Thumbs down

G3 Composites llc due to the length of time to obtain parts; 13 months and still waiting Spent large $$$$; I do believe this company has taken on too much business. All I see is greed along with poor work ethics.

You have a very diverse family in terms of car choices! My mom has a Honda, my dad drove a Honda... My sister has a Honda. Her boyfriend has a Honda... And I have a Camaro. But I used to have Honda sport bikes.

I'm with you man. I ordered stuff in February of last year. Still waiting on some parts. Was told for the past 5 months, it's about to ship

With kids on board. See this at least 3X every day and I have a short commute. Just unreal.
And then, see, those same drivers drive 10 under the speed limit on Sundays when they have no where to be, and you're in a hurry and behind them, they look at you like you're the A hole.

We all share the same hobby, respect is received when it is given and it just may be that the "ricer" next to you has a faster POS than yours.
Guilty here. I say all Mustangs are POS's. But, let me explain a little, I've been a pretty die hard Chevy fan for a long time. Started with trucks. Chevy vs Ford, and sometimes we'd let Dodge play. But that was a respectful rivalry that carried over into muscle cars for me. So even though I might rag on the Challenger/Charger and the Mustang, it's not actual hate because I look at other cars as insignificant and waste of time and aren't even worth getting in a pissing contest with. Where as the American muscle cars are worth getting in a pissing contest with. Friendly rivalry.

Like football. I often say bad things about the cow college down the road from me, but I sure as hell would have preferred if they had won the BCS championship in January and brought the trophy home for a fifth straight year. Friendly rivalry.


PS, I half considered a Rustang back in '05, maybe it was '06. And frankly, if the Camaro hadn't come back I bet I would have bought a Challenger.

Just because it says Camaro doesn't mean it will take out the imports.
You know, that's how it used to be. Without turbos that story would be way different.

What grinds my gears? People who knock of the restroom door to ask me a question. Seriously? ! You couldn't wait till I was done to ask if I want a bowl of ice cream? ! Seriously? !! Don't bug me unless the house is burning down or there's a medical emergency. LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME READ IN PEACE!

Tailgaters.
People who drive up the right shoulder to make a right turn at a red light instead of waiting to reach the turn lane.
People who merge on BEFORE the blend area.
People who block people from merging AT the blend area.
People who change lanes into a blend area while cars are trying to merge.
People who park their cars on the shoulder with for-sale signs on them.
People who don't stop at flashing red signals before proceeding.
People who try to back-up on exit ramps when they've taken the wrong one.
People who ALWAYS back-in when parking.
People who congregate at the bottom/top of stairs/escalators.
People who don't let people off an elevator before they try to get on.
People who walk through a door you've held open for them and don't pay it forward to the person behind them.
People who have their face in their phone when you're trying to talk to them.
People who leave their dog's shit everywhere for someone else to deal with.
People who think Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Dominos, et al., make good pizza.
When people use we while describing the exploits of the team they follow.
When people say "I seen..." instead of "I've seen...", or "I saw..."
When people say "broke" instead of "broken".
When people use double-negatives incessantly.
When people NEVER pronounce the "g" when speaking words that end in "-ing".
When people say "I could care less..."
When people use "text-speak" when posting or emailing.
When people use "ur" for your, when it clearly means "you are" or you're.
When people refer to convertibles as "verts".
People who refuse to punctuate.
When people with apparently no life go on and on about all the annoying things that other people do or say and they never do or say.

I forgot one:
When the third reason a person got rid of his Camaro was because other Camaro owners stopped waving.

Make that two:
When camaro5.com doesn't recognize "Camaro" as a word...
