If that's the case, make sure you stop in Erie Pa on your way and stop by the police station, I would be happy to take you up on that offer. And if i get mine first..................I wold go as far as Syracuse

Buffalo to Erie - ninety miles. We'll touch bases before I leave.

How long will it take for you to get tired of people stopping you and asking a bunch of questions and wanting pics.
Also, will you let people sit in yours? Not just people you know but people in general.
And the biggie. Will you let people drive it? Not people in general, but people you know.

Good questions all around:

a. Not too long but it would mostly depend on who's asking

b. Depends on who's asking.

c. My wife definitely. Also, perhaps as a bribe to someone to be the designated driver and it was someone who had driving skills I trusted. I don't drink all that much so the opportunity would be rare. Outside of those no one
will drive my car.

It will take a while for me to get tired of people stopping me and asking me questions, I will be PLENTY proud of the car. But once it will probably noit be überexclusive any more.

And no, I won't let people sit in it unless I know them. Sorry, will take care of my leather.

And the only person I know that I will let drive it is my father, because I know he can handle the power. Maybe my brother after he's had his license for like five years and has proved to me that he knows how to drive.

Other then that I'll probably mostly scare my mom and sisters if they ever ride with me

Isn't it "Gas, Grass or Ass"?

I asked if I could get a pic of Bonnie with the car and he had to think about it. We came back later and he agreed but told her EXACTLY where she could put her fingers on the car. The kid in the picture was the 'gaurd'. The owner even when we left acted like he was annoyed even just to answer questions. Before I left I accused him of the motor not really being hooked up but just mounted for looks. Kinda pissed him off but he was such an ass anyway I had to. Why go if you are gonna be a di@#? I understand if you don't want it printed all up and it's a show car but damn, your there to show it to people. It's not like he was in the parking lot on his way home.

I think as I was walking away I would have said something like this "What did ya have to do, have them trophies made yourself, Looking at your car there are so many things incorrect about it that it could never win in a REAL car show competition..."

if your that close for sure get in touch with me. I was half kidding thinking you were further east, but i will send you a message when i get mine. no offense, but i hope i'm driving to buffalo to show you first!!

AngryAmish · 02-19-2009, 07:17 PM

I actually got pulled over by a cop when my Impala was brand new just so he could check it out. He knew they were getting those at work, guess he wanted a heads up.

That was an Impala people. I can only imagine whats its going to be like for the Camaro.

Arioch · 02-19-2009, 07:41 PM

I had one of the first Soltice's in the area when they started producing them. I had lots of people ask me questions when I was out in public. I had people honking at me as I passed through intersections and giving me the thumbs up. I saw people stop what they were doing when they passed through the parking lot to gawk at the car while I watched from a resturant window. When we got a couple of more in the area and I would pass one on the road which was rare we'd both wave at each other because we knew how painful it had been to get the car, wait for it, etc.

It was an awesome experience. The closest thing I can imagine is that this is what a celebrity might feel like when they are out in public. Its an experience I've never had in my life until then and I suspect will have it again with this new camaro. Most people may never experience it in their life.

Enjoy it while you can.

SyNiKaL · 02-19-2009, 09:20 PM

Honestly I don't think I'll ever get tired of people asking about My Camaro, something I payed for. I would welcome the attention with open arms.

Now I actually wouldn't mind other people sitting in my Camaro, but there is no chance that I'm going to allow them to drive it!

rocket31 · 02-19-2009, 10:11 PM

Im gonna love every second of attention i get with the camaro. everyone that knows i have ordered one asks when im getting it every time they see me.
if people wanna take pics thats fine. ill give people rides all day long, if i know em. definately not strangers though, never know when you'll come across somebody who plans to drive off with it. of course if i run across some dime piece and she wants a ride i prob wont say no lol. however, nobody and i mean nobody is going to drive it except me!!!!
