In Amsterdam (in fact "all over the Netherlands") the Camaro is a "wrong" car.
Most people think you must be stupid to drive a muscle car.
90% of the people that drive these kind of cars (in Holland) are "wannabe's"-streetfighting-drugdealing-bigmouth guys with a lot of tattoo's and they are drunk every weekend
Thats the image.
But I DONT CARE. I LOVE IT ! (the Camaro).
My other car is a Toyota Tundra with 22 inch wheels (very "wrong" also here in Holland)....
It is just not accepted.
Because of my job (I am a stand up comedian using magic and mentalisme) and my own tv program in the Netherlands, people "know" me. They know I am just the funny guy performing amazing tricks and mind games in life theater shows and on TV. I think because of that they don't judge me :-)
But if I am driving and other drivers don't know who is driving.... They never let me through in traffic (don't know the right words in English).... My solution: show them my biggest smile and be patience hahahaha.
Thats how they see muscle cars and their drivers.....

btw: When the car is on a parking space... As soon as I leave the car they start to make pictures
