Coming Home

I won’t bore ya but long story short the wife needed something stronger and I was tired of Chicago winters so I traded my Camaro for a pick up truck. After a few years I’ve had the urge to get back into a Camaro and I cannot wait. ZL1 is the only option for me and I’m claiming it. Pics of the Camaro I had below.

Where in Chicago?? Looks like South (maybe near Frankfort?) or a similar area? I spent over 40 years living in Chicago (grew up there), I miss it but the wife won't go back...

Hyper Blue was one of the best blue paints I've ever seen. So beautiful in full sun.

Yea I figured going back to a 2SS was not worth it. Plus the refresh on the fascia is cringeworthy

RIptide blue looks very similar from the photos, can't wait to see one in person.

Garnet red is still my absolute favorite, such a royal, luscious deep and red, popping amazingly in the sun that I just had to choose it when I ordered, but it was a very close call between that and hyper blue in the all-time list of most amazing paint colors.
