OK ...we all know I'm prejudiced.........
...but I've had a stupid amount of company cars over the past thirty two years at GM. (.....I started when I was three.......
)
There are some cars (and trucks) that I COULD NOT WAIT to get out of......
And then there are those that I wish I'd somehow managed to 'keep'.....
.....a '78 Z28 in yellow with the gold 'turbine' wheels........
........a particularly beautiful 1982 Monte Carlo with a T-roof..........
...............a Black on Black on Gray '79 Caprice. (this was the predecessor to the 'Dreaded Black Suburbans'
...........many Corvettes, Firebirds, and Camaros.........
..........a particular 1992 Z28 convert -- white with Red rally stripes and red leather interior -- took it on vacation -have never forgotten it........
..........my first 1997 Camaro 30th Anniversary Convert.........
............my first 2002 Camaro 35th Anniversary Convert............
.......a Black Escalade ESV.......... (.....even BETTER than a Black Suburban...)
......curiously, a DTS Sedan last summer -- Dang that was a nice car -- quiet, fast, comfortable for long trips.............
And then there's 'Thor' --
Most of you are probably tired of hearing about Thor -- but I gotta tell you -- in 12,000 miles -- I've not stopped grinning.
I find myself AVOIDING yard work and house chores -- so that I can start him up -- turn on his halos -- and drive up along Lake St. Clair -- or cruise Woodward or Gratiot...........
..........and, for those of you driving a new Camaro -- you already know that the new Camaro stops traffic..........regardless of age, people just stop and stare and grin and ask all kinds of questions.
To wit: Last evening on Jefferson avenue - -I'm refuelling him -- and a very attractive early 30-something says to me (from across the tanks...) "Is THAT the new CAMARO???" -- I replied "yup!" .....and she just went nuts over Thor..........
So.........do I regret this car or get tired of him or am I disappointed?
HECK, NO!!!!
It almost scares me when I realize the attachment I have to Thor..........
(....did I mention that I just beam when I read how you love your Camaros???)
