THIS CAR IS A "ROCKETSHIP"!!!!!!!!!

I know I've said it before and I will keep saying it again and again, this car is a "ROCKETSHIP"...
Every time I drive this car, I am more and more amazed at the grace and beauty and WOW factor it commands...

I just got back from showing my car to a lifelong friend and her teenage daughters...there we were standing in front of her house with my car parked at the curb and I was just showing them everything, and they could not believe all that this Camaro had to offer...
While standing outside,(she lives on a pretty busy street), I kept seeing cars drive by, honk, and wave, and then come back another time to look at the car again...unless they were just looking at us...
A USMC Veteran came by in his motorized wheelchair and had to back up, in the wheelchair, to take another look and give me a huge "thumbs up" on the Camaro...

I think you will all agree with me that we are "ROCK STARS" when we are out there "in the wild", and as of today, I have still not seen another Camaro besides mine on the road, so I am still quite a "spectacle"...
Sometimes it's scary, because of the fear of people rear-ending the car or just running into it as they look at the car and not the road...

BUT, all in all, this is the most fun I've had in a car since my '76 Firebird...I feel like a "kid" again and can't stop smiling...
Just wanted to share the experience with those of you who have already taken delivery of your cars and know what I mean, and to those that are still waiting, I want to remind you THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!...HANG IN THERE!!!...

Your teasing us all again

Glad to know that the camaro is still working its magic.

Given the relatively slow delivery rate of cars it will be a while before we see these as commonplace sights on the road - so you should have a great summer !

I am sure it will get even more silly after Transformers 2 comes out !

That is flat out awesome. Way to go.

I have been having similar experiences. Went to a Cruise Night in Morris, IL Sat. Constant stream of 10-20 people around the car all evening. Had one guy in a 1965 GTO follow me home that night to give her a big thumbs up!

This car is so cool.
