Likely trajectory for posts that perturb you on this site (completely without sarcasm).

Today: People still don't have their cars. There are some delays, some without explanation and nothing gets people riled up/frustrated like not knowing. Plus a minor recall for something pretty silly that likely should have been caught occured. The reviews are out, the car's great but the Earth didn't start spinning the other way because of extraordinary Camaro uberness. And shockingly, a pretty inexpensive option package makes the Mustang outhandle the Camaro. All the while- the state of GM is a soap opera in the background.

3 Months from now: There will be some sort of federally approved plan for GM. The last of the preorders will have been shipped and the production line/shipping channels will be straightened out. The Camaro won't be on the front page of the major mags anymore. You'll start to see the information on modding your car increase (alot) as people have the car in their hands and start playing with it. You won't have daily discontent because GM and Camaro won't be front page. The forums will slow down a bit.

1 year from now: It will mostly be modder and off-topic conversations with some people trying to decide on a new car thrown in. Every so often there will be a magazine article where something beats a Camaro for some reason and there will be 17 page firestorms- but everyone will mostly stay in off-topic and modding forums. The OP will have what he wants.

Since I am the Nostradomus of the interwebz, you are welcome to mark these things on your calendar.
