I can sleep now. All is right with the world :)
Man it feels great to say "I'm back". Some of you may remember me from my poor decision earlier this month.
http://imgur.com/wKyb3 I will ALWAYS have a place in my heart for my first Camaro. She was more than that. A symbol of the great things that happened to me in 2011. I'll miss you always "Lauren". None the less, I fought back at 2012. Here she is everyone. "Claire". http://imgur.com/9WHrv Just picked her up this morning! 2012 2SS (non-RS). Luckily I saved a few parts off of Lauren and put the CAI and a few other things in already. The upgrade was WORTH IT. Call me crazy, but I likes the cloth door panels better. I've already had a thread about the steering wheel in the 2012's, so I won't bring it up here again aside from saying "I'll be changing it back". The gauges too. Finding my beauty was a chore itself. Evidently, finding a black, manual, SS Camaro is practically impossible in my neck of the woods. Longs stories ensue, but here's the short version. Played a few mind tricks on the dealers, made them fight themselves and others, got a $37,500 MSRP car for $35,000 and financed at a lower rate for an upgraded car. Mission accomplished. But most of all, I really do want to thank all of you guys (and girls?). I received lots of well wishings, advice, and support from the community. I apologize for the bad rep towards Camaro owners that may have come with my bad behavior, but I'm here to say "Round 2 - Bring it on!" Thanks everyone. |

"All is right with the world"?..."The World"...will always be screwed up!...its our re-action to that and our acceptance of it that makes things "all right"...good luck, glad you are ok...the world will take care of itself! (you don't have to fix it!)...take it easy!!
