I was told to expect delivery in Mid April. That's after being built on 2/7.

My brain is hurting from this Rollercoaster ride. Someone please stop the ride and let me get off and into my new convertible camaro and drive off into the sunset!!!!!!!!!!

I've got wishful thinking that mine will be delivered to the dealership today and I will have it this weekend!!!!!!!!! But with all the delays I probably won't get it for another 2 weeks. That seems to be my luck. Maybe it is because my VIN ends in 13!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I will be left in this room all alone......Angella gets her vert today!!!!!!!!!! She got to sit in it last night.
Just got an e-mail from the dealership. They still have no idea when it will be shipped to them.
I am beginning to feel like a MUSHROOM.......Kept in the dark and fed sh!t all day!!!!!!
When I leave this room I will turn out the lights and lock the door.
Hopefully soon.....Very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!! How many miles do you have on it and where have you been in it since you got it?
I need to get my car so I can slow down on purchasing Mods for it. I am running out of room at the house!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I will just open up a
2011 Convertible Camaro MOD STORE.

Hang in there buddy, keep the faith. You're not alone, we're pulling for you. We know how stressful it is waiting, but when you get your car, it'll all be good......REALLY GOOD. These cars are awesome. Can't wait to see pics of your triple black vert. It's going to be very cool.

Looking good Lycanine! I see your plan is coming together. You've been busy.

No mods yet for me. I can't stop driving mine long enough to do anything but wash it every once in a while, and take a few pictures of it. Here's mine.

WOW! That should seriously be a promo picture. That is absolutely beautiful! Love it!

I have 29XX miles on it (it's my daily driver) and besides driving all over Jax lol, I made a little trip to Tallahassee to visit some old college friends

I absolutely love this car, the driving experience is second to none! The speed is amazing and she is very, very comfortable on long drives.
What mods are you storing up? Will you be installing yourself or having someone else do it? I heard exhaust systems on the vert were a real p.i.t.a...

1981 Z28 · 03-25-2011, 07:16 AM

I have an axle back exhaust, new wheels, skip shift eleminator, CAI, Heritage Grille, Paint for different parts, dye for the white stitching on the black leater, #5 window tinting and a few other things. Yes I will be doing it all myself except putting the tires on the rims. I don't have a balancing machine yet!!!!!!!! I had left this weekend completely empty in anticipation of the car coming in today but looks like my plans for doing all the mods this weekend are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Daaaaang

you've been privy to the D.I.Y. section eh? lol
I told all my friends that I'd leave mine stock for awhile but man...I did my white bowties and next thing I know I was online buying everything. Cool list of mods, make sure you make a member car journal so we can before and afters!

Well if you look at my Cavalier in the picture, I did all the work on that one so this one will be a piece of cake. That thing has a list of MODS that goes on forever. Same thing with my Harley. I can't seem to leave things stock.
