This is why you should find an ATM you actually need to park for and head inside to complete your transaction. Of course, if you have a girlfriend or are a woman, I would strongly advise doing this late at night. Don't think you are an egghead though. I will give you my thoughts about this:

- The Gen 5 Camaro is a bit deceptive in appearance. The Gen 4 definitely sits lower to the ground so you actually have to fall into the seat and it does feel like your butt is barely an inch away from being scraped by the pavement.

- Gen 5's actually sit higher off the ground, but what is deceptive about it is the fact that the roof of the top part of the car is shorter than a Gen 4, so in fact, you have roughly the same clearance as a Gen 4. Difficult to explain. To pop your head out of the window, ala ATM, and hit your head upon retraction back into the car is totally possible, egghead or not.

The top part of the car is an odd shape; appealing and attractive, but odd. The Duke boys, Bo and Luke definitely would NOT use the Gen 5 Camaro in their escapades. I admittedly banged my head at drive-thru ATM's before. Also, avoid fast food drive-thrus as well. You could potentially smack your car along the drive-thru path when you drive around to pick up your food if it is too narrow. I have chipped wheels in the past because of this. Hope this helped a bit!

Am i an egghead or has this happened to anyone else? Lessons learned.
Now i do the tilt and reach. haha
Very difficult to tell without pictures. If this is a constant problem, park the car and walk in. If you still hit your head on something, its because you are a klutz, not an egghead. See your optometrist and inquire about glasses. It might help.

You may be an egghead but look at it this way, an egghead with a camaro beats anything else without one.

This car is not very compatable with ATMs. I find myself having to open up the door a bit to reach the buttons on most ATMs. However, I do remember to duck before bring my head back in the window. Egghead!

The Camaro's small and high placed windows make it quite difficult to use ATMs or make simimlar type transactions from the car (Pharmacy drive through, bank window, etc).

I end up having to hang my head and arm out the car window. I also have to be careful bring my head back into the car.

Just look at how skinny the Camaro's window are.
