Sometimes things happen in life that make you ponder. I, like certainly some others on this forum, have been impacted by the credit bubble at large. I’ve read a lot, and some USA critics think that all we can produce is MTV and burgers. They say that we don’t manufacture products that other countries want – this is certainly true depending on what lens you look through.
My first Camaro was an 89 IROC, with the 5.7 TPI engine. It was low, wide, black with red pinstripes and had attitude to spare. When I traded in the 3rd gen for my 4th gen Z28, I will never forget my girlfriend’s nephew demanding I take him for a ride in the
Batmobile.
The 2010 Camaro is absolutely the rock-star that everyone says it is. In 2 months, I’ve had my share of folks who follow, chase, stare, question, reminisce, and celebrate. In a time where good news is not very common, this car shows the world that although we’re a little hung-over, we will shake it off and rise to the occasion!
I’m writing this because of a stranger who pulled up next to me recently on the way home. He was an older fellow, looked to be American to the bone with the wear marks to prove it. He stopped behind me, moved up, stopped, and stared. He gave me thumbs up and had a smile from ear to ear. If I wasn’t mistaken, he had a tear of joy.
I’m so glad that Chevrolet took a chance – this car is the right car at the right time and lets everyone know that America is still cool and can produce great products. And it doesn’t matter if you happen to own one or not – the effect is universal. The car is the star
