Owner, Dealership Come to Agreement on Wrecked Car

The owner of a rare Chevrolet Camaro is getting a new ride after chronicling his frustrations online during a back-and-forth with the dealership whose employee wrecked his car.
 
The News Journal of Wilmington reports problems started when John Hooper took his Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to First State Chevrolet in Georgetown for a paint repair. An employee took the car out for a joyride and hit a telephone pole.
 
Hooper says the dealership's managers denied responsibility, blaming the employee. Hooper could have blown a gasket.
 
Instead, he shifted gears and posted his story on the website camaro5.com, which led to negative publicity.
 
Now, Hooper and the dealership have a deal. He'll get a 2013 and make the same payments he'd been making on his 2012 model
