Good things come to those who wait
I was surprised by my lovely wife the day after Valentine's Day. I have irritated her for 4+ years with my frequent visits to Camaro5, drooling over the possibility of a Camaro. She often goaded me about if I needed to have a Camaro, I would have to have the most powerful made, as " if you have a Camaro, you need to have the biggest, baddest V8 they offer." On the way home from dropping our daughter off at a friends home, she stopped by the Chevy dealer, and noted that they still had the ZL1 Victory red convertible that I had drooled over last summer. I checked the internet and saw that they wanted it for $50,790, almost $14,000 off of MSRP!!! Needless to say, the beauty is in my garage, and I am living my boyhood dreams of driving a throaty V8 instead of the loyal and bulletproof 1972 beetle with 40 HP that I drove in high school. I can only say that the music of a 580 HP V8 on startup moves your soul a bit more than the reliable pop of a VW. I thank my wife for giving me the opportunity to own such a magnificent automobile, and look foreword to many years of driving such a magnificent automobile.

Best color for a ZL1. (yes I am a little prejudiced when it comes to that)
