Commemorative from Europe

Hi all,
As a new here, below is my short Camaro realm entry story.
Three weeks ago, compulsively and unexpectedly, I got a red commemorative Camaro from a local Chevy-Cadillac dealer in Luxembourg. Waxed and shiny it was exposed by the dealer and I fell into trap;-), after two weeks for formalities, I took it (with a big smile on my face) for the first ride. I was looking for a new car for some time (no pressure though) – my old one served me well for 9 years and was still ok. I test-drove BMWs, Volvos, Mazda 6, Skodas (typical European mid-size daily use car dilemmas)…. and I ended up with Camaro! All the rest was… simply saying boooring!
For a while I considered waiting for the new 2016 model but then, reading about it: smaller, lighter, more modern etc., I thought I do not want these adjectives added to the current generation. This car, at least in Europe, is so… ridiculously impractical, almost outrageous – it makes me laughing at myself for getting it – a very pleasant feeling J And people seeing it here also smile – most of the time – with this kind of childish appreciation of a big new glittering toy J

What I like the most about this car after one week of driving it the driver's involvement (in comparison to very good but much civilized and kind of castrated "normal" contemporary cars).

I some time (I still need to educate myself a bit reading threads on this Forum) I may have some practical questions: looking forward to discussing them with you here and sharing pleasure of driving Camaro!
