Sure could use the Camaro!
This morning, on the way to meet my girlfriend for lunch, 2 dogs ran out in front of me while I was driving. I tried to swerve but hit them both. When I swerved I caught the dirt shoulder and my back end slid out, causing me to spin out of control and across the street and up an embankment. My car was in pretty bad shape. They towed it to an auto body shop, and I should know in a few days whether it's totaled or not. But I sure could use a Camaro right about now, because if it is totaled I don't wanna buy another car and then get rid of it in 8 months. sigh!

Sorry to hear that. If it is totaled, I'd just get some really crappy, really cheap beater to drive until the Camaro comes out.

Or you could try one of those lease trading sites. Find someone with 8 months left and can't afford the payments.

yeah I'll probably just either find a beater. I was thinking of doing some kind of lease thing but I think a beater would be fine. But who knows, hopefully my eclipse will come back in the same shape it was.

Yeah I'm fine. Couple bruises but thats it. Definately glad I was wearing my seatbelt. I barely avoided a tree and a fence. One dog died immediately. The other has to be put down. Very depressing all around.

I'm really sorry to hear about that! And as a dog lover this makes me really sad too! But that really sucks about your car!
Hopefully you'll come up with some kind of plan that will work out so you can still have a Camaro here in a few months!

Good luck with getting your car fixed. Hopefully it will be good news.

thank you, and I found out today it isnt totaled, but its going to take a few weeks to fix. It's pretty banged up.
