Before Buying Your Car Did You Test Drive
or just got caught up in the moment "Love at first sight" and said (just take my money) here.

Nope. Had it shipped in from out of state. Saw some pics on line of it, but did not drive it until it came in.

I test drove an automatic with paddles. I bought a manual as I had been driving a manual for the last 8 years. Stalled it as I drove off the lot Hahaha.

Did a huge burnout before buying. If it won't fry the tires I won't and refuse to drive it. P.S. The sales people don't like it when you do burnouts.

No test drive here, just bought them. In fact there were none to test drive when I got the first one.

No 1LE was available when I ordered it. In fact, I had to persuade the salesman, that Chevy was actually making such a car. So, no I ordered without being able to test drive it. I drove a few SS's before, so this gave me some insight as to what to expect.

yes, test drove. probably would have bought it anyways though. it was pretty cool. dealer took me out on the interstate, waited till I was up to about 55, then told me to drop into 3rd and stand on it so I could see what it would do. told me not to worry about cops they give cars with dealer plates on them some slack.

Did a short drive, practically around the block as the gas level was on E. Drove another one from another dealer couple days before and knew I wanted the Camaro. Just felt I had to drive the car I was buying.

You guys are nuts!
 How do you buy a car without driving it? That doesn't even make sense.  I'm glad you guys are happy with your purchase, though.

test drove a ZL1 in Dec, after ordering in Nov, car is being built this week, will deliver late Apr or so ... the dealer i test drove at was a bit upset that i didn't buy (wasn't the right color and didn't have an extra option that i really wanted) ... it was a very short test drive, but enough to clinch the decision
