Nice!

Funny, I was never really a huge Camaro fan. ESPECIALLY the 80's and 90's eye sores. But I always was an SS fan - Impala, Malibu, Nova...but in 2010 I thought they nailed the old and new. So, I guess I waited 48 years. Katy bar the door!

Congrats on the long awaited ride. Enjoy it to the fullest!

Congrats & enjoy! Took me 46 yrs to get mine ...in Jan '66 I got a new GTO then 6 mos later it was stolen so I got a '66 442. When the Camaros came out I talked my buddy into getting one and wanted one ever since ...finally got it as my retirement gift to myself in 2012

I had the same thing. My brother had a Camaro when I was a teen, and I just had to have one. Fast forward to 2014 and I finally got the car I had dreamed about for so long.

Congrats! A beauty indeed! I got mine in April at the age of 55 after drooling every time a gen 5 camaro went past.

Congrats. The '13 is the best year IMO.

JSLSlim · 09-24-2015, 10:06 AM

Congrats! Your car is beautiful. Enjoy!

Its cool to see all the different ways you guys change your cars. I don't think I have ever owned a car, that I didn't modify in some way, right after getting it.

A European friend of mine, once summed it up quite well - "Cars built in Europe are for some people, but cars made in America are made for everyone." He was saying this after checking out pictures of the C7 Corvette and the Gen 5 Camaro, that I sent him in June 2014

Congrats! My husband and I were in the similar boat. He had wanted a Camaro or Vette all his life and so did I. It wasn't until he got an awesome job in power line construction, that we could afford a Camaro, the Vette is just a little out of financial reach. Me working a the dealership helped.

It is always nice to see dreams come to life. Love the color, very clean!
