It's an automotive arms race!!!

So....I got the 2011 Camaro 1SS recently and one of my co-workers has been spazzing about it as he had a GTO but sold it when his kids arrived and he's been driving a low horsepower shit box since then.....

Last Friday we went to lunch in the Camaro and he said "I test drove a Mustang GT last night...but....I can't pull the trigger....more than I want to spend right now...my wife is all for it but I'm just too cheap."

I pull into work today and sitting in the parking space I normally take out in BFE I find this....

He said his wife went and bought it when he took his kids to a movie on Saturday.

I'd be kinda of annoyed if my wife surprised me with a brand new car.
I would be very annoyed.

If it's an automatic, you should murder him with a chain saw, sell his children into slavery, and use his wife as a sex slave.

Okay, it didn't.

I'd take an RS Camaro with the 3.6LVVT Direct Injected engine.

Luckily, all ends well in the land of men and cars.

Remember: A man may have but two feet, but a proper car requires at least 3 pedals.
