Last week, I decided to go look at the new Camaros. They're supposedly amazing cars, per multiple auto reviews and magazines. I am 24, a young professional, and I currently drive a car that is similar in cost to a new Camaro.

It took me 10 minutes of walking around the lot and the showroom to get help, only to be offered help after making eye contact with a salesperson, who reluctantly got out of his seat and took me to look at the Camaros.

Keep in mind, I was not buying that day unless they were to take me into the office and make me some outstanding deal. I asked to drive a Camaro, and the salesman flat-out refused, saying he would need to do a CREDIT CHECK just to even test drive the car. I pointed at my car, which I bought new 4 months ago, and said "that should be credit check enough." The salesman (I wish I would've gotten his name) said no, we couldn't drive one then.

Needless to say, I will not be looking to purchase a new Camaro from Tom Light Chevolet. I don't appreciate being profiled as a "young kid who wants to joy ride," and I certainly value my credit more than letting some small town car dealership ruin it with inquiries that are not necessary whatsoever. It's a Camaro, not a special-ordered Z06. If Tom Light values their business, then they'll discourage these types of tactics. Shameful.
