This is ME!

Those feet were made for smashing pedals..


Here is how I got back into the Camaro world.

My dad was huge into Camaros. He owned one as long as I can remember.
This is my first pic next to a Camaro. Can you guess what kind?

Here is my dad and me around the same age. Both next to our favorite!

I lost my Dad in 1999. He was only 43 years old. He never got the chance to appreciate the 5th Gens. I'm sure he would have LOVED them.

My first Camaro was a 1976 Black Z28. It was a former drag car, and ran like a well used drag car should. Horrible! The wipers didn't work, it got around 1/4mile per gallon....I loved it!
Fast forward a few years, kids, and a few dozon Camaros.
My last F-body was a 1997 Camaro Z28. Awesome car!
I had to trade it in when I got out of the Air Force.
I tried to get an '02 SS before they discontinued my favorite car, but was unable to....

One day in the summer of 2011, my awesome wife told me "shut up and go buy a camaro"
I was set on a 1LS in IOM.....until I saw this!

Drove it, loved it, had to have it.
I bought the car. 2011 1SS. No options but the stripes.
I had the car for a few days, until the dealer called and wanted to change the terms on the loan. Later that day, I dropped the car off and walked away.
After 10 more years of searching, (actually about 4 hours) I found the ONE!
It was exactly what I wanted. 2011 Summit White 1SS/RS LS3 with Hurst Shifter and Polished wheels. The dealer was a few hours away, but they already had the windows tinted, and could deliver it in the morning! SOLD!

Above was the only thing I had to see.
It was in my driveway the next morning.


more to come....
