Gives you a chance to see what a life of Fame is like lmao the car should come with a sign that says "Warning: Buying this car brings lots of attention and getting alot of attention gets frustrating"

Hey SLVRBULLET- I happen to like driving the car or else I wouldn't have bought it. I haven't blown off a single person that has asked me about the car, even when I was in a hurry or it was inconvienent. I WASN'T prepared for the notoriety the car has, I purchased the car for myself not for any kind of notoriety.

Putting a sign on the car about fingerprints is a good idea.

If I had "chicks" hanging around the car I would have to listen to my wife and daughter complain about that!

Keep it dirty? The black looks great but it is really tuff to keep clean.

it'll eventually go away. people were the same way when the VW Bug made it's comeback.

Rogue Leader · 06-21-2009, 10:39 PM

I agree the fingerprints and stuff get a little annoying but whatever it goes with the territory and they wash off... The excitement will dwindle and it will be just another Camaro some day, so enjoy it while it lasts...

Becarful with the sign. I bet it will piss some people off and then who knows what they might do to the car.

Just sounds like you are starting to whine about getting such 'overwhelming' attention...

you'd be surprised. There's a whole world out there

I LIKE IT!!! The only thing more exciting than all the attention was seeing my car for the first time, just waiting there for me to come and play.

Last Friday I went to my first cruse night and parked next to me was a Viper. He got annoyed that my car was getting all the attention!

Long Live Camaro (and its attention)

Claybar and Zaino the car. Then just carry some detail spray and a towel. Fingerprint problem gone.

Embalmer · 06-22-2009, 12:01 PM

2 months into owning my car now and people are STILL amazed that I have one... Same thing as OP described...

YES This is getting annoying... I had to start ignoring people... I feel like I'm being a Dick but whatever.... I can't stop to talk to everyone at every stop light and gas station...

Alarick · 06-22-2009, 12:16 PM

I've only had my Camaro a few days and right now all the attention and curiosity seekers are fun.

Now if you want to see some annoying time consuming attention try taking a friend or relative used car shopping while driving your new Camaro.

You'll pretty much shut down the sales department for a good half hour as all the sales staff crowd aroubd your car.

I think its really cool and I think its great when people stop to admire and ask questions. I love my car and thinks its beautiful so I am happy to let others check it out and be impressed. However, what does it mean when you are going opposite directions of a Mustang and they flash their lites at you?
