The First Day - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BigSlik · 01-14-2009, 09:39 PM

I've been doing some thinking lately. I have never seen this car in person before, so I can't even imagine what my reaction is going to be the first time I see my car. I don't know if I'm going to go ballistic and jump around yelling, or if i will break down into tears to finally see my dream come true. The first day, don't get me wrong, I will drive the hell out of it, but I will probably sit and stare at it for hours apon hours as well as sit inside of it for hours just to take it all in. Because this car just triggers that kind of emotion for me(you guys probably know what I'm talking about). It is going to be a day I will never forget and might not have again.

If you'd like to share, I was just curious to know how you guys think you are going to react seeing your car for the first time. And what do you have planned for the first day?

I teared up when I first saw the concept. I couldn't believe I was standing in front of it. At the same time, I was stoked to start asking questions and take photos. Take lots of pictures, and get inside of it if you can. I saw a heavily tinted Bumblebee, so the interior wasn't visible for my viewing of it. You'll get a rush if you get the chance to be in the driver's seat. Those who have sat in the driver's seat have said that it is as if the very souls of its testers and designers are in there with you. That car almost has a soul. It is very powerful to be close to this car if you appreciate it and have been following it. For many of us, it has been a dream to see it become a production machine.

I don't know about others....but I'll second that.

When I saw it for the first time...every other car in the room blurred, and I got teary-eyed, AND jumpy-excited...it was weird. So I took the middle ground and just stared like a doofus for an hour.

THEN....when I finally got my chance to sit in it........there's really no words.

I'm not entirely sure what my reaction will be the first time I get to see my Camaro.
Just seeing this picture of the red SS with the CGM stripes from the NAIAS gave me chills.

And my plans will be to take pictures, followed by driving, and then more pictures...

Yeah; that's the first picture that I've seen in a while that's stirred a lot of emotion. Don't get me wrong, I love all the pics' that so many people are generous enough to post up for us, but everything about that pic' just made me excited. I'm not even a huge fan of red, but that pic' was just great.

I too haven't seen the car in person. I can't wait, honestly. I'm not sure what my reaction will be; I don't know if I'm going to make an idiot of myself or if I'll be able to contain my excitement. All I know is that I can't wait to be able to get my own
