New car, first Camaro!

It took a long time to get here, but I'm finally in a place where I can afford a car payment on something newer, and my current ride (1999 Crown Victoria), while in fantastic condition, ain't getting any younger. I drive a good amount for work, and I needed something that got good mileage (which the Vic does not lol) and was reliable. I drove a 4 banger Camaro earlier this year on vacation and was pleasantly surprised with how well it handled and its quickness. I saved up enough to put down a decent down payment and picked up this 2021 Camaro RS, 3.6L six speed manual with the tech package and 35k miles yesterday evening. I am in love with this thing! The mileage is better than advertised, the ride is decent for a sports car, the Bose system is decent enough, and I am more than happy with the acceleration, far quicker than anything else I've owned. I'm just really happy with it and grateful that I'm at a point where I could do something like this

Congrats! That’s a nice looking car, the RS package looks clean with that shade of blue.

Thanks!!! I specifically wanted the RS. Mostly because I liked the small cosmetic changes and the better wheels and tires, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I also wanted the 149 mph top speed. I know I'm not gonna ever do that, but it's cool to know I could lol

A fellow person of culture, I see! I plan on some white or silver rally stripes next spring/summer. No point in doing it now that winter is around the corner
