My first "Bumblebee" experience. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Driving up my street a couple nights ago, there was a little boy on his bike with training wheels and his mom was walking him across the street. When he saw my car, he stopped and stood up on his pedals and started screaming "MOM MOM!! IT'S A BUMBLEBEE CAR!!!".
Thought that was pretty cool. My wife and son waved to him and he was thrilled, like he had just seen the most amazing thing in the world.

Just thought I'd share.

The wonders of the mind of a child...if only we could retain that somehow.

Lol that's awesome! I got the same reaction from a school bus full of kids the other day. They all yelled "BumbleBee" and "Look at that Camaro!". Pretty cool. Too bad they will turn into haters!

Same only ive been called the green bumblebee. Its nice when kids notice you. At my first car show a kid said, "Dad this is my car I like the green bumblebee". I was lucky enough to overhear him. Awesome.
Seems like the 5th gen will always get the looks from kids and some adults. I know I look at mine and say, "Its my Transformer" and smile.

Yea - on the day i brought the car home this kid came running over asking me if to, "put the gas to 100 like bumblebee" lol.

I was on the phone with OnStar at the time & they did not seem entertained lol

I get a lot of thumbs-up from motorcycle riders. Today a guy on a Ducati pulled up next to me at a red light and gave me the thumbs up. I was like, damn, that's a nice bike.
