So I was on my way home, saw another Camaro, and zoomed by it. He fought back. I pull into gas station he comes back and gets out. Turns out to be Robert Johnson from the Tennessee Titans. He started complimenting my Camaro up and down. I showed him around it.

He complimented me on the sound my cold-air intake makes.


Not what I was expecting, but hey, got to meet a really cool guy.

I don't know if it was a Camry or not. It was an older beat up Toyota. I can respect the get up and go of the new Camry, That's cool. But lets head out to Blackhawk Farms and see who crosses the stripe first.

I've only had mine a week and have already had to shake my head a few times. How about the ricers pulling up next to you revving up? Gives me a good laugh every time..

Problem with the Toyota is it is family sedan....so it may be fast in a strait line, but it can't coner. I havn't really run into it yet, but if someone with a POS car starts hating on my car...I'll prob be pretty upset.

thank you and kept going. He drives an eclipse so I guess it's good to cut him some slack.


Another time, after parking the car in a parking lot:

Random guy: "Did you get the V8?"
Me: "Nope, got the V6"
Random guy: "Well at least tell me you got the manual!"
Me: "No I have the automatic."
Random guy: "Why did you even get a Camaro then?"


One time at work the guy who cuts the grass told me he didn't mow the area near my
car because he "didn't want to damage that $40,000 car." I thought it was awesome
that he was that polite and considerate, but I also corrected him and he was surprised at
how much it actually cost.
He was mentioning that car that the random guy thought you should have bought

Go big or go home is my philosophy.

How about from a co-worker--"I don't like the new Camaro's they don't have soul like the '68 or '69 Camaro." He drives a beat up rusted, primer spotted 10 year old Dodge Durango pick up truck. When I pointed this out to him he said "Yeah, I'm getting rid of it soon." so I tell him to come show me when he gets the '69 Z-28.

Ja ja ja ja. Good stuff. You should have "apologized" to the smoking hot mom and offered to take the Mom out to dinner to apologize (assuming she's single)
