I almost sinned today but came to my senses

Yes my fellow camaro friends, I need to be taken out back and receive 20 lashes for my sins. Today I was coming home and saw on the local lot a 2007 Mustang Shelby GT. I decided to go look at it and I took it for a test drive. It had a lot of power and I loved the Hurst short throw shiftier in in. The dealer is a auto nut and he let me really get on it and it felt wonderful. We got back to the dealership and we started the process. I was able to knock them down 5 grand from there asking price and they were going to give me a great trade in price on my camaro and let me remove all the aftermarket parts and put her back to stock. I wont post the final price but it was insane. The shelby was clean, I mean CLEAN! One owner, a older gentleman who traded it in for a truck. It only had 22000 miles on it and all records with it. I got the price I wanted and everything was going great. My sales person had to go talk to the loan person about something. So I was sitting in the booth alone and this is no joke. As I was sitting there I looked out at my camaro sitting there all clean and sexy looking. I started to think of all that I have done to her and all the great times we have had. I felt like I was about to betray her. I could not trade her in. Sales person walked back in with all the documents to sign and I told him I had a moment of clarity and just can't bring myself to do it. Shredded the paperwork and I walked out, got in my camaro and left. As I was leaving I punched her and broke the tires loose and got that grin on my face again. I knew I made the right decision. I had a moment of weakness. Maybe this was a test lol.

FORGIVE me my Camaro brethren for I have sinned and I have come to confess my sin

Nothing wrong moving on to another car for the right reasons but that would have been a brain fart imo.

Made the right choice brother.... No sense in financing a 6yr old car for another 4-5-6 years... Car would be 10 years old by the time it was paid for.... Talk about a set back. Lol

No one would want a car note on a car that 6years old.... On top of that, be paying a car note on a car that would be 8+ years old...

Glad up kept the Camaro.

Lol oh trust me as soon as I got home I ordered 2 more parts for her. I have a feeling if I would have done it I would have been looking outside thinking "what have I done"

I'm not sure if I would ever move back to an older car, even if it was a better car.
