Last night, I attended the Columbus, Ohio Auto Show and was really excited to see that the Camaro on display was an Aqua Blue Metallic one! I had ordered mine in this color but had never actually seen one. Here I was admiring how beautiful the car looked in the color I chose and this guy walks up to me and says," I don't know what GM is thinking, That thing looks like a ripoff of a Chrysler 300." I looked at him and asked if he needed glasses! He then proceeded to tell me that the Camaro would never save GM, and it was a waste of time building it. I then told him he was telling that to one of the 14,000 people who ordered one already and the crowd gathered around the car obviously did not agree with him either. I assume he went off to go look at the newest KIA or something.....

I know, I was saying that those kind of fans are few and far between on the dodge side (being a former Mopar fan myself *SHOCK!*). As far as respect goes, I've recognized that Challenger fans have much more for their competitors than both we and Mustang fans have for each other's vehicle.

But that doesn't mean that there's always that one guy that's all Mopar or Nopar. Seems we've caught one out in the wild.

TLDR: Best Car fans

1) Dodge
2) Chevrolet
3) Ford
4) Imports (the rest of the world, etc)

And I stand by that.

Well clearly the guy knows nothing about cars if he thinks its a ripoff of the 300. I would have laughed in his face, honestly i might have rolled on the ground laughing. But sadly, some people are just stupid.

CynAgain · 03-22-2009, 12:52 PM

well he's right... it's just another car.

Whatever!

Matrix · 03-22-2009, 12:59 PM

Hate to say it but it does look a lot like a 300!

After 50 pints and 50 joints! And so do all women!
