That's a great story :thumbsup:

Almost sounds like me. Always loved transformers and the first time i laid eyes on the new camaro, my heart pumped so fast and my jaw dropped to the ground. Like you, it was the first car that i can say that i wanted sooooo bad. I did so much research after the movie, that i ordered as soon as i heard they were releasing to make sure i got everything i wanted. Still almost 2 years now, i still cant believe i own the car of my dreams. I always have to stare at it for 30 minutes just to grasp the beauty and i hope this feeling never stops <3<3<3

By the way, your Aqua Blue Metallic Camaro is NICE! I've only seen 1 of those rolling around in my area... As a matter of fact, I saw that color Camaro in person for the very first time last week. |
Great story! Loved the "objects in the mirror" line. My husband knows that when I have to have something, I have to have it. Fortunately it doesn't happen real often, but when I saw that concept car in 2006 I told him I had to have it. Two days after ordering began in 2008, having never seen the car in "real life", my order was placed. (at list price thank you H&H Chevy) Beautiful car, welcome to the family!

Here comes the hard part...which mod do you do first. Funny you said that about the TRON line. My buddy said that my car looks like its from TRON.. he said it looks computer generated and looks not real driving down the road. Thats the goal, make it unique and have fun in the process.

-updated-
Over the weekend I added: GM Autobot Center Caps Radio Face Cover Headlight Protector Light tube and LED's were ordered for Ambient Lighting in the dash; to match the ABL in the doors... can't wait! |
Great story! Congrats on YOUR Camaro!
|
Thanks everyone... I've updated the "journal" with a pic of the new "Quarter Panel Gill Scoop Inserts"... I have the light pipe from Ofer, but I'm still waiting on LED's to arrive so I can start the ABL in the dash. :)
