Coulson T, I can understand throwing in the towel.
My '08 had more than the expected number of problems which cost a lot to fix. I reached my limit of patience with it and sold it.
Now I have a new '13 GS, but the repairs and problems continue

Man come to think of it, I don't know if my defroster works...never driven it at a time where I needed it.
As far as bottoming out, I've scraped the bottom plastic piece more times than I count; but actually bottoming out, can't say I have. And I've been on some of the most pothole ridden areas and steepest culdesac curbs from here to Detroit.
Hope you enjoy the Camaro though, had one and they are very nice cars. I just couldn't part with the targa top.

At least he didn't get a mustang 
There are a ton of parts for the Camaro as well. I actually loved the ZL1 we had for a while

Well two months with the Camaro, less head room than a vette,,,, sold it and ordered a C7...should be here in August...sound mental to you. Just need speed, sports cars and damn the issues..made a mistake and drove a C7 at the track and there is nothing like the new Vette..burned the last straw....life's too short not to enjoy..

Thankfully I haven't had enough problems to make me want to part with my '10 C6; however, once bitten, I'd never be able to live without a Corvette - so, if I ever part with my C6 you can be sure it would be for another Vette. Good luck with the Camaro!

My 05 has had few troubles, but understand when you get one that has issue after issue it takes the fun out of ownership.
Good luck with your new Camero!

Can't blame the car for your too steep driveway.
Sounds like your troubles with the defroster may have been the results of a less than competent dealer's mechanic.
I have never used my defroster, and have had no repair issues. Lucky I guess.
Enjoy your new car.
