Reunited!
And it feels so good... Ha! On to the story...
I bought a 2LT in December and sold it in April so I could buy my 2SS. The girl I sold it to lives in Fayetteville, NC which is about 115 miles or so from where I live and today I was driving through North Myrtle Beach, SC and saw an IBM LT/RS car sitting on the outskirts of a Cracker Barrel parking lot. I said to my girlfriend, "That's exactly like my old car." As I turned around to look, I noticed the exhaust tips sticking out a couple inches farther than stock and said, "That is my old car! Turn around!!" So we turned around and a quick check of the VIN affirmed my belief. I was reunited with my first love and she was looking damn good! I wish I was in my SS to take a pic of the two of them together, but oh well. Maybe I'll bump into it again later today or this week.

Awesome! I had an old CBR F3 that I sold and then 6 months later saw it in a parking lot. Except it was forsale for parts. The guy had totaled it. :(

I do too. And it's totally my own fault.

Looks like the girl you sold it to is taking care of it. Do you have any of those Camaro5.com calling cards? May have been nice to get her one of those so you could have kept in touch with your old Camaro.
Nice story.

But yeah, it was spotless even after the rain we had this morning. Very happy about that and that she's parking it way way way out so nobody dings it. I was thinking too that if this is indeed the last time I see it, it's a much better memory than watching it drive down the road with somebody other than me behind the wheel. It's hard to believe you can get so attached to a car, but yeah, it definitely happened.

So I had a lot of free time at work today and thought to myself, "I know he said he posted the story on camaro5.. what can I search to find the post?.. Cracker Barrel!"
That beauty in that picture is my new baby! I'd like to think she likes her new life with me lol! I'm so flattered that you all think I'm taking such good care of it! That car is my pride and joy! |
