I want to share a special story that happened today with you all...

I made a little boy's day today. I stopped to get gas and a boy about 8 or 9 was there with his dad and he saw my 2013 Camaro LT and loved it. His dad came over and asked if his son could look at it so I said yes even let him sit in the driver's seat. Before leaving the dad asked if he could take a picture of his son with the Camaro and I said he was more than welcome to. The boy looked to his dad and said "Daddy I WANT one". The little boy was so happy and proud of that little moment and I am sure that a future Camaro owner was born in that moment. A small gesture can really make a big difference in someone's day and the smile on the boys face was worth a few minutes of my time.

Got my HWSE May 17. Since then I have had around 200 kids get their pictures taken in it wherever I might be. Love their smiles and the parents thanks.

A few teens and adults also had their pictures taken in it.

Nice job, you made a little boys day and maybe a future Camaro owner or future designer of who knows what generation of Camaro but the best thing is you did a really nice gesture
