looks like he couldn't afford the whole GFX kit, so he just settled for the rockers and rear diffuser lol

The owner of our Jimmy Johns delivers in his MASSIVE super expensive Tundra.

I get it a bit...boy must be nice...man your loaded...what did you do rob a bank. Bite me! Your damn mini van cost more than this. These cars are a good value for the money but they do look expensive

Oh I agree, I've had the same situation happen.

Even funnier when someone is telling me they wish they could afford one sitting next to their Honda accord or what have you.

Too much of the time on this forum people believe that these cars are the end all be all of cars. While I love my SS and take excellent care of it, this is a highly massed produced car and you can get a used one in the teens. It is not an expensive car by any means. At the end of the day to some people this is just a car like any other car and they use it that way. I'm sure he doesn't wash it every week and it sleeps in the parking lot not in a garage.

Although this is not mine, something to keep in mind. When my mom passed away, her final expenses damn near depleted my liquid savings, so even with a 6 figure salary I took a second job delivering pizza, yes in a camaro that I paid cash for.

Damn ignorant. Maybe he works 3 jobs just to afford the Camaro. Ièm 20, and have had a 2LT/RS, 2009 silverado 1500, and my current 2SS/RS. I am a robotic engineer/technician and make a damn pretty penny. Some people put more effort into being able to afford their car, and they get put down for it... Immature if you ask me.

I was young and working minimum wage with more than 5 jobs at a time, sometimes more! Long hours and on call 24/7. At the end of the day I'm happy with my profession and Camaro. Don't believe me???

Ask any of my fellow NCO!! Lol

And that does NOT count the time it would have taken to CLEAN the vehicle... those newspapers are filthy things. They don't belong in a car that somebody wants to be clean... took me about an hour each day to clean up after the newspaper contamination. Sure, one could find ways around it: Tarping or whatever. What a hassle.

After three days, I had newfound respect for newspaper delivery people, but knew that I did NOT need a second job that badly.

I have been doing news papers since june 2002 every single night.
they are very filthy and thats why they will never see my Camaro.
Thats why i have my Hhr to beat on every night in every kind of weather.

Actually, ignorance can also come from not reading completely. Scroll up and read my other post... where I present the OPPOSITE opinion - suggesting, in fact, that perhaps he OWNS the place. oop. Kinda immature to not get fully informed first, ask me...

So, it may not be this persons ONLY job.

Agreed, me too!

Alfieboy · 09-09-2014, 06:55 PM

OP who the hell are you to judge?

guaranteed you dont know the individual, or nothing about that individual...where else they may work, where they live or with who..etc.... rude totally rude

JantzenOKC · 09-09-2014, 07:33 PM

Yeah you guys are right I don't know this guy's situation.. I just thought it looked odd to see a cool looking Camaro with a JJ sign on top, so I snapped a pic. I'm pretty sure he was a young kid but I could be wrong. A while back there was a young kid with a nice challenger working there with the sign on it too

I'm sure there's hard working appreciative young people that work hard for there new cars, but around Edmond where I live there are a lot of rich kids that aren't those things.

And I didn't say anything negative, just said it must be nice. And probably is! I was thinking after i posted that he might be a member on here since he had the side skirts and rear. If so, no offense man lol

Nobody's judging, settle down.

JantzenOKC, you are a class act... seriously. Generally, when another poster takes a jab, it just escalates with further jabs and eventual degradation into a mess of name calling and hostility. However, you took the criticism in stride (re: the last couple of posts), and instead of blustering and escalation, you took the high road... very unusual for the Internet, but I gotta say: I like your style!
