@ the OP-
Ok we have given you some crap in jest me included. Now for my serious opinion. Having read your response, I see you are a young guy but I think i see where you are coming from.

You are looking for some guys to hang around with, to shoot the shit about camaros and do the guy thing. Well here is the deal, you have five girls that provide a common interest. They may act all giggly and not have a clue. Why should they, at your age do guys really care about a chick who knows cars? Nope you wanna dumb and hot. As you get older and more refined you realize this is not the case, ya need to be able to have a conversation with the ladies or you get bored. Use this as an opportunity to educate them. You may just be surprised at how much they know or how much they are willing to learn. Conversly they may educate you in other matters. Women are a finicky breed the more insight you can get into them the wiser you can be.

Also you mention you have a girlfriend. Great, but no matter what you say things change.

Jump in there, share the bond of a very cool car make some new friends and dont sweat it. Have fun, cars and friends are cool no matter what sex is involved.

Cheers
K

My point being, don't bash him for saying the girls don't know anything about the cars unless you know the girls. He knows them better than any of us do... or at least he should before saying stuff like that. OP never said how close he was to these people so we don't really know that much.
?



We all sense ignorance on OP's words. That is what the guys/gals are bashing at.

Here's the problem, you own one of the hottest cars on the market today...

It's exactly like what happened to the 2005 Mustang, girls turned 16, and got one for their birthday...girls turn 16 in 2009/2010, what will they get? 2010 Camaro. It isn't because these girls don't know what they are actually driving, it's because it's like, the hawttest car on the market...

So think about it, lets say the Challenger was the hottest car on the market, they'd be getting those basically..

So what are you claiming is BS then? I never said don't bash him for ignorance. I mean I can go back and read what I typed but I'm pretty sure I didn't say that I'll have to check my notes. IIRC I said don't bash him for saying the girls don't know anything about their car unless you know these girls better than he does. And last I checked OP wasn't throwing around blanket statements about those of the female persuasion not knowing anything about cars.

edit: my reply was towards skyblu's post. OP hasn't given details as to how he knows these girls that have a camaro know nothing about their car. Until he does, he shouldn't be criticized for that... unless you're going to criticize his lack of details, which would be ok.

its because the guys are still working their butts off to buy one while those girl most likely had it bought for them. I'll bet none of them can drive for sh!t either. (not b/c they're girls, b/c they're spoiled brats that get cars and dont even understand the power of hp) Just saying...

Honestly, everyone vents, and now he is forced to defend himself against people bashing him.

So people should lay off him, it obviously bothers him. Maybe your offended by what he said, but either way, whats the point of giving him grief over it. Leave the guy alone.

i'm a girl and i like cars....i can even keep up in car convos.
i hate that ppl naturally assume that since i'm a chick i don't know anything about cars.
Considering you are on camaro5.com that means you do know everything that needs to be known about this car, and you can actually answer questions instead of going whaaaa?

I wish these girls could have a conversation about the Camaro. But they can't.

I am the only person at my school that drives a Camaro & I am a girl. Don't stereotype & say that we don't know about our cars. I know just as much about my Camaro as any guy anywhere around my age range does

Question dect, thought it may come off douchey...

Can you yourself hold a convo about this car? You didn't even know what the things on the front of the Camaro where called.
