2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6-speed, 2014 Ford Mustang GT supercharged 6-speed, an ambulance, a Monte Carlo SS (one of the crazy FWD V8 ones from like 2006), a 2004 Buick LeSabre Custom with 40,000 miles on it (how? I don’t understand), a supercharged Mercedes from 2005 of some description, and a Chevrolet SS.

Being a Chevrolet dealership porter is awesome. Impressions:

Camaro:

I liked the clutch feel.

Throws were very short and fairly notchy. Slightly less so than my friend’s 80s Camaro

Dear god the exhaust is nice. Very quiet below 3000-ish RPM (wasn’t really looking at the tach)

0-40 is near instant

Ride quality was surprisingly smooth

Interior build quality and materials choice was atrocious. The glowing mood lighting was cool, though.

Mustang:

Clutch was meh

Throws were shorter than the Camaro, which honestly made it hard to hit the gear you were aiming for (2nd? how about 4th instead!)

Sounds like God flexing

I didn’t really get to get into it

Interior build quality was actually very nice. I honestly hate the exterior styling of this generation but the interior is far more daily-drivable and “grown up”

Ambulance:

Acceleration was “go slow, there are oxygen tanks in the back”

There were a shitload of buttons everywhere. I wanted to push them all.

Turning radius was far better than expected.

So. Many. Rattles.

Backing out of a parking space in a crowded dealership lot surrounded by expensive brand new cars was an anus-puckering experience.

11/10 would daily

Monte Carlo:

How the fuck does this have a better interior than a camaro?

Only had like 20k miles. I don’t get how a car this old is driven this little

The exhaust sounds awful

TOOORQUE

SO MUCH TORQUE

SO LITTLE TRACTION

ONE WHEEL SPINNAN ALL DAY

Once it hooks up it’s kinda fun, though.

No torque steer.

Buick LeSabre:

Custom, but optioned out. Which is weird. They opted for the lower trim-package then added options until they got to what equates to a mid-range “limited” trim package.

Dear sweet baby jesus the leather was soft

Not a stain, scratch, or dent to be found

Mercedes:

Clapped out

Kompressor is such an awesome badge

Meh

Chevrolet SS:

Sweet

Baby

Jesus

Best car of ever award.

Acceleration was “go slow, there are oxygen tanks in the back”-when shits strapped down you can floor it without worry

There were a shitload of buttons everywhere. I wanted to push them all.-the novelty wears off

Turning radius was far better than expected.-true story

So. Many. Rattles.-also true story

Backing out of a parking space in a crowded dealership lot surrounded by expensive brand new cars was an anus-puckering experience.-try parallel parking one on a tight one way street.

11/10 would daily-do daily one. After a 13 hour shift you’ll be begging to get out of it cause they are so cramped with 2 people and gear inside
