I can see some peeps doing a neutral drop at 6000 grand and saying they were just launchin normal
Well, these were automatics, but they did admit to being at the track.

The paychecks are good for two nice cars. We have the brand new G8 GT so I just dont think I could get a new Camaro now and pay it down enough to trade it in for a Z/28 in two years. Dont get me wrong I love cars but I dont want to hurt us financially. That 2 year mark of the Z/28 may be when I get out of the military so who knows what the future paychecks will be.
