Same here i will be the first one at work to own one and i have yet to see any in my area so it will be fun and interesting to say the least. I already have a bunch of people at work that want rides and drive it(yeah like that is going to happen) i will be giving rides in it no prob. here but as far as letting someone drive it NOT.

Such a beautiful day today in SE PA. My wife and I took a drive through West Chester and decided to stop for a drink at a street side cafe'. Sipping a brew in eyeshot where I parked, it was a blast to see the passersby stop, and look, and smile. Literally 20 different people stopped their walk to take a better look (some into the windows). My wife and I could not count the amount of "thumbs up" and "nice car" comments we heard today. I even got a wave and "thumbs up" from a teal Mustang driver.

World peace is eminent!

"PERMAGRIN"

the further I drive and the more compliments I get...

I will say it yet again, this car is a "happy pill" and I wish GM could "bottle" the joy and elation I feel every time I go anywhere in my "ROCKETSHIP"...

I even had the best compliment today of the entire 3 months of owning my "baby" and that was by a teenager in a very "fast and tricked out" Mustang, and he says to me, "I bet that car is FAST"...(keep in mind I have the 2LT/RS V6)...I don't even bother telling people anymore that it's not an SS if they don't ask, because most people don't "get it" when I try to explain that the RS is a V6...

So, I tell this kid that "Yes, this car is very fast for ME, and much faster than the last car I drove, and I bet your car is very fast too"(I try to be polite and respectful to all car enthusiasts)...he says to me, which I still cannot believe, "I think your car is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy faster than mine"...can anyone believe this kid???...I said, yes, it's a "ROCKETSHIP" to me...

Have I ever mentioned to anyone on this forum that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,

this car!!!!!!!............

(maybe once or twice...lol...)

Glad this car is treating you right. You of all people on these forums deserve it.

We went to Sports Clips to get hubby's hair cut. The girls had to come out and see the Camaro when we left. They asked him to drive it by the front so they could see it up close. Everywhere we go, people gawk, some with mouths wide open. The Camaro is is the most beautiful car on the road. A stunning beauty.

THUMPER20X · 09-03-2009, 06:28 PM

I attend a huge car show every week and past 2 weeks I've taken the Maro there. It really gets looked at. Its really just a bonus because Ive loved these damn things since my first one in 1990. I love how the Camaro is getting some well deserved attention after all this time.

OMG, thank you SO MUCH for saying that...you guys ROCK MY WORLD!!!...I LOVE MY CAMARO and I LOVE the great people who built my "ROCKETSHIP"...

TooCool5 · 09-03-2009, 06:48 PM

Everyone everywhere I go give a thumbs up or want to talk, or say they too had a Camaro in High School.
This car is the perfect medicine to put a bounce in your step and just enjoy meeting and talking to people. ALWAYS a positive response.
Someone in a passing car today shouted LOOK A CORVETTE!

"prima"Donna · 09-03-2009, 06:48 PM

Thank you everyone for knowing EXACTLY what I'm talkin' 'bout...

AND, to all of you out there that are still patiently waiting for their car to arrive, believe me and every other 5th Gen Camaro owner, THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!!!...you will all(soon, I hope)know EXACTLY what I mean...

I will be just as happy when you get your cars as I am for myself...

This car and all my "forum buddies" are my tickets to HAPPINESS!!!...

I cannot believe the love and support that the Camaro community has shown to me, a total stranger, all brought together for the

LOVE

of the CAMARO...

What an amazing group of "Camaro Comrades", as the

Fbodfather

calls us...

edog · 09-03-2009, 08:07 PM

I love my ride. I am like the rest of you. I love talking about it and showing it off. I get compliments everywhere I go.

I was coming through baltimore a month ago at night. There was a 370Z driving erratically trying to catch up with me. My wife and I could hear the passenger yelling out the window about how much she loved the car. They were taking pictures and doing loving gestures. I just kept grinning.

Tanner · 09-03-2009, 08:11 PM

I can't get gas without someone walking over and wanting to see it. The other day these guys were in a pickup and I saw them driving by and pointing and all their heads were turned. I looked back and they were half way accross the middle line before they swerved back on the right side. I almost caused an accident.

Road_Warrior85 · 09-03-2009, 08:15 PM

Hell you guys are lucky

I all but get ignored everywhere I go in mine.

On top of that, I am in small town Alabama... population of maybe 15,000.
I have seen 4 other Camaros running around the streets here too.

Cullman Alabama.... Any of you on here?

TooCool5 · 09-03-2009, 08:25 PM

Chevy pickup drivers love this car.
Was in a diner yesterday and guy with his son get out of the truck and start doing 360's walking around the car. Pickups also pull along side me on the highway, looking and pointing.
