I hope you get your Camaro soon. You definately picked out a great color/trim combo.
I hear German winters can be harsh. Better order a set of all season tires unless you don't plan to drive your SS in the snow. Enjoy !

Michael R., CONGRATS on the new ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
 oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!

Thank you for your comments and welcome
 Let me add some comments: Yes, the Camaro is kind of rockstar in Germany ...I've only seen four so far on the streets but I think there must be around 300-500 Camaros on the roads of Germany in total. And it always looks like something Batman or Robocop would drive compared to all the other cars German winters are no comparison to what I have experienced in Iowa and Minnesota but still I will get winter tires as I plan on driving it the whole year. They are required in Germany as soon as the weather turns the roads to icy & snowy conditions. And no, I'm from and still living in the former western part of Germany near Frankfurt a.M.  ... the cars I've listed are totally normal in the former Imperealistic western part as well  Skoda was a brand from the former Czecheslovakia but is owned by the Volkswagen group now and offers the same technique as Audi or Volkswagen but for more affordable prices and I like the design  Recently Skoda was one of the most succesful brands in both western and eastern states of Germany. Cheers Michael |

Congrats Michael. Would be great to see pics of you beauty! Also, excuse me if this a dumb question, but what are the speed limits on your roads?

 ...some details look different on the EU model.Also not a dumb question at all about the speed limit for cars and bikes: - city: 30-50 km/h (=19 mph - 31 mph) - highways / rural roads: 70 - 100 km/h (= 44 mph - 62 mph) - Autobahn: none   ...but being involved in an accident driving over the recommended speed of 130 km/h (= 81 mph) might result in joint guilt if they can prove that the accident could have been avoided in case you were driving slower than 130 km/h. Also some parts of the Autobahn have speed limits of 100 -130 km/h. I believe currently 50-70 % of c. 12.000 km (7.500 miles) have no or temporarily no speed limit. Some special highways also do not have a speed limit. But due to the high gas prices (one gallon is c. 7.5 US $ at the moment) most people will drive around speeds of 110-140 km/h. Cheers Michael |

First of all Welcome! Sounds you like your ordered an awesome car!
When i was pretty young, my Grandmother-RIP, took me to Norway and Denmark and gave me an experience for which I will never forget, even though I was only 10yrs old at the time. This was also the first time I fell in Love with a car. I was in a small town in Norway and I was watching a gas station, an 18 wheel pulled up and a brand new '79 Trans Am was pulled off and delivered to the owner of the gas station. I remember running over there and drooling. I talked to the proud owner and remember him saying how long he had been waiting for his car and how very expensive it was to purchase and bring over there. He was the talk of the town for the several months I stayed there. I have been a huge fan of Camaro's and T/A's ever since. Thank you for the flashback....I still have an old poloroid picture somewhere of this guys car, If I can find it I'll post it.
