A month goes by and they call me and say "Hey it was too late in the model year they canceled the order..." "...so you can either order an '18 and wait until September or we found one 90% as your order only with rally stripes and an automatic and another dealer that you can have now". So I took the auto.
That must have been frustrating. I'm assuming you got your hopes up for "your" Camaro just to be let down. But everything happens for a reason! And it seems like you're enjoying the car a lot, and that's all that matters.

What's your plans for it? Keep it forever?

It was but its fine. Mostly ordered the manual because my teammates wouldnt have let me live it down if I didnt. And yeah I'm enjoying it haha. I want to keep it for as long as I possibly can. Already did a bunch of aesthetic things to make it more FIFTYish.

Still my fave take on the classic/mod looks. Very true looking to the OG

Oh, without a doubt. It's interesting to see how futuristic the Camaro and Mustang keep looking, while the Challenger stays retro.

Sorry to interupt, but how old are you guys? I’m just wondering if there are many true youngins here in Camaro5. I feel like 30 shouldn’t count as a “young blood.” (sorry)
