LA Times Article On the 2010 Camaro SS

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-f...5412852.column

I thought it was an interesting read. I need to go hide it from my mother, so that she does not thow a fit when she finds out how fast it is.

What are a redneck's last words?

"Hey, y'all, watch this!"

--Think that was him after he was dusted by a Camaro SS while driving/reviewing the new Mustang.

That's pretty funny, I bet he drives a Prius.

I love how he falls back on all the bad steriotypes, personally I don't drink beer, I keep my hair in a high & tight, I have plenty of tattoos but no barbed wire, I don't smoke, I can afford my own cable thank you very much, don't have room for the stuffed deer heads ( I would have to remove a big screen lcd or three, and skittles are much larger and more colorful than birth control pills , thank you ! Whew .... did I get them all ?

I just hate that all of these Ca. jouralists make it seem like everyone in Ca. is a leftwing tree hugging bunny lover ! Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to destroy the enviroment, but for the love of Pete ! I want a real car !!!! So until GM makes the Converj I will have to settle for the Camaro to get my kicks ! : )

Dan Neil, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Neil
Biography
Neil was born in Pennsylvania in 1960 but moved with his family to New Bern, North Carolina when he was 4 years old. He received a B.A. degree in Creative Writing from East Carolina University and an M.A. degree in English Literature from North Carolina State University. He is married (Tina Larsen) and has twin daughters, Rosalind and Vivienne. He has a 23-year-old son, Henry Neil, from his first marriage.


East Carolina and N.C. State - not exactly bastions of the intellectual...

i thought it was a humorous article. Several times he made me think "lol hes right".

Quote:
Indeed, the SS zips down the speedway on pace with the Subaru WRX STi. The difference: The Subie sounds like an RC airplane and the Camaro sounds like a gasoline-powered Gatling gun.
