1st Muscle Car ever and 1st time buying brand new

So, I am new to the Camaros too

I wanted a blue car; and had wanted the RS package but my payments, down payments and price wasn't in my favor for ordering a car so instead they found me a car right there on the lot that actually had everything but the color HOWEVER it matches my Honda Ridgeline so I couldn't refuse :P and so I plan to mod my Ridgeline to match the Camaro

I wouldn't ordinarily buy a brand new car just because of the face value instantly falls off like a iron rock that can't ever be picked up :P but I knew that whatever Camaro I was buying was a keeper and be passed down to my sister who wants a Camaro.

I had a choice between a used F-250 Diesel truck (which I want/need) or the Camaro; so I chose the Camaro for now.

Alright so here it is:

(since I still cannot link directly to my gallery on the NAS I have to link to it rather than embed it :( for now).

2014 Camaro 2LT RS (and no I don't park it in the carport; it goes in the garage now).

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Yes that's my ride my first brand new car ever purchased like I said I typically would never buy a brand new car; but I'd buy one with 10k miles on it but I couldn't find any 2013 or even 2012 perhaps or any 2014 with that kind of miles that anyone wanted to sell in my price range let alone being automatic.

This is the car I am keeping to pass to my sister; I eventually would like to get a ZL1 if GM makes them in 5-10 years from now.

BTW I have a Silver Honda Ridgeline as you can see in the picture; I want to see if I can find someone to exact match the twin stripe exactly like the Camaro and put it on my Ridgeline.

feel? I'm not sure I can describe that; its obviously not angry :P

Its different than most cars; rather than "yay I bought a new car" its like "hey!!! I bought a REALLY NICE SPECIAL car!"

barely have 600 miles on mine right now; trying to get the 1k miles it needs for break in before I get any rougher with it let alone mod it much as well.

Dznts; thanks, your car almost looks as if it was from Dukes of Hazzard (well at least the COLOR; but obviously your car is much more modern than that) ever seen it?
