Seeing the new Bumblebee roll up in "the scene" during Transformers1 totally blew my wife and I away; it was right then and there, that we knew what our next car would look like. The Camaro itself is an attention getter to begin with, being rally yellow magnifies the attention; adding the stripes has given it rockstar status.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an attention hound by any means. We had our car customized because we, and we alone, wanted it that way. But make no mistake, you
will attract a ton of attention; especially with the all the movie buzz, popularity, toys, commecials, etc. going on at the moment.
During a road trip to San Diego, we got hung up in bumper-to-bumper, stop-n-go traffic (backed up on both sides) for two hours thru LA. We were on the inside lane, so everyone coming the other way got a real good look at the car, and boy did they ever. It was
crazy attention. I had to have seen the word "bumblebee" by reading lips literally hundreds of times that day.
So if too much attention makes you uncomfortable, you may want to let the movie buzz die down a bit, except then the DVD will be out in several months, and then a third movie is likely, and so on. But for my wife and I, any discomfort we may have with too much attention, it wasn't going to get in the way of realizing our dreams. Besides, driving by kids
and watching their faces light up as you can see them say "bumblebee" is really something special and never gets old.
No regrets here...
