Every vehicle purchase is a poor financial decision, depreciation vs appreciation. In my case I wanted a Mercedes S550 and I could afford it, so I bought it. The GTS was to be a fun car, however Mercedes bought it back, no loss. You work hard, make good financial decisions and it all comes together. I am not a trust baby; all given to you, I worked and saved and now going to enjoy it, in fact I am going to spend it all or leave it to the Disabled Veterans. And yes the M6 does have hill assist in both directions if it engages.

Thank you for the kind words. The garage is my regular hang out. Just need to get the beer dispenser.

Your car should have hill start assist to help with rolling back.

If you really want an A10 though, I have a hard loaded NGM coupe ordered with a 6/5 tpw.

Damn guys, might want to go a little easy on the Value Judgements!

The OP has the right (esp in TX) to live his own way and do with it as he pleases.

Few things suck more than owning a car that you don't enjoy. Especially when it's something like a ZL1. I say buy what makes you happy.

Can't believe your "jelly" attitude is so obvious. The OP likes fine cars and choses to spend his money accordingly. Nothing wrong with that. Besides the last I checked the "little/middle guy" has a better chance of employment when money is spent on things that need to be built and serviced.

OP - nice stable of fine horsepower in that garage! And I say - get the coupe as I'm not a fan of verts anyway.

Are you $*%($@# kidding me? I've read a decent amount of BS on the Camaro5/6 forum, but this tops it all. 1st place in BS prize goes to you sir!

I could launch into a massive rant right now as I'm highly political and have studied these sorts of things before but I'll refrain for now and just listen to this sign:

So true, a new Turbo S will depreciate as much as a ZL1 costs in two years.

Hit a nerve eh. At least can'thave2muchhp gets to up his post count some which he loves doing. Paid 65k in taxes last year not including purchases so yeah I make a decent living, but I work hard for it and wouldn't waste it like OP. Oh and don't call me sir unless your my apprentice, even then...guess I should've worded it like EricSS.
