I had never ordered a car before so I tried to do a lot of research prior, I decided the only options I was going to order were things I couldn't do myself and ended up with just 7 options on my 2020 2SS:

- Magnetic Ride Control
- 10 Speed Automatic Transmission
- Dual Mode Performance Exhaust
- Red Brake Calipers
- Footwell Lighting Package (probably could have done myself)
- 20" Carbon Flash Wheels
- Black Camaro Fender Badge (ended up replacing it a couple weeks later due to PPF install)

I ordered my Camaro Nov 8, 2019 at Weseloh Chevrolet in Carlsbad, CA... I talked to 6 different dealers, 3 insisted I pay MSRP and one went as far as lying to me and telling me it was a GM rule that all ordered cars are required to be sold at MSRP or they could risk losing their dealer license (Escondido Chevy Dealer)... I ended up getting the exact car I wanted for about for about 10% below MSRP...

Took delivery on Jan 17, 2020... Which was a bit of a surreal day as it was... I went on a work trip a few days earlier and as feared, the "Your car is here" call came a couple days before I would return...

Got back from my trip on Jan 16 but had to stay up in Orange County overnight because I had to be at a meeting at Gulfstream Long Beach first thing on Jan 17 to help outfit and configure my bosses new $62 million Gulfstream G600 he had ordered the month prior... So I spent the day until about 3pm doing that and then raced down to Carlsbad to pickup my new Camaro! What an absolutely crazy day!!!

First ever picture (Yeah, I was so excited I couldn't even frame the damn picture correctly!)

During the test drive, we stopped and I got my free tank of premium... Car had 3 miles when I first got in it...

After several hours at the dealer and a terrifying drive home (I swear everyone was out to get me), the "Hot Rod" finally arrived at home (the first & last time (I believe) it was ever driven at night!) and my best buddy immediately went on guard duty to protect our new ride!

Today, 11,000+ miles and over 5.5 years later, I still love looking at it, still nervous when I drive it (don't want anything to happen to it) and think it is looking every bit as good (and in a lot of ways, better than) delivery day... (Tint, New Wheels, Smoked Markers, 'Merican Flag and a whole lot more...)
