I just have to say I paid for what I got and believe I got every pennies worth with no regrets.

Thanks,

IMHO these stripes look better on the Camaro than the Rally Stripes do. I would have had it done to mine if I didn't get a clear bra installed...

About 30 years ago, a family friend and I were talking. She had a 280Z and I had a 1978 T/A 6.6 4-speed Trans Am. She had heard that Chevrolet was going to bring back the 69 Camaro body style. We were both excited and were going to get one.

Last week, I ran into her. I told her that Cheverolet finally brought back the 1969 Camaro body style in the new 2010 Camaro and asked her "what color did you get?". She just looked at my strangely and said "I saw your Charger out front".

Later that week I told her husband and he said he would make sure she gets back on the right track.

Is that a new Mustang?
No, it's my beautiful new 2010 Camaro, can you believe it?!
Then I usually enjoy chatting about the new C5's, and how lots of ppl think it's a Mustang.
Also love to tell the story about when Camaros were 1st introduced, people asked, "What is a 'Camaro' anyway?" and Chevy replied something like "It's a small, vicious animal that eats mustangs." lol
Most asked question: "Can I drive it?"
No, I decided only Dave & I can drive it (Dave is my husband, he bought it for me).
Duh, it's brand new (1 month) and has the brand new pricetag (car note) to match;
the insurance is much higher for a specified vehicle;
the color is discontinued - so I consider it a rare treasure;
& what the hell part of only-Nicole-and-Dave-can-drive-it don't they understand?
I don't ask to take a $30,000 item of theirs and go out in the streets with it.
And I don't ever ask people to drive their nice cars.
But my rule is my decision, and there are 2 names on the insurance policy. Period.
If someone offers me about $45,000 cash, well, maybe they can take it around the block. jk
My son just turned 16 and got his permit. Lots of people think we got it for him. hahahaha! No way.
Keep the funny comment stories coming!

Two kids near where I parked said:

Kid One: "Hey, nice Mustang!"
Kid Two: "No, that's the new Camaro"
Me, a I walk from the car: "Yes, it's the new Camaro, and it is nice"

I had a Ford dealer who supposedly worked all his life for GM but switched 6 months ago tell me I didn't have 6.2L in my SS because vettes only come in 6.0L.

Then he asked me if I can show it to him.

After seeing my new 2ss, my 83 year old father in law asked my 54 year old wife if her 58 year old hubbie (me) was in his second childhood. She replied " Hell no...he never left his first childhood."

That's funny.


My ex-wife keeps telling her friends I bought "One of those new Chargers"

My reply, "Call it a Charger again and your walking the rest of the way home".
