Just like my dad, bought his first car when he was 15, and every car from that point on. My mom, ehhh, not so much

That's just it though. Those people really don't realize that a Camaro at our age is par for the course. You can ask some of the oldtimers around here when they got their first muscle car. I guarantee you the ages will sound familiar to ours.
One of the best examples I have was shortly after I purchased mine and took a ribbing for it on here due to age I ran across a elderly gentleman who valeted my car. He asked me how the hell someone so young can afford one of these. I asked him what he drove, he told me a toyota Avalon.
I then proceeded to inform him that adjusting for inflation his car was probably more expensive new then mine was, the look on his face basically told me all I needed to know about that particular subject. As cool as they are, Camaros are really not that exclusive. Certain people seem not to realize that, and probably won't no matter how many facts you throw at them.
