The 'sure you are' comment I found pretty funny. That's what my other half said, until I showed her the order. I've supported us while she finished school and now she is going to be starting a good job, so everything kinda fell into place. Then I told her what it cost...

Most of the things I want are under fifty dollars. Also, we have a handicapped daughter. She is 12 and has mixed quadraplegic cerebral palsy. She uses a wheelchair and has limited use of her hands and legs. I take care of her, including homeschooling her, while hubby goes to work. So, while I don't bring home a paycheck, I work plenty hard. Our daughter can't sit or stand unassisted, she cannot feed herself, etcetera, but is very smart.
It saddened me to read your post regarding your daughter. Just as it makes me ask "why" every time I see a child of any age who is less fortunate than many. If I may be a bit presumptious at this point IMO you deserve a fleet of camaros for your love and dedication to your child.

My husband is okay with my obsession with this car, but he can't wait until it gets here so I will shut up about it. He is hoping I will let him drive it every once in a while. Ordered 2SSRS Imperial Blue Metallic w/white rally stripes polished alum wheels.

I LOVE the fact that women are as hyped up about this car as the guys are. Of course, looking at past history, wasn't it the women who always were into the Camaro while the guys tended towards the Firebird/TA ? Don't get me wrong, I had two other Z28 Camaros but I swear I used to see more women driving, V6 for sure, Camaros, than I saw guys.

Thanks. I'd settle for one Camaro at this point. We weren't sure we'd be able to get the car, as we had to pay off the 2004 Chevy Express Conversion Van with the wheelchair lift. Luckily, we were able to manage it.

My wife has been pretty good about it. She's ready for me to get the car so I can quit talking about it, but she is supportive.

My wife also loves this car. My wife also hates this forum. She said if that car doesnt show up soon she is cancelling our internet service.

A quick story...
The Mrs knows I have been smitten with this ride for quite some time. Well the time for ordering arrived and she was hesitant. I caught her in a good mood one day (while she was at work and I was on the phone) I told her I was headed to the dealership to get my oil changed and that while I was there I was going to place the order for the car...now we have had this discussion several times...The only comment she made was "Whatever as long as you order RED" I dead set on BLACK. I placed the order....in RED...just as she requested. Well I showed her the workbench printout and she didn't believe me, said I faked it. Months later the welcome kit showed up and she still didnt believe me. THEN I showed her the receipt for the down payment and her jaw dropped to the floor. I told her I ordered red just like she told me to!!!!
