So many backhanded compliments.

well kind of hard cause i went with the ss manual, i know people who would talk crap if you got the LT or ss auto, plus adding the sunroof, only thing they say i should have done where stripes, i respond with i will once its ready for the show and i can get them 90% cheaper then the dealer. but hey everybody has opinions i do the same with people i know when they get a car but i ask them why they went with what they got before i say any more.

Agreed. Too bad they aren't telling you what they would like to do, rather than tell you what you should have done.

They could then go on and you could still feel good about whatever they say. People are interesting.

Yep. Getting tired of the "should have bought the V8" line. I was joking with a coworker today about starting a paypal account and advertising a "Get RedRaider a V8" fund!

I wouldn't worry about the haters. It's your car, dressed the way YOU like and that's all that's really important. By the way, I wouldn't have done the yellow. LOL.

Today I had a guy come up and told me I should've waited till next years model so I could get a V8. Cause the dealership told him they wasn't going to have V8 till next year. This is even after saying that's the 1st SS one he saw in person and he couldn't believe they made V6 SS. I said yeah and popped my hood and said since there not coming out with V8 till next year they must have screwed up on mine cause for some reason it has V8 going across the front top of motor. He just looked at it and said but those are coming in the 2010 Camaros and once again I said this is 2010 Camaro. So this could actually go under this post or the dumbest thing people said post. But just got a kick out of screwing with dude. Was a little afraid he might think I was a smart ass but he didn't he actually thanked me for letting him check out my car.

Heh, I couldn't agree more. My canned response has been "You make the payments, Ill make the changes".

I am in San Diego, and according to my deal had the first yellow Camaro in town. However, I FINALLY saw a second one sans the stripe and that had the Ground EFX painted to match the car.

You just need to realize everyone has diferent tastes and don't let it get under your skin.

Today I had a guy stop me about the car, he said it was nice, but he is waiting to get the SS. He is staring at my car with all the SS badges on it...what an idiot! I told him this is the SS, then he looked and said oh yeah. Wow, I didn't think you could get that one yet.
