Why Camaro owners are like Mac owners

Being a techie/tech professional, this just kind of dawned on me one day - Camaro owners are kind of like Mac owners.

-We are crazy about our Camaros (Macs) and most of us like to make fun of the competition, be it Mustangs or Challengers or whatever (Windows machines). I don't personally do this, but it's generally true.

-Camaro owners get crazy attention from other people. I've used both Macs and Windows machines in public and I've gotten compliments on my iBook (back in the day) and MacBook Pro plenty of times...never on a Dell though.

-Camaro owners spend most of their time on Camaro5 talking to like-minded people. Mac owners tend to do the same thing with sites like macrumors.com or The Unofficial Apple Weblog or any other Mac fansite.

-Camaro owners LOVE their cars. It's not just means of transportation to them, it's a way of living. This goes for Mac owners as well - a Mac isn't just a computer, it's a lifestyle for some people.

-When a new Mac comes out, it's backordered for weeks. Do I really even need to say how this compares to the 5th generation Camaro?

That's about all for now.

And just as a note...I know I have to put this in here because I've seen what happens when people don't: this is not a Mac vs PC/OS X vs Windows thread. If anyone comes in here Mac bashing or Windows bashing or claiming that Linux is God's gift to modern computing, I may have to use this
