want to make the mistake of marketing a car, putting it in in the best movie ever made and not having Bumblebee on the show room floor. I hope they take note on this launch for the Volt and I don't mean that complementary. Yes, I firmly believe this is a marketing thing and who can blame them.

First and foremost I am a taxpayer =)

So in honor of having one of the first 1,000 Camaros made; I am leaving this site never to lurk or post again until my car comes in of course. I just can't take it. If you have a VIN leave it be. Unplug. It will be here. I waited for my house to be built and it took almost two years while I lived in a dump that I could almost see through the ceiling. I waited for my PT Cruiser the first year they came out and I still love it. I can wait another two weeks.

My car will be perfect and I hope their are 50 of us at a red light.

Amelia, paying taxes gives you no special rights or privileges. You must remember, like all the rest of us, you are NOT SPECIAL!!! And this site neither amplifies nor diminishes that fact. See ya!

amelia...

where is your car now? is it off rail yet? If it is... you may be suprised when your car shows up.... heard a pretty good rumor from a little birdy today.

I, too, ordered from a Maryland dealer. He told me yesterday that they are NOT to release any car before the official launch. Doesn't matter if the car is built and ready, they will not release the car before the launch. He was extremely surprised that some people have already received their cars.

airflowdevelop · 04-22-2009, 12:55 PM

which dealer?

pag1164 · 04-22-2009, 12:56 PM

I ordered from Heritage in Owings Mills. I believe Amelia ordered from Fox in Timonium.

Please enlighten me as to the honor this bestows on these Camaros?

Good luck on the car getting there sooner rather than later!

I tried that, not coming to the site, think I lasted 3-4 days before breaking down.

It's too hard not to see what's going on. More power to you if you can do that.

I just find myself checking my cell for missed calls, more than I ever have in the past. People are starting to get their Camaros, two members here so far, so they are coming. June 1st is still my wish target, all I can do is check the forum and wait.

tjbusa · 04-22-2009, 02:30 PM

Amelia, There seems to be no rhyme or reason on production dates and delivery. You don't really want to stay away from camaro5 do you??? If the the sky is falling, you will read it here first. I haven't been able to miss a single day without loging in since I ordered mine in November.
