Figure I should update my thread. My Magnacharger came in, I just need to send out for the tune now. Should be installed before the snow goes away.

For the really big news! My Custom 22" Forgiato Martellato's came in today and the shop sent me a picture!

I ordered my 10' SS when i was 23. It nice to see younger peeps getting camaros.

When i walked into the dealership and told them i wanted the new camaro, they automatically assumed i wanted a v6. lol. I told them "what?..no. I want to order the v8 6spd." Anyways, I work for a mortgage company, and dont have any other crazy habits or addiction. No gf and no kids. That helps a lot. LOL.

I just finished my first deployment, and saved all the money from that, my bonus, and my training before that to buy a camaro outright. I now have no money, but who cares? I have a camaro haha

Kids - have no idea on priority, think you will live forever.

Why not save that big down payment and buy a house, or put the $$$ in a retirement plan. What happens tommorow when you lose your job???

Youngsters want everything now, instance gratification.

I took it slow. I have a house, a nice nest egg, kids in school with plenty of $$$ for college if they choose...THEN I went out an bought a Camaro...something to think about.











Apologies to all, I turn 39 in 2 days, rant over

Im only 21 and my first car was 95 Z28 White 6 speed i bought it when i turned 16 i saved up money from mowing grass and working a fast food joint for 2 years. My second car was a 86 Iroc, Then i bought a 96 SS last year Then my dad gave me his 87 Z28 to re-store. Then finally when the 2010 came out me and my wife bought a 2LT. Im saving up money now to buy a SS when I get home and I'm SUPER excited!! lol

24 here. My wife and I do physical therapy. It really is about how you live your life and manage your funds. Work hard and save hard and you can get what you want in due time.

Figure I may as well update this thread a little, it's been a while.

Rims came in as I posted earlier, just looking for suitable rubber to match. My Magnacharger TVS 2300 will be installed either late march or early april, getting a custom tune for that. I also have a hurst short throw to get installed this month or next.
