Today was a bad day until it was a good day.

It’s been a crazy week. The company I’m involved in put on two large festivals a year that attract crazy women from across the midwest. And we got one coming up tomorrow that goes through next weekend. If that makes no sense than maybe !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Anyways, I was carrying a large metal display with my dad when it slipped as I was stepping onto the trailer and sliced my leg open. Went to urgent care and got a tetanus shot and 9 stitches. BLEH.

Anyways, I get back to work (oh, btw, I’m technically still working, don’t tell my boss) and get notified by an ST club member who works at a Chevy dealer that they can put in an order for the Camaro I want. So, I ordered that. That made my day better. It’s a 1SS model, black, black wheels, 6-speed, with just the MRC as an option. MAYBE the front 6-piston Brembos once he figures out the cost on that option.

Oh, and my wheels came in today for the car I will now be selling. Which is kind of cool and kind of sad.

Well, back to work.

It’s not a new decade of my life if I don’t need another tetanus shot. I mean you KNOW it’s going to hurt and yet you always underestimate how badly it will hurt the next day.

And the fact that our festival starts tomorrow just makes it worse. Oh well, could always be worse.

Maybe not. Tetanus shots are pretty horrible.

Just a warning, some people feel really sick the day after a tetanus shot. I almost had to leave a rental car and get a cab to the airport, I was that dizzy and nauseous just from trying to drive.

Glad the day got better at least!

Yes, we’re losing an ST to an awesome V8 master race mobile!! :D

Black on black can be a little bleh on some cars, but it looks killer on the Camaro. Congrats!

Are you still keeping the ST? I recall yours was pretty awesome.

“that attract crazy women from across the midwest”

More info?

Getting rid of the ST before the curse kicks in? Or did you already have it happen? Anyway, congrats on the Camaro!

If this is your first time, good luck lifting your arm tomorrow (I assume they put the needle in your shoulder).

Much jelly! I’m hoping in a few years once I get done with school and get a steady job, I can order myself a 2.0T Camaro. Until then I’ll just have to oogle and be jealous!

As for your leg... Ouch.

What is this “curse?” I would like to be in the know

That didn’t go well.

A lot of our ST owners on Oppo have been in accidents or had bad things happen to their cars.

I had one 8 years ago after a mountain biking accident. It might have been worse than my injuries lol.

Actually, adding to that, I can think of three oppos that have shared their dissatisfaction with the vehicle at some point.

Reminds me of my buddy who has a red 350z Nismo. There's a legit curse on red 350z Nismos. Hardly any were made (far more rare than the 370z versions) but I'm pretty sure he's sent me 10 pictures over the last year from the official Facebook group of guys with red Nismos wrecking them.

Imagine a sausage fest but totally opposite. And you're surrounded by crazy hot milfs. It's not so bad.

09/17/2015 at 23:12

Thanks, I’m pretty excited, it’ll be my first RWD V8 car.

And hopefully the leg doesn't fall off and force me to change my order to a goddamn automatic.

That’s like, my everyday. Except the tetanus and stitches. And any real drama.

So y’all put on a milf convention? Very interesting...

And they buy lots of stuff from us. Sometimes I’m like “is this real life?”

For you it’s like this maybe?

Bad day=going to school

Good day=leaving school

Hell yeah! I’m 41ish and divorced. I love Milfs.

What’s the cost of the Camaro as you spec’d it. Also do you know if the 1SS gets CarPlay?

citizennick > Jayhawk Jake
09/18/2015 at 03:09

I’m fairly certain it does. The only difference between the 1SS and 2SS was the inclusion of navigation but they both came with the same screen. Very happy with how they equipped the 1SS. I don’t need 9 speakers, leather or HUD.

He said out the door it should be under 41k.

citizennick > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

My issue with it is how hot it gets on the track. Definitely not built to handle that very well.

citizennick > smobgirl
09/18/2015 at 03:11

I had one 8 years ago and it was miserable. Tomorrow is a big day, too /:

citizennick > TheOnelectronic
09/18/2015 at 03:14

Nope, I will be selling it. And thanks, I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

I spec’d it out to match my brother’s C7. Definitely a big brother/little brother car combination.

I'll miss the ST but all the cooling systems on the SS will always make me feel like I made the right decision. Yay for being able to go more than 3 laps without overheating!

Jayhawk Jake > citizennick
09/18/2015 at 07:43

Hud is awesome though

citizennick > Jayhawk Jake
09/18/2015 at 09:49

I love HUD, especially on this and th Corvette, but I can only get it if I upgraded to the 2SS. Bleh.

Jayhawk Jake > citizennick
09/18/2015 at 09:58

Lame

citizennick > Jayhawk Jake
09/18/2015 at 10:01

It does have that awesome center display similar to the C7’s though!

Jayhawk Jake > citizennick
09/18/2015 at 10:07

Fair enough. I’d probably go for the budget SS as well, I can’t blame you. I’m going to consider it, but I feel like the price is just a tad bit too high for me to really afford.

I'm hoping to get a C6 at some point in the next year or two though, that'll make up for it

citizennick > Jayhawk Jake
09/18/2015 at 11:34

I love the C6. There's a local guy who has one with just the Z51 package and he tears it up in A-Street.

Jayhawk Jake > citizennick
09/18/2015 at 13:32

That’s my plan. I’d really like a grand sport but they’re still a bit pricey. I’m keeping my eye on values.
