It is nice. It has 16K miles on it though, it should be. What does he want? $30K. :lolgasm:

You can wrap any car in any color. This would be an easy car to wrap too.

Not in Detroit. Camaros are respectable here oddly. And I'd rather be viewed as a :derp: than a :waxer: at this time in my life.

Boss actually said "I'll remember this at review time, I must be paying you too much"
. Joking, I'm sure, but still. :wtf:
:wtf: That's a shitty and extremely unprofessional thing for a manager to say to their employee. :disappoint:

Unfortunately, that's not helping the "Dinosaur" stigma at GM then :( . I mean I can't imagine anyone thinking a car with pop up headlights is "new". However in plain conversation without having seen the car... hearing "corvette" invokes feelings of opulence and excess in most.
Oh no, most people I work with are young. My boss is only 10 years older than I am, most of my team is younger than me. They just give no fucks about cars. None. It's sad.
:(

:dat: and not like cost of living is high in detroit... i think it should be near mandatory to not bite the hand that feeds and drive new GM cars every 3 years... the :dill: 's employees get are epic... far better than the general public
Everyone I work with drive 10+ year old Malibus that are paid off so they can afford crotchfruit and sports things and whatever. Others just shop for the cheapest possible lease on whatever is a crossover and done.

I would way rather have the GTO. The interior is quite superior.

2005 ellis dos CABRA con manuel and only 6,500 miles. $26k. Honestly I don't think that's horrible. It's basically a new car.

Hot damn that would be a fun car. Throw a blower on it and some coilovers. You could get 600 HP out of this rather easily.

I like them both but the day you add 5k to the red its worth 20 or less. Id offer 15 on the black one. Really smooth style those have. Nice looking performance coupe.
