        Lord knows I am not the best one to take advise from but PLEASE think long and hard about turning Jade loose. She is a very fine ride and would be VERY HARD to replace down the road.

            Allen, I completely agree with you. I've owned Jade now for ten years, and I've built her from the ground up, not once, but twice. I have a TON of memories in that car, brought both Chase and Chyanne home from the hospital in that car, made a LOT of Good Friends that could never be replaced. In fact, she's with Matt getting massaged and spoiled; who I would have never met, nor found Bang Shift had it not been for Jade. She has survived my five deployments overseas, and moving in the Army countless times.

            With all that said, you have to admit that the new ZL1 Camaro is bad to the bone...... And over time, one would ponder that the value will only go up.....

              Bucky......if you haven't already, check out www.camaro5.com (and their ZL1 forum)....lots of good stuff there; I've already been in contact with a dealer re: ordering one, not sure yet, will probably wait until first of the year......

                Bucky, I'm thinking of trading mine off for a 2013 ZL1 Convertible...my dealer is still trying to get me to buy a coupe...I'm not sure the ZL1 will go up in value like Jade will continue to hold over the years. The ZL1 is definitely bad to the bone, can't wait to see the Vert at the LA Auto Show...

                                Dave and Dannie- I haven't made it over to Camaro5, but I'm a member of Modern Camaro. I don't post much on that site, I just use it to keep up with the latest info on the ZL1 Camaro. There's no way I could ever afford to buy one and keep Jade, so it basically comes down to which one is more important to me.
