It's just a car.

No, it's not. It's history. It's style. It's elegance. It's brutal. It's subtle. It's rude, crude and loud. It's everything to a lot of people. It's nothing to some. It's a passion to most who have owned one.

It's a Camaro. It's a friend.

You hit it right on the head for me. When I bought my first Camaro back in 1984 it was a red '67 with a 327 under the hood. It was my first experience with freedom. I spent a LOT of time with that car. Put almost 200k miles on it before I sold it. The day I sold it I was sad and still to this day miss it. That was 18 years ago. I bought a '99 Camaro brand new in February '99. Traded it off four years later and felt that same twinge of regret as I handed over the keys.

Today I have a wife and daughter and a four door sedan. When the 2010 came out I looked at my wife and said, "I will have one."

I miss my friend.
