Guilty on all counts! Picked up mine on Feb 1st, just turned 1,600 miles on it today. Absolutely love this car

Look at it, touch it, drive it, look for siblings for it.

I bought mine July 2nd, and have already test drove an 11' SS and a used SGM with a manual.

Talking to credit union about a 18 month payoff on this one, so I can get a 36 month loan for number 2.

So either a pair of SGM's or the Auto SGM and the SS. Man this collection could get expensive.

My wife says make sure you sell that Vette somewhere in all this, oh and buy a used 4x4 while your at it.

It's summer who needs a 4x4.

How do you get any work done? I had my Camaro within eye-shot the other day when I went out to eat, and well, let's just say... it was a high stress meal! Multiple times the thought of running out the Fire Exit door and protecting my Camaro from all the blue haired patrons driving their foreign imports! (Seriously, mine was the only domestic brand in the entire lot.)

BackinBlackSS/RS · 07-22-2010, 11:00 PM

It won't wear off. I go out to the garage a lot!

Injunman · 07-22-2010, 11:01 PM

1 Year and 12,000 miles later I still look back before I go in anywhere. Force of habit by now i guess.

jshaf · 07-22-2010, 11:02 PM

take the dog for a walk just so I can give her a looksy, you aint the only one that loves there camaro

ketel0ne · 07-22-2010, 11:03 PM

When I remote start mine, I kind of imagine its saying "hello where would you like me to take you."

Camaro68 · 07-22-2010, 11:18 PM

Go out take a look at it the (11)
and then jump in and take a
drive to the garage.

Look at the 68 start it up hit the
gas a few times, clean off any dust
and jump back in the 11 and go
back to the house to
clean her up.

Me too! I always glance over my shoulder as I'm walking toward the building. =)

I have had mine for 10 months......and NO YOU ARE NOT ALONE......we are diffenetly obsessed......which is OK.....and I certainly hope it NEVER wears off.

RubyCamaro · 07-22-2010, 11:58 PM

Guilty as charged. I park at work so I can see her if & stand up & look over a hedge. I stand up a lot. When I walk up to the front desk, I can see her from the side window. I stand there a lot while waiting for clients to arrive, looking at her. At home she is parked under the carport & I can see her out the kitchen window. I hover there a good bit. Sometimes I just need to walk outside, walk around her, inspect for bugs, dirt, & hopefully no new chips, etc. On week ends after her bath I sometimes get a yard chair & sit it where I can just look at her a while. At the gym I park so I can see her out the front doors & check on her often. And yes, upon walking away, ALWAYS look back. At least the symptoms of our disorder are consistent, easy to diagnose.

Oh Yea...Had her 3 months & 5300 or so miles, hasn't changed any yet, maybe worse!

efpardo · 07-23-2010, 12:01 AM

14 months and I'm still in love with my car. before I go to bed, I'll take a quick peek to make sure she is okay.

qberry · 07-23-2010, 08:28 AM

Thanks everyone. I feel more normal now, or at least not alone in my non-normalcy

MikeSVX · 07-23-2010, 10:31 AM

Your not alone. I always pretend to forget wether or not I closed the garage door. Funny thing is, I live alone and still need to make up an excuse. I guess thats me trying to deny my adiction. Like the alcohalic telling them self that they can quit anytime they want.
