Default It's an automotive arms race!!!

So....I got the 2011 Camaro 1SS recently and one of my co-workers has been spazzing about it as he had a GTO but sold it when his kids arrived and he's been driving a low horsepower shit box since then.....

Last Friday we went to lunch in the Camaro and he said "I test drove a Mustang GT last night...but....I can't pull the trigger....more than I want to spend right now...my wife is all for it but I'm just too cheap."

I pull into work today and sitting in the parking space I normally take out in BFE I find this....

He said his wife went and bought it when he took his kids to a movie on Saturday.

I'd be kinda of annoyed if my wife surprised me with a brand new car.
I would be very annoyed.

If it's an automatic, you should murder him with a chain saw, sell his children into slavery, and use his wife as a sex slave.

yeah, my wife went and bought me a snowmobile for my birthday a couple years back. That sucked.



Okay, it didn't.

I'd take an RS Camaro with the 3.6LVVT Direct Injected engine.

Luckily, all ends well in the land of men and cars.

Remember: A man may have but two feet, but a proper car requires at least 3 pedals.
