Joking DG. I wish I would have made wiser decisions when I was younger. It took me a little longer than you to get my head on straight.

The love and need to torture myself. I have a hard time sleeping in on weekends because I'm so used to getting up early throughout the week. Went to bed at 3:00 and woke up at 7:15.

ouch.

man that z/28 thread just blew up. 18 pages or so. wow.

here's the million dollar question, How many of those people will actually buy a z/28?


Here's my situation. My MSRP was 37,100. I got my car for 35,750, straight up, no trades or anything. With tax, title and license i was 39,400ish i think. I have around 2,000 in mods done to it, so I am into my car for a realistic 41,500. If i were trade it today, I would get 30k if I am lucky..... So that means a 11,500 hit in 4 months of ownership.

When the z comes out in a year, now this is purely a guess on my part, but I would assume i would get around 25k to 27k for my car depending on miles. Even if the z is around 45k, which seems kinda low, i am going to be out around another 40k to get it. (The 14 to 16k i lost on my 2010, plus the extra 20k to get the 2012 z, plus some more tax, ltitle and license, plus a couple mods like clear bra, tint and some kind of exhaust.)

That just seems like a lot of damn money to me. I understand that there are a lot of people that just don't care how much they lose on something, but another 40k on top of what i spent already, meant i could have gotten a brand new z06. Or a cts-v and a 2002 SS together. etc etc etc.

I'm with ya there bud. My car was $38,350 plus all the other stuff you mentioned above. I've put about 7k or so in mine too.

I'm keeping my car but I'm excited to see the Z come to life.

Me and Skip are saving for another camaro be it a 2SS or a Z. But I might get invisalign first and I want to pay mine off too. So maybe two years?

Dah..... I get, "nice vette" a LOT.... I'm working today and tomorrow too BB. We have some ridiculous outdoor basketball tournament today.. 101 degrees, the pavement temp is 120...

Going to a drive in movie theater tonight (haven't been to one of those in years) seeing Despicable Me and Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's only $6 to get in and it's 4 Camaro friends. I will be dragging ass to get here tomorrow though. The last movie ends at 1 am and it's about an hours drive. Oh, got to detail the car real quick too... Later.
