I'm a "wow" virgin. I'm gonna love every single moment if it! Most of the first day I drive it to work will be spent out in the parking lot showing it to everybody. Then I'll have to stay late to show it to all the second shifters.

Second shifters. I can hear it now. "If you work really hard and apply yourself you can get on first shift and afford one of these babys".

All the thumbs ups and questions of what kind of car is that? and the astonished looks when I sad "It's a Saturn" were priceless. Still to this day I get the same reaction from some people.

I was lucky to score one of the first special 1k Solstices (#83), I was the only one for three months (Sky was months away). I got my 06 Solstice on 8/26/05, people did not know what it was, but they loved it. The Camaro will bring the same reaction. I am on my third Solstice now, if you ever have the need for a true American roadster, may I highly suggest the Solstice GXP.

Since the two local dealers were allotted a total of 5 between them, and neither took preorders, it's possible I may be one of the first to own one in my area.

Every other dealer is about an hour away (I ordered from one of those).

Unless it takes them 3, 4, 5 or more months to get me mine anyway... That would give the two local ones the chance to sell anything they MAY have gotten in that time.

I look forward to losing my 'wow virginity'. LOL

Lol, I owned Solstice number 111. Very close!!

The preorder process is a bitch. I'm very surprised that I'm going through it again with the Camaro. Hopefully this turns out better for me. I sold my Solstice after having for about 3 months.

I had very similar experiences. Many people came up to me and said, "That's a Pontiac?!?!?". Quite funny.

I agree! My Solstice GXP is a great car, and I would choose it over any other car to drive as a fun second car

I was a lucky owner of a SSR BLack and Black #36.
Got it the year that it was the pace car at the Coke a Cola 600.
All kinds of lookers.
Had one time we parked way out in the boons at a store.
Came out and saw a lot of cars and people out by it. When we got there the first thing they said is can we see the top go down. HA HA

It was a lot of fun and great way to help pump up GM vehicles.

Am looking forward to a similar experience with my Camaro 2SS/RS. When I finally get it.
