I am not uptight , and don't get offended easily . That being said , this is the biggest and best Camaro forum on the net -- and allowing a post with a topic which will obviously be offensive to some people is a shame and makes this great forum look bad.

Scheunika (correct spelling) -- is the name of my beautiful , African American fiancée. And to make a racial joke about a black ZL1 referring it to an obvious African American name is poor judgement -- and classless.

It's like calling an S550 "Hitler" -- just distasteful and classless , not something that should be on the best camaro site on the web.

My fiancé is beautiful , and I thank god she doesn't read this forum , and it makes me sad -- the thought of her looking at me on a camaro forum , reading a topic calling a new 55k+ car "Shaniqua" -- because the car is black.

Shame on the people who think this is "funny" . If you have enough to spend on a ZL1 camaro Mr. Drake -- I suggest you spend a few bucks on etiquette classes.

are you serious? You have no idea the reasoning behind the name. You're making a huge assumption and I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "you know what happens when you assume." Drake hasn't once said he named his car "Shaniqua" because it's black.

I have never heard of the name Shaniqua in any context other than Drake using it as a name for his car.

I have yet to see ANY indication that it was meant to be derogitory (sp?) in ANY way to ANYONE intentionally.

Sometimes a name is just a name.

LooL that really makes me laugh... Are you really playing the race card about the name of a car?? Most ppl name their cars and theres nothing wrong with it.. You dont see me going around smashing cars that were named Jeanie-Marie...

There are bigger things in life to get upset about bro... The name of a guys car isn't one of them...

We all need to just smile and get along...

Your post is the only thing I find offensive so I won't quote it again... It's obvious by your sign in date you haven't been here long enough to even have a clue where the name came from. You only noticed when it showed up on a thread title.

Shame on you for even going there... I would consider it an honor to have my name associated w/ a ZL1...

If someone names their white car Bianca should I be offended because I am of Italian descent? I am 100% USA!
