Wedding Worthy... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So after working at my job for about 5 weeks, every single one of my co-workers have noticed my car. This one co-worker that I work with most of the time is getting married next week and was originally going to use his truck as the "Just Married" car. Instead, he asked if I could borrow my car during the day of the marriage because of how nice it is. He said he would be honored to drive away in such a hot ride. I told him yes of course because I think it is cool that he wants my car in the first place. Just letting all of you C5 users how nice and well liked our cars truly are!

I understand how you can think that. Personally, he takes great care of his car so I'm not worried about anything. Thankfully it's only for a few hours.

You know what? That's the start of the great memories, so why not.

I went over the rules already... I told them don't do anything stupid. This car is my pride and joy and I won't tolerate any misconduct with the car.

Hmm, I know it's not their car, but try recommending this:

Tell him to specifically warn the wedding party, too - I'd be more concerned about them than the bride & groom. If it were me I'd say cans tied off well behind the bumper is okay, but scribbling "JUST MARRIED!!!" on every pane of glass is a big no-no.

Good on ya, OP. I actually offered the same thing to my brother who's getting married in a month. He turned it down, though - instead he's going with a contact a friend of ours has, who rented our friend a 1927 Rolls Royce for the afternoon of his wedding in May! $50 for the day! Definitely a better deal.

My car is not allowed within 500 yards of any wedding. Neither am I.

Nice man! Just out of curiosity.. Are window markers bad for windows?

Lazerbrainz2k3 · 07-01-2011, 06:03 AM

Oh it was beautiful - gleaming pearl white, chrome & gold trim, looked like it just came out of a museum. Or through a time warp from the RR factory 85 years ago.

I don't know if marking them up is necessarily BAD for them - I mean this is the time of year when all the newly-graduated high school girls are writing all kinds of congratulatory insanity on their cars after all, and that always seems to go away without leaving anything - but I don't want to end up cleaning it off myself almost as much as I don't want to risk damage. Call me overly concerned, haha.

Besides the classic image of getting married is of the happy couple driving away in a Ford Thunderbird convertible or something, anyway, where there was no glass to mark up. Do you think if you trade up to a convertible "for them" they'll cover the difference?

I'd never let anyone drive my cars, unless I'm in it myself... or unless they have the same car.

10 days after I got my 1LT in may of 09 I got married and we drove off in it, but I told her to tell everyone glass chalk or whatever and they might see the hulk, luckily no harm was done

cab2g · 07-01-2011, 11:39 AM

My goal was to have my car before the wedding, but due to shady dealings from one dealer, I had to cancel my order and go through another. It arrived a month too late, but yeah, the car is definitely wedding worthy!
