I have a couple...

First: I just got done washing her and off in the distance I see a 10'ish year old kid taking a pic of my car. He sees me and gives me a thumbs up and walks away.

Second: Everytime I start her up since having a few mods and a tune done.

Driving my SIM to the Buyers & Builders Oshawa Meet & Greet August 20-22 - bringing her home for a visit and the fantastic time we had with camaro5 members at the Martinrea Ajax suspension assembly plant, GM Oshawa Plant, Nurse Chevy Show & Shine and evening socials were the best memories so far. Topped off the trip with two days in Niagara Falls - wow.

1. tons of people take pictures of the car. I even see them driving and reaching for something.....low and behold its a cell phone to take a pix.
2. a co worker of mine was going to his senior prom. he wanted to use my car..he was ok with me saying i am not confortable with that. Then his date very cute girl was begging and pleading with me to let him use it. That was a really cool moment. I told her i dont want you and him to feel horrible if something were to happen with the car, i dont want you to feel bad.

Best event that ive got to do with the car, the meet and greet at Oshawa was awesome and meeting Mike of course, but this event was selective and it made me feel really lucky. My dealer could of picked anyone but they chose me.

I've had a few.

1) My accident...memorable only because it's kind of hard to forget. Some lady ran through my car's left front side while I was stopped in a left hand turn lane. $11,500 in damages.
2) Talking cars at a gas station in the middle of nowhere in Northern California with a beautiful lady, who wouldn't have given me the time of day otherwise. Too bad she was married.
3) 2 other accidents that were caused by people staring at my car, and not at the road.
4) In the middle of nowhere in Canada, I was driving through a small town (50 people?) at 40kph. As I was exiting the town, just before the speed limit increased to highway speed, I drove by two young kids (8 -10 years old) who got really excited seeing the car and yelled for me to do a burnout. I obliged, as the road was absolutely clear and no traffic at all in either direction. Last thing I saw in my rear view mirror was those two kids jumping up and down cheering. It's the small things in life that can make your day!
5) Driving from Bellingham, WA to Winthrop, WA with 8 other 2010 Camaros. Was an awesome day, and fun to see others here in Washington state who drive what I drive.

My most memorable moment is having owned my Camaro for 8 weeks, but having been only able to drive it for 5 after having been rear ended. Still waiting to get it back.

However, Sept 11th is the Laps for Charity at Texas Motor Speedway, and I fully intend to be there with my Camaro and I know that will be memorable!

Also, finding out that we're having a baby, not 8 days after placing my order for the my Camaro was pretty neat!

Having a kid come up to me one weekend when I was washing the Camaro to say 'Your car looks just like Bumble Bee, but without all the yellow bits' was pretty cool too!

I so hope to get my Camaro back today, I miss it and love driving that thing, my Impala loaner just isn't cutting it.

This is the first one on my list so far. We had a blast on that trip to Wintrop. My dad and I made the same trip less than a month later. Then we drove down the east side of the cascades. Had lunch in Yakima. Crossed back over on White pass.

Saturday we start our trip to Teton/Yellowstone/Glacier. Will be a good trip for sure. Pics will be forthcoming as the trip begins.

Below is a picture another member took of the front part of the pack going over North Cascades to Winthrop. Another from the rear view of the back part of the pack.

Walking back to the staging lane when the call came and seeing a line of people (3 seperate groups) ignoring beautiful 1st gen Stangs and Camaros, awesome hot rods and other great cars that I drool over and they were taking turns posing next to my car for pictures. Fortunately I had enough time to let them finish before I had to get in it.

One of my cooler times was when me and chris(2010camaro Rs) drove around lime rock race track.all the people camping in the in field were standing next to the fence chearing us on .and o ya we were getting in it. Every one should try and drive a course if possible .this is what these cars were ment for.

This is a split decision with me!

I never really owned a "show car" before, and being the recipient of Al Oppenhiesers "GM AWARD" at Camaro5 Fest, was definately my most memorable moment with my C5




Sharing the same spot light, is the day I finished the transformation from show car to tribute car (Veteran 1) driving SGT Tutten Drive...

Hmmmm... kind of a toss up, actually. The coin lands in favour of #1, but I'll include #2 for the awesomeness of it all.

#1) Mike Judge (super60), my litho (#108) and my Camaro (Warlock). Awesome day!



#2) Chelsea from Oshawa/Whitby Hooters and Warlock. Hellooooo Chelsea!

Just after I bought the car I stepped on it right off the dealer lot (just off a freeway service road: thank you Texas). At the next light, one of the cars that had been behind me pulled up beside me. Both the driver and passenger started yelling "Nice car!" and gave me the thumbs up.
