So I'm at the dealer today checking out their black 2SS/RS auto and another customer pulls in and hops out of his truck...with one of those bluetooth phones hanging off his ear. Not a good sign. We start chattin and he says he thought it might be his because he ordered a black 6-speed, but no, this one's an auto and it's not an RS. I say, "Really?" 'cause I was pretty sure it was. I head to the front and say, "Yeah, it's got halos. This is an RS." "No, it doesn't have RS badges."

You see where this is going. I tried to explain that red SS badges means SS/RS, that RS only appears on 6s blah blah blah. No dice. Not just disagreement; belligerent I-know-what-I'm talking-about-you-don't proclamations. Of course the young lot guy agrees that V8 RSs come with RS badges, so he's no help. Finally, I meekly point out the tag on the window which reads - wait for it - OPTIONS:RS PACKAGE. Did that help? Of course not, the wheels were silver, not dark gray! I didn't even bother. A pre-order customer who's never been to Camaro5.com and doesn't know every possible fact about his car. That's just weird.

Wait'll his car comes in and he starts informing his dealer they screwed up his order. That's gonna be a loooong day.
