SHE'S A BEAUTY!!!
Wow, talk about emotion. This car certainly deserves it, and I understand the reason behind this car meaning so much to you. I'm sure PBF is VERY pleased and proud of you, Pete.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to find fault with this car. The gifted people at GM had the right philosophy throughout, as fbodfather stated it, "We hope your new Camaro will be the best, most satisfying car you've ever owned and that it will give you "perma-grin" each and every time behind the wheel." I know I'm still grinning.
Oh, and your wife is not only understanding....she's gorgeous! Take care, and don't be a stranger here, buddy.

I think you gave most of the "regulars'' on the forum like me, an extreme case of "WHAT THE HELL DID PETE DO" ....LOL...

CONGRATULATIONS, PETE!!!...I am sooooooooo happy for you...

Get ready to enjoy the "RIDE OF YOUR LIFE"...now you really know first hand what we are all talkin' 'bout...

Thanks! I can't wait.

.......but just couldn't do it!


This part of your story??.....



".......After a few seconds I sit down into the car and let the leather seat absorb me. I grab the steering wheel and I can feel (I know this is going to sound stupid) the history, the legacy of this car. I can sense the passion that has gone into it and its ancestors....."


no -- it does not sound stupid in the least to anyone who loves automobiles...... and yes, you'd be right that there is an incredible amount of passion that has gone into Camaros both past and present.......

While I've said this to others, please believe my sincerity:
We hope your new Camaro will be the best, most satisfying car you've ever owned and that it will give you "perma-grin" each and every time behind the wheel.

( "Thor" now approaches 14,000 miles and I still look forward to getting behind his steering wheel every morning at 6am......... I DO try to whisper because my neighbors might think I'm cracking up when I say "Good Morning, Thor! Let's go!" )
Thank you Scott. I am sure I will be talking to this car a lot. No worries on it taking a little time. It was worth the wait (and I haven't even driven it yet!). Glad that you recalled the subs. Oh and as you can probably tell from the pictures, the perma grin comes standard with my car!

Pictures are great and as you know more would be better.

Glad to see you have your car and hopefully you can tell us how much after get a few miles on the odo.
Thanks Number 3. I can't wait to report after putting in some seat time.

Yeah, the wife liked that too. BTW, I think the wife liked the car more than either of us expected. I am glad. Give me a ring whenever. I might call you Monday from the car if I take it for a spin!

I knew that would get people's attention. Plus, the Hyundai is a running joke with a good friend of mine who was instrumental in my Camaro purchase.
