Overall it is not unreasonable to expect a manufacturer to be able to supply a product that it allows to be ordered within a decent timeframe, or, in this case, at all. I think we can agree on that.
On the other hand, some flexibility in methods and compromises on specs is needed these days if your ultimate target is to get "a" Camaro, no question about it, but it seems his goal was a specific "all-or-nothing" proposition.
Again, I don't necessarily read age into this, at least not as in "y'all just get old and cranky and inflexible"---the main reason age may matter is people's historical experiences and having already seen what things were and could be like. Someone in their late teens, early twenties has no point of reference just yet, they're just establishing their baselines, so they bend more easily. Some people never learn jack s**t, though, so their age is not really relevant  , while others are "old souls" at 20 years of age, go figure. |
Well said. Your diplomacy is head and shoulders above mine.
And you are correct: I wanted a car a certain way, that's why I ordered one. If not I would have compromised and bought one out of Chevy inventory.
The LT1 WITH Recaros was the tough part to make work outside of a dealer order. It didn't happen, but the sun will rise tomorrow. At my old age, that's a big win.
