We have almost the same car and I either get compliments on it because its a camaro, or due to the color scheme. I live in a fairly large city and ive only seen two white camaros other than mine. Typically people say they havent seen a white one and they "really like that color on the camaro". Every camaro here seems to be a bumble bee, black, or CGM

Yeah there aren't any white ones around here either, I fell in love with the color instantly!

I've heard the generic compliments of how good these cars look, but my favorites are the ones who tell me that they will steal my keys to their car

You may want to seek an alternate route, the Kanc is washed out

I've had nothing but compliments on mine. just about two days ago had a guy driving a eclipse next to me at a stoplight roll down his window and ask me a few questions about the car. he then preceded to tell me that I had the perfect color for this car, he said a car like that needs to be that color.

Nice! I respect the guys with the rice even though it's not my thing, treat others the way you want to be treated!

Generally this is a sign of some punk that wants to race or has something negative to say about my car so as I stopped at a red light I waited for the Jeep to pull up next to me to take my daily dose of jack ass. Well the Jeep with veteran plates finally got next to me and the driver stuck his head out the window to get my attention. "I just had to catch up to you and tell you that you have the nicest one of those I've seen so far!" were his words, completely the opposite of what I was expecting! Just like any other Camaro owner I get loads of compliments about my car but I've never had someone barge through traffic just to tell me that, it made my day for sure!

I know this is far from the most interesting story posted on here, but I'm just curious, has anyone else had someone follow you after they saw your Camaro just to tell you how much they love/hate it?

thats awesome Al! i love stories like that

I love it when really old men give me a thumbs up or tell me how nice my car is, just makes me smile for some reason.

Also, the local cops here use two 2010 LT V6 Camaros as marked patrol units and they always flock to my car (in a good way, lol) when I'm at the waffle house. I try to be VERY friendly to those guys since there's a jackass that lives right by me that has the exact same color car as me and I've seen him pulled over twice in the last month. Hah! I wanna make real sure they know who I am and especially who I'm not!
