Just wanted to thank Adam and Donna for taking the time to stop out at Weber's today. They let us poke & prod the car like there was no tomorrow. I think many of us learned a lot about the car and we appreciate the chance that Adam, Donna, and GM gave us for that opportunity.

The car was really cool. It was a 2LT with a lot of the accessories. I loved the two-tone gray interior. Gives the car a much more spacious feel.

I found out today what I've been wondering for about a year.
A Palm Pilot will not synch up with the USB system.
I plugged my Palm T/X into the USB and the stereo said something like; "Device not supported. You may unplug now". Something like that. Unless I was doing something wrong.
But then I slipped my AC/DC Highway To Hell disc in the player and cranked it. After some quick tone adjustments, it sounded really good and it was loud.
If I had some more time to play with the settings and all their luggage wasn't in the car, it would have sounded better.

Oh, and I got to ride in it. It was only for about 20 feet and in reverse, but it was a ride nonetheless.

Overall, a very cool day and I met some great people.

Thanks again everyone.

TStko · 04-22-2009, 05:51 PM

Thanks Adam & Donna.
I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to sit in this car until mine came in a few weeks. Overall I was impressed. True enough it's limited visibility, however by making some seat adjustments that can be fixed easily, besides it's a Camaro, not a family sedan. It felt very sporty. The car has some great lines. I have some HD video and pics of the ambient lighting was good to see fellow enthusiasts out there. Some may or may not like this comment but the V6 was extremely quiet. When i say quiet i mean much quieter than expected. I could only imagine it drives like a comfy luxury vehicle. True enough i'd like to hear a growl of a V8 but as an EVERYDAY driver having something that quiet is not so bad either. I'll out the ambient lighting pics on tonight. Before anyone gets bent out of shape key word is suttle, not a big flashing light that says EAT AT JOES. lol

Sean_W · 04-22-2009, 06:07 PM

Ok, here's the photos I took today..

I'd like to thank Adam as well. I really didn't expect to be able to spend that much time with the car, but I was in and out of it quite a few times. It was so nice to actually experiance the car like this. If you have the chance, you should meet up with adam and the car if he's coming through your town.

Enjoy...

It was nice meeting you today Adam thanks for bringing the car by!!

HuJass · 04-22-2009, 06:31 PM

Man, we were there for a long time today.
I got there about 11:10 AM and left about 3:30 PM.
Lots to look at and lots to play with.

demomaster,
You were there today?
Did I meet you?
Did you know Fusz got a RJT in? They're probably delivering it right now. I wonder if it was the one you saw in the railyard in Wentzville.

HuJass · 04-22-2009, 06:36 PM

Sean,
Great pics. Thanks for taking all those.

Boomer Sooner · 04-22-2009, 07:20 PM

Damnit Im near Tulsa and want to see this Camaro!

cerberus · 04-22-2009, 08:59 PM

Hello all, I just got home and I all I can say is Sham Wow!!

It was so great meeting Adam and Donna along with all the people from Camaro 5. Adam and Donna I would like to say Thank You again for stopping here in St. Louis and letting us check-out the car for 3 plus hours. It was great fun and there is a lot to this car and it is just an awesome car. I really loved the interior (Gray/Black) leather. The ABL is very nice and it is very subtle, but adds class to the car... You may notice that on Page 3 of Sean_W pictures Adam came up with a great idea of putting the car cover on to make it dark so we could see the interior lights so we got in the car and took pictures, Great idea Adam. As for the back seat, it was not bad for me (5'7") with someone around 6'1" in the front and they said the front was comfortable. I wouldn't want to stay for an hour in the back under these conditions but for a 20 or 30 minute ride it would not be bad. Once the front seat was moved up the back for me was very comfortable and I would not mind it for a longer drive. Once again thanks Adam and Donna you guys Rock..

Have a great rest of the trip and hope you meet a lot of Camaro5ers on the way.

My Ta is the WS6 clone and Johns is the other one. John took these shots.

Guys... my gosh.

I'm so zonked, and at a total loss for words -- I'm exhausted in the most fulfilling way imaginable. It's an incredible opportunity to be able to share a car like this with its fans. I'm blessed to be able to do this on a semi-frequent basis.

The Camaro5 crew is quality. I wish I'd had a few more moments to share words with you guys, and hope that I've been 'adopted' into the crew even though I'm not an owner (yet

). Here's hoping OKC and Dallas go well tomorrow. We might even have to stream audio on tomorrow's feed, too. We'll see.

Ozarkkawi -- I was wracked with guilt as we rolled through Rolla because I remembered your post but we never traded contact info. I'm so glad you had the chance to 'roll in formation' -- if you'd'a blinked your brights, I would've pulled over to let you and the Mrs. have a look.

Don't worry guys, it'll be in your hands soon enough. The trick is to make sure y'all stay in touch with each other years into the ownership experience. I think you'll be just fine.

By the way, the ambient lighting pack isn't as subtle as I remember it tonight... it's pretty noticeable in pitch black

Onward! Hope you guys will watch the stream!

ozarkkawi · 04-23-2009, 06:22 AM

Adam ,Don't sweat not stopping. I knew you were behind schedule. It shows you are a class act by staying overtime in STL to let camaro5 memebers actually get to 'kick the tires".

Our original plan was to take off work early and hop on the bikes and "stalk" you to springfield, but unbreakable plans came up.It was still a fun experience,we had our two boys tracking your live feed and relaying your progress.When you came out from under the overpass, the Mrs. came unglued.Thanks again.

94YellowTAGT · 04-23-2009, 07:28 AM

Adam,

I hope your dinner was not to cold by the time we let you go.

Thanks,

highmileage · 04-23-2009, 09:11 AM

Kawi... that is an incredible story. Thank you so much for following us -- that is EXACTLY what we envisioned when we decided to experiment with this technology.

John/Kevin, no worries... I had more of a hassle negotiating for croissants as a side dish... lol!

Into OKC soon. Good live stream with audio! Check in when you can!

Spine Tingler · 04-23-2009, 10:40 AM

Wonderful car, thanks for taking the time to show me. Looking forward to getting ours on the streets. BTW, here is my DD till then (and what she pulls). Thanks again bro!

Garywyatt · 04-23-2009, 12:44 PM

Sorry I didn't let you know I was coming Adam. I never post without pics! Thanks for stopping.

racingray68 · 04-23-2009, 12:53 PM

The 69 is still way tougher looking.

highmileage · 04-23-2009, 01:41 PM

Hey Guys! Will be at ADM Performance in less than an hour. Hope to see you there! Will be leaving ADM at 4 p.m.! stickam.com/highmileage

ADM PERFORMANCE · 04-23-2009, 02:55 PM

ITS HERE

highmileage · 04-25-2009, 01:13 PM

Tulsa, OKC, and Dallas crew -- you guys rock. Thank you so much for assembling. I hope you'll follow my adventures on Twitter and stay in touch.

Meeting you guys was incredibly meaningful and certainly a highlight of my career -- we'll do this again! Convertible, perhaps?
