I'm an old retread. I was a deputy sheriff for 28 years and retired almost four years ago. I only retired to take a federal job that utilizes a lot of my acquired skills from a lifetime in LE. I've owned at least one Camaro since I was 19 years old. I had some pretty lean years, but I managed to hold on to the first one I bought new, my '79 red Z-28. It's not a particularly choice year, but it represents my youth, I suppose. It still has the original engine, but it's making internal not-so-nice noises lately. After I settle down from buying my 2016 SS, I'm going to have the engine replaced in the '79.

My 2016 is my tenth Camaro, btw. Yeah, I love Camaros! The 2016 is a luxury expense, I suppose, but my daughter ran off with her boyfriend/fiancé, so I don't have to spend money on her anymore. The reason my build is kind of a "budget" build is because I wanted to be able to buy it without financing. With my trade of my 2013 1LE and the rest in cash, I own my 16 SS clear and free!
