Camaros.........................
« on: March 02, 2010, 10:37:14 AM »
In another thread I posted about getting my Daughter a camaro. She thinks it is coming into the dealership in a couple more weeks and that we will look at it and decide if we want to purchase it.

Well I found out the chevy house closer in had one on the way with everything the first one had except the sunroof. I was leary of the sunroof anyway and it changed the roof line. Yesterday, as luck would have it, I called the salesman to let him know I'd be down to put hold money on it. Late yesterday morn he calls me and tells me it just came in. The Wife and I go by last night and purchase the car.

Now the fun starts. Our Daughter still thinks the machine will be in sometime in the next 2 weeks. When she comes in friday we are going to run down to the chevy house under the pretense of talking to the salesman about one they have coming. After talking to him as we leave they will pull the car around with a 4 foot bow on it and the guy will get out and hand our Daughter the keys.


Open to more ideas. I have till friday evening when she comes in from A&M.


Hopefully she will be as surprised as she was when she got her first car. That worked out great.

She must be a real good kid (good dad too!) to deserve something like this, congrats on your daughters success and bright future.

hehe you could tell the salesman to tell her GM delayed it for 6 weeks due to the high volume of sales and you can always pick something else out ( like some dorkie car lol )and have it there all shiney and ready to go

Shuff, just to add a twist to your idea (which is great).  Take her to the dealership and "have her consider a Cobalt instead, as they just don't have the Camaros readily available".   But try and sell it for a bit.  :devil    You've obviously raised a great daughter and regardless of what you do come Friday, she'll be happy.

do what masher said.....but have your wife sneak the car home, so that when you get home from shopping for her cobalt, her new car is waiting in the driveway.  :aok

 :rofl

The story on the bow is that my Wife ordered it to put on the mustang. It came in the day after we gave it to her. So now we get use after all.

Very cool? How much? :P

Can't get a Stang anyway till I move away from NY...otherwise I'd need a car and a 4wd to get up the hill I live on in the winter.

Found an 04 Red Stang on craigslist for 7,9...38K miles on it, lowered.

Pretty damn good for only 38K miles.

 Shuff,

  Is there something she just hates doing?? putting garbage out,dishes,whatever...  have the car hidden,make her do that chore she hates,have it lead her to the car just when she's most upset about doing the chore then sit back and enjoy!!


 Nothing like seeing the 180 happen.....going from Ogre to Daddy is a reward you have to experience.


 Did this to my son,he wanted a bike,told him it was too expensive and sometimes you just dont get everything you wanted for Xmas.We then made him cleanup all the wrappings and stuff and put out into garbage.....guess what was in the garbage shed???   Well it made my day....  Try it,you might enjoy the outcome,I sure did!     hardest part is keeping a straight face.. :devil

careful on craigslist dude.

i just had a guy try to scam me with a rollback. he's trying to avoid face to face contact, based on the fact that he's about to be deployed to iraq. THAT line makes me wanna injure him, seeing as i know he's trying to scam me. worst part is, he tried telling me how he's a member of the ebay community, although i found the ad on craigslist. he wanted to ship it to me. told me 5 to 7 days. i told him i'm only 2 hours way, i'll drive up, pay if i like it, and load my car and drive home. haven't heard back since.

a customers kid just got scammed buying a honda crx in pa. the car's impounded right now.
