I drive by the dealer to work everyday so all of a sudden I was hooked on the Camaro! Now I'm just waiting to get one!

I have always been a GM owner. GM trucks, had a 72 olds in high school, etc. Saw the concept and 1st transformers movie, it was just a matter of time after that. Love this car.

Been a Chevy guy for 22 years. I have had a Cavalier Z24 four Silverado trucks and a 1990 Camaro RS that we bought new and still have. I have a 2LT RS vert in IOM on order (TPW 1/24) for me it was the style that got me.

I had always dreamed of owning a first gen Camaro since the late 80's. I have many Hotwheels 1st gen Camaros from childhood and after. Life put those dreams on hold. (kids, marriage, divorce, houses, commuter cars) I ended up with my first "fun, impractical car" a 94 red convertible vette, about 3 years ago as my life got back on track. "We all have to live with the decisions we make." Was ready to send the Vette down the road after some major unexpected repairs and realizing I would never be a Vette person.

Test drove a some renovated 1st gens and thought that they just weren't smooth or refined enough for the investment. Also couldn't justify driving it to work daily. Waited for the Green 5th Gen to become a reality and jumped on it. Planned on it being a daily driver til I found a deal on an 2010 F150 4x4.

I've always been a Chevy man. My 2011 is the 3rd Camaro so far. I've also owned a 1999 and 2000 firebird.
I could not believe they stopped making Camaros and once I see the new Concept Camaro I had to it. The interior, exterior of the car just blew me away.

I loved my older Camaro's, but this new car seems special. Something I'll hold onto now.

What lured you to the 5th Gen?

The right car, at the right time, at the right price.

I have to admit, at first i didn't really take to it, until a friend got one. It really grew on me, and after i went for a ride, i was hooked.

Camaro's have been in my blood since I was a little kid. It started with the first gens and just continued from there. Whenever I did not have a Camaro, all I could think about was getting one. Now, I have THE car I have always longed for and it will be with me forever.

It was seeing unveiled by GM as the concept , that I knew it was going to be in my collection...............

tbass · 01-17-2011, 07:46 PM

Since high school I was always a fan of Camaros but I couldn't afford one.

Back when Chevy quit making the Camaro I would read up on anything I could find on the internet that would lead to them making the Camaro again. I remember there was a petition that I signed that requested GM to bring back the Camaro. When I saw the concept I knew I had to have it.
I just graduated college so it was perfect timing to buy one.
