Guess I'll just have to take out my frustration on the SS or my CTS-V. Maybe I'll just get A ZL1 and be an old dude in a really fast car.
Yup. That's where I am - an I'm ugly too!!!!

So he says to me: "Man - that's a beautiful car. I'd love to have a Camaro"
So I say to him: "Yeah - I've been wanting a new car for a while"
Him: "But why a Camaro?" (I had the feeling this was an "old fart in a hot car" question)
Me: "Because I think it's the best looking car out there and I could buy it - so I did"
Him: "Man... you are some kind of lucky - retired AND a brand new Camaro"
Me: "Luck had nothing to do with it - I planned it this way"

He's learning.
