I, like the many other new members of the board, thought i should introduce myself

i realize i'm not old enough to drive, but camaro plays somewhat of a role in my everyday life. my dad owns a 97 camaro and still uses it to this day with over an outstanding 300,000 miles on it and it still works like a charm!! as far as im concerned the camaro is probably one of the most durable cars out there! kudos to whoever made this forum. i love it!

Welcome to the site! We're glad to have you here and when that day comes, even if it's not a 5th Gen, hopefully you'll see yourself in a Camaro.

Hello and welcome.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-27-2007, 10:31 PM

Yes, Welcome. And it's nice to hear about the 300,000+ mile car. Why, because that's not the first time I've heard that about a Camaro!

Incredible!

MerF, I still can't get over that quote of mine, I can't believe I typed it...

I actually forgot what I had said, so I had to link to find out....

It will be there until someone else makes me laugh out loud like that.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-27-2007, 11:18 PM

Fair Enough.

Welcome to Maro heaven! The 300k miles caught my attention...sweet judy blue eyes!! I bet he changed the oil every 500 miles!

camarogrl42 · 07-28-2007, 08:55 AM

300,000 on a Camaro!? Yes! I'd love to see what my fellow Honda owners would have to say about that.

Welcome to the board!

SoFlaZ · 07-28-2007, 09:54 PM

Are sure the engine hasn't been rebuilt at any point??

Anyway, WELCOME!!!

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-28-2007, 09:57 PM

I don't know about her car, specifically, but the one I was reffering to belonged to a guy that had trouble with oil changes.

Granted, by the time he got rid of it, the T-Top center bar, had rusted through (crumbled under his fingers), but I guess the engine was still running strong.

camarogrl42 · 07-29-2007, 01:01 PM

hahah! i was talking to my dad last night when he got home about it. he said he's never replaced the engine or anything, just replaced the oil when he should've, no secrets here :P

SoFlaZ · 07-29-2007, 01:26 PM

WOW thats great. My father has a 96 Z28 and is almost at 200K miles and still going strong.
