Had one staring me down on the freeway and asked if I was married

While I love my Camaro I got way more compliments in my old C5 Corvette. Old people, young people, middle aged...didnt matter. My electric blue always got compliments.

oh i don't know, i've gotten a lot of them.

but...when i picked up my mom from work yesterday, two guys in a mustang drove by as i was showing her my new car in the parking lot. They yelled out of their window, "nice car"!!!! that was pretty cool.

Today I saw 2 girls young enough to be my daughters walking down the sidewalk. Stopped at the light and one yells over a suggestion on a trade for a ride. If I told you what she said, it'd be my 2nd infraction HAHAHA

Three.

1. Somebody kissed the driver side window and left perfect lipstick marks
2. A little boy at a car show said it looked like Lightning McQueen
3. A little Girl at a car show ran up to my car (windows were down) and before I could get mad that She put her dirty little hands all over the door to peak inside She took in a deep breath and said "THIS ONE SMELLS LIKE CHRISTMAS"!!! I use red little tree air fresheners.

My niece and nephew were visiting recently, and while riding in the car one said "This car is way cooler than dad's".

This week a 2012 Shelby pulled along side me to chat in traffic. He said how much he liked my car, and I drooled a tad at his too!

Back in 09 when I had my 2LT, a 5 year old and a 3 year old ran over to me in a parking lot with their parents. Had to look at a "bumblebee". I opened the door and let both of them crawl all over the thing. The kids were beaming and couldn't believe they were in a Transformer. Parents fell over themselves thanking me.

Gotta cultivate future gear heads!

Best for me was probably a Porsche 911 pulling up next to me in the middle of town and asking all about it, or the guy who mistakenly thought my car was for sale and asked me to explain the details (last i checked he ended up with a RJT)

Well, this one time at band camp....

Electron Blue was a beautiful color! My '02 Corvette Convertible never ceased to get compliments galore....I think mostly attributed to it's color. The Camaro has been no slouch for compliments and the best one was a pretty woman telling me how my car was so sexy looking!

BowtieBelle · 09-01-2011, 08:06 PM

I tell you, four out of the five daily compliments I get are exclamations over the color. IBM is breathtaking in the sunlight, and more people talk about what an incredible color my car is than anything else about her.

Gen5SS · 09-01-2011, 08:15 PM

I get thumbs up in traffic all the time even from ford owners, the best one was while I was at the car wash the other day(hand wash) this guy sitting next to me said " damn that camaro is looking off the chain" I replied back I've still have alot of things I want to do but I'm happy with the way its looking so far, so he says " man that's yours!, that is an awesome ride" I felt really good about what I have done to the car and to hear someone say something about it that didn't know I was the owner made it even better.

GB EB · 09-01-2011, 08:24 PM

Yesterday at a graphics shop (pricing clear bra) the guy said "WOW, that is the nicest Camaro I have ever seen" and then took about 30 pics with his cel-phone.

also yesterday, at the gas station, a chic in a Firebird pulls up and says "I LOVE LOVE LOVE your car".

I told my wife that second story.... she had a different opinion of what that lady may have "loved".
