Look Ma Bumble Bee!
So my wife and I are sitting in Tony Packo's here in Toledo last Saturday with my Camaro parked out front where I can see her (Betty). Anyway, this young mom, her father and her two boys about age 6 and 4 are heading for the front door of Packo's and the boys are all excited about the car. They get in the resturant and all I can here from their table for the first 5 minutes is Bumble Bee this and Bumble Bee that. Well we paid our check and as we walk by their table I say that there must be some Transformer fans here, and if it's OK with your Mom, you can each sit in Bumble Bee. I'm telling you they couldn't move quick enough. They got to sit in her and gramps took their pictures and Mom even wanted to sit in the drivers seat. It made my weekend and I'm sure theirs as well.
I just wanted to share yet another fun story that this car keeps giving us.

Good job! Now you have made two more Camaro fans for life...awesome job! All of us should take this lesson to heart. I put kids in my '57 Buick all the time, and the parents always appreciate it but ask if I am serious. Hell, if the kids appreciate the car, then they should get to sit in it as a way to show them thanks for liking my car. Plus, I believe cars are meant to be enjoyed!

Very awesome story
I am sure those kids will hold this memory with them until they are old enough to buy their own camaro and maybe post their "When I saw my first camaro" story in this forum
