I got my camaro in the middle of my junior year and I'm about to graduate. I didn't really get much crap from people, but there are a couple of other camaro's also. I did get called spoiled a time or two even though a kid drives a Aston Martin everyday there (~ $200,000). I never had any problems with people messing with the car and I really hope that doesn't change when I go to college next year.

For all the people that are like "omg young people with a camaro" relativity speaking, the Camaro really isn't an expensive car. Let me look out my window in the parking lot (at college)...

Oh a F150 platinum with rockstars
...a F150 FX4 with rockstars
a Porsche boxster
Hey look! There's a M3!

If I look even father I can see a M5, a H3.... I'm sure you get the point.

All I'm trying to say is, it's awesome that we are young and have Camaros, but there are people who have way more, and the Camaro isn't the most expensive car in the world. Just saying.

My father also bought a brand new truck when he was my age and put tons of money into to. He did that with hard work and savings. That concept is nothing new.

EDIT: After coming back and reading this a couple hours later, it sounds really arrogant, but it's not ment to come off that way.

Bleh, my college is ridiculous, I genuinly do not mean to sound racist but we have a massive population of foreign kids here on student visas and the car scene is insane, off the top of my head 1 cts-v, 1 zr1, oodles of mustangs, 2 evos, decked out escalade. I know none of them work but its whatever at this point.

I love my 5th gen, and don't brag about it all the time. My parents bought it fore me, but I have earned more than 2x the car's worth In scholarships, I am a good kid, have very good grades and am very responsible. I probably care more about that car that my mom does, who is paying for it..

I'm a sophmore. I don't have a Camaro. Or a car. Yet. But that is because I only have my permit because of the age rules here. Anyway regardless of what I go with (Camaro or Mustang) my parents will not paying for the whole thing. I don't know what the deal will be yet in regards to how much I contribute but all I want to say is that it won't be handed to me. My mom said that the more I contribute the more car I can get. Anyway I have thought of a few jobs so far I'm going to try for this summer so I can get that SS or GT

Yeah I really like it. But I've wanted a Camaro since I saw Transformers when I was 10 so I'm somewhat worried that one day I'll regret not getting it. But after the 2014's reveal today and when I see it in person on the 6th then I'll decide if I wait several months for either a '14 Camaro or '14 Mustang or if I look now at the '13 Camaro and '14 Mustang.
