Time flies by doesn't it Donna? It was three years ago yesterday (May 18, 2009) that I ordered mine sight-unseen; hadn't even seen IBM. The next 3 months were spent anxiously waiting, checking the build codes, hounding the forum watching and reading all the stuff on the "new" Camaro.
Here's what Blue Angel looked like when I picked her up (I asked them not to wash it so they wouldn't put swirl marks in it): And here's what she looks like a couple weeks ago at the track: Love this car. Best car I've ever owned. And I may be a bit biased, but I feel we have the best owners/drivers and forum on the internet. You were a big part of those early days with greeting so many of the new members. Glad to see you're still just as enthusiastic about your Camaro, because I know I sure am with mine. Grats Donna!!!

Donna, Congrats on your 3 years.
I was at the "Cruizin Ocean City Md" 3,000 car cruise (see mid atlantic group) this week-end, and saw another 5th gen with your exact plate: hway-str. I thought it was you but it was a MD plate. They say Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Thanks Baldman!!!!...:blush: :blush: this car truly is the fountain of youth, because I feel like the same kid that owned the Firebird back in my 20s... I love this quote: "we don't stop playing because we get old...we get old because we stop playing" In that case, I'll stay young as long as I am driving it like I stole it in my HWAY STR!!!

Thanks Doc...I ordered mine sight unseen too, because I placed the order before production began...I had never seen one in person, sat in one, or driven one... I have to say once again that this car is the happiest car I have ever owned and driven in my life I remember those early days as everyone started getting their cars after the 'waiting patiently and anxiously' to join the ' happy owners' club' I've missed you Doc, but I'm never far away...I may not post as much as I used to, but I still check in everyday to see whats new... LOVE LOVE LOVE your Blue Angel...you have outdone yourself with the awesome additions to what was already perfection...hope you enjoy many more miles and smiles in your car too!!!
