Yup, got something similiar to that in my old SAAB 97X Aero LS2 by State Trooper in a smal town in the middle of nowhere. Was passing some Jethro's in loaded down border crossing vehicles. He 'neglected' to turn on his radar detector, but he assumed I was in excess of the speed limit. All I have to say is "GOOD QUESS"; perhaps the paint peeling off the sides of those other cars tipped him off. Wrote me for speeding in excess of 10% of the posted speed limit. How's that for a kicker. Could not prove my actual speed but was confident enough to assume more than 10%. I could have fought it but would have lost. As I said, small town where everyone knows everyone and I was a stranger. Also, I was probably 30+ over.

Pulled up to the gas station last night and the gentlemen at the pump across from me, Looks at my rims, and says "Oh you only got the V6....."
I said "Yeah, I only got the 323HP 30MPG V6. Nice Camry."

Haters gonna hate.

I got a real good one...

We where coming out of my GF party at a local bar/food joint and in the parking lot two of my friends where talking to this guy (I met him once or twice) He say to me... Is that your Camaro? I said yes it is. He then asked if it was a SS and again I said yes It is a LS3 SS. He then said to me... Well when your ready to move on to a real mans car let me know... I work for chevy... I laughed at him and said ohh yea so you work for a dealership? what would be a real mans car? He said well I can get you in a new COPO camaro (the concept copo) I have two.. white and black... So this is when I burst out laughing and said ohh yea you can get a car that isnt in production and you want to sell it to me so I cant drive it on the street when they are off road only!? He goes no they are street legal I was going to bring one tonight but decided not to (so he took his 90's 3 series bmw with no front bumper)... then he goes into the history of copo camaros... I let him talk till I said hold up your talking to a guy that has rebuilt a 68 camaro from the ground up with a 427 in it and you giving me a history lesson on COPO cars... and your trying to sell me a concept car... I said thanks man but let me know when your ready to talk like a real man and not lie about things you dont have ohh and let me know if you get a ZL1 in... have a good night and I walked away..

The comment that I get that bugs me the most (and it's probably cause it's my dad saying it) is "I don't know why you need to put new parts on a perfectly good new car" all I can say is you just don't get it... He has never been in to modifying cars in any way.

I have read all of the posts of people complaining that their Camaro got confused with a Mustang, Challenger or Charger and have always thought to my self "How in the hell is this possible? I can't ever imagine this happening."

So yesterday I was at a gas station and BAMMM!!!!! It happened! "Nice Charger buddy, I really like the look of these new ones" WTF!!!!

Got a few associates who drive Prius cars here. Most suggest/insinuate that my gas mileage is horrible by contrast and "how do I/you feel about XYZ."

I'm always polite, though I do thank them for taking one for the team in allowing me to purchase the balance of the fuel they don't use at the pump...often.

I was called obsessed. Then I said I said you can tell a lot about a man by the way he keeps his car. Then I looked at his clunker with a quick glance. He did not like that philosophy

Funny you should say that...the 2012 Camry is just as fast as the V6 Camaro...maybe faster in a strait line...Just saying...

"Even prior to our receiving a 2012 SE V-6, the six-cylinder Camry had a reputation for, shall we say, being downright respectable in a straight line. It didn't disappoint: The SE took 5.8 seconds to go from 0-60 mph, with the automatic's paddle shifters helping the cause"

.. the Mustang is because that's the muscle car most people know about
.. the Charger/Challenger because all 3 cars are portly and have hips.

Does anybody understand what the heck this means? The first half is understandable, but I can't figure out what's being said in the second half.

Corvettes certainly have their bad stereotypes, Camaros much less so.

They probably said that because the Camaro is more of a Grand Tourer, and not an impractical sports car like the Vette.
