Ahhh sema. Its on my bucket list.

Thanks me too....I wanted one of those my entire life (well pretty much...lol)....Finally found a perfect (1 owner) car to restore in 1991 and I have loved it every day since

I didn't get to attend SEMA unfortunately either (it's on my list too)....But with all the pictures that Adam's Polishes posted from SEMA this year I almost feel like I was there, that's how I saw the wheels

I finally got to go to SEMA in 2012. It was on my list forever ..... Another C5 forum member was kind enough to hook me up with the tickets so I couldn't pass up the opportunity! I highly recommend going if you get the chance..... I also suggest getting in shape physically before you go. I wasn't amd it took me a week or so to feel normal again... It is 3 days of walking and standing with no places to sit or rest ....... The other part of the show, AAPEX, didn't do much for me and I would have rather stayed at SEMA.....

I bet that was amazing......I can see where you would walk MILES at that place !

Glad you got to go

I can't decide when to sell my 2012 2LT convertible for the C7. I almost listed it for sale last week, but for now, I have my Camaro and here she is...

Nice! And Good to see you here in land.

The new Stingray is quite awesome... I spent 2 days drooling over it this past weekend at the Chicago auto show and it's ten times more attractive in person. Seeing it in & out all secures my decision to also get one. And I don't care what anyone says about the rear, it's beautiful in live view... worthy of staring at all day long. :madgrin:

I hydroplaned mine on US-281 last Monday when it started raining. I was doing about 65mph when the backend lost complete traction came around and pointed me at the median. As soon as my front tires caught the grass, I finished about a 270° spin while sliding through the grass of the median...

Pics below.

Pic 1 - At the edge of the median there are skinny white plastic pylons with reflectors. I hit one with the front passenger's side quarter panel prior to the slip-n-slide grass median

Pic 2 - The freshly cut grass that covered the side of my car (it was all over both sides)

Pic 3 - All the fresh-cut grass and dirt inside one wheel. All four wheels looked the same...

I got all kinds of lucky that the only damage to my car was the quarter panel and that's it. It could've been much worse...

^ Glad to know you're okay! Fenders & quarters can be replaced.... limbs, organs, well-being, etc... not so easily.

Thanks....

I am going to try and make it to the Atlanta show next month 3/14-3/17...can't wait to see it in person! The rear is growing on me...so by the time they are actually in production, it will be even better!

Looks like threads are showing in the pic.

[CamaroSkooter]

I dunno, the car's at the body shop. But I'll take a look when I get it back

Only $820 worth of damage...

[GaBoy25]

You got off well....well considering the circumstances.

The force has been strong with you :sad:

[CamaroSkooter]

Surprisingly, I didn't really freak out when the back end came around. It was more of a, "huh...that's not right..."

[moserbe]

Yep. 2012 SS LS3.
