There are only two options in life. Fight or flight. Most people run. Almost all people run. But not us. The difference between us and everyone else is that we run towards the gunfire. And that makes all the difference.

The car chose the driver. Honestly it is a number of things. Daily driver with great power and decent gas mileage, but also a weekend cruiser out on the backroads - desert.
Oh, and the fact that the first car I fell in love with was my best friend's older brothers black 67 SS Camaro!

Have owned many over the years, multiple generations. Was really bummed when they stopped production after '02 model year. As soon as the prototypes started showing up, the hubby and I both decided we wanted another one!! So now we have 2 Gen 5's.

Loved the way the car looked and I've always liked having V8 power.

I started preparing when I saw it online at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. Toward purchasing time I almost went with a Vette but thought about my two small children.

I wanted it since I have seen it in the first Transformers movie.
13 years ago I had not the courage to buy a Camaro and have it always regretted. I think (and hope) that I will never regret this purchase.

Indefinate reenlistment present to myself to force me into a financial obligation to do 10 more years of service. That and my ex wife hated my 98 Trans AM WS6 and I wanted an SUV or truck on the side. Long story short I sold the TA and regretted every day afterwords...
