Well my story is this; Ever since i was 16 (1994) I have owned firebirds/transams/camaros. The problem is everyone that i have owned it was preowned and somebody else took the liberty of beating the $hit out of it, so by the time I got it i was just throwing money at it just to keep it running reliably. On top of that every one that I owned I would always sacrifice one thing for another for instance:
My first firebird was a 1991 and it had T-tops (wanted that) but and automatic transmission(did not want)
next was a 1997 Camaro had a convertable (wanted) but V-6 motor and automatic trans (did not want)
next was a 2001 firebird had manual trans (wanted) no T-tops(did not want).
next was a 2001 trans am had the options i wanted, but fell apart very quickly and had to sell it. I bought from a seedy no name car lot (never do that again!)
So I go to the annual chicago auto show in 2006 and I can remember the first time i saw her sitting on the revolving platform. There was a large crowd of people around her and also a pretty woman standing right next to the car, but she was just getting in the way of seeing the Camaro.
Anyway the moment I saw the concept I was in love. The car had the two things i was looking for: it looks like a 69 Camaro (one that I have always wanted.) and it has all the modern conveniences of a new car. I thought to myself This is the car i am going to have and I dont care how much it is.
Fast forward to 2009 and I go to the dealer, order every option that i want in the car (IBM 2SS/RS M6 Sunroof) and then wait 61 painstaking days till it arrives at the dealer.
I go to the dealer on September 2 2009 and pick her up. I have been in heaven ever since!!! I finally have a muscle car ordered to my specifications from the moment that it is new so I know exactly where its been and down the line I wont have to worry about break downs because I know that I have taken care of my baby.
Sorry for the length of the story, but this is my passion. Funny side note while waiting for the car to be built I was bothering my wife every single day with camaro ponderings or things off of this side she got mad at me one day and told me to shut up i am too
obsessed with this car! well that is now what i have on my license plate
Cheers everybody enjoy your Camaros I know I am!
