Well I have cleaned out my car so I guess that means I'm going through with the purchase. I'm actually getting excited now for the first time.

It's a 2012 Camaro SS, inferno orange and it comes with a few bells and whistles. I was thinking of going to the V6 but gonna stick with what I've picked. I'm gonna have a fun summer!

Congrats, you'll love it, stay with the V8, you'll have more fun, but don't end up like myself and friends on the side of the road

No comment, we were called in by people with cell phones, we were not racing, just following each other, we all got warning letters in the mail, by the RCMP

I'm guilty of not reading all the posts thoroughly ...

When my wife bought her new Camaro, she researched it for about 1 year
When it came time to buy, they didn't have in stock what she wanted, but a step up
The floor salesman wasn't much help, so she went to the internet guy
He let her test drive it, which apparently doesn't happen much with Camaros and Corvettes
The internet salesman then knocked a big whack off the price of the one they had in stock, as she didn't want all the extras, and she paid basically what she wanted to for a step up

Short story in long version, but, if you're not happy, back away .....

If it's what you want, and the price is close enough to what you feel is right, DO IT

Ya, it's always scary making the commitment, but it's what you were going to do anyway

Lastly, because you started this thread, I'll say this ...

It sounds like you are uncomfortable with what's going on, and, IMHO, you should back away for a week or month to re-think it
In the meantime, get your money back
Why are you questioning yourself is the question I'd be posing to myself

I've been looking at this car for about 2 years now. I've stopped and tire kicked a lot, but the time was never right. Last year my bf and I said for our 40th bays we would get one. I finally talked to a sales person about it, different options etc and did sit on it. Then I took it out for a drive and was in love. I just started typing a long explanation and realized I was getting personal and I don't need to here. I know why I'm questioning this purchase and let's just say its part of who I am. I did the same when setting up my 180 gl tank and still go wtf did I get myself into?? i wanted a 135 gl tank, so the 180 was overwhelming too (see the comparison....). it's change, something completely different and new to me and out of my comfort zone. The fear of regret is not a financial one, I researched pricing before even stepping into the dealership and knew what I'd be looking at. So I figure you only live once, life is too short and it needs to stay fun. Maybe in a few years, I'll be back in a Mazda, but at least I can say I did it.

I truly appreciate the feedback from everyone here.
