This Camaro gets sooooooo much attention. I've only had this car for 9 days and have had so many at-the-stop-light conversations, thumbs up, convos in the parking lot, whistles from old perverted men lol, and so on and so on.

My most memorable moment. One hour after I purchased the car I was sitting at a stop with my hubby in the passenger side and a car of guys pulled up next to me but not all the way up so they could see me but not my hubby. They said and I quote, "Hey baby you looking real good in your new Camaro". I instantly got hot as my hubby looked around me at the guys and said, "Excuse me, she's looking what???" The guy said "Oh my bad man ya'll got a really nice car." Man that light couldn't turn green fast enough. My hubby jokingly said, "Turn around it's time to take this thing back. You are getting too many eyes."

Delivery day

Answered the phone and the driver said "...I'm outside your front door now..." Walked out my front door to this:

The first night I drove it, went to the Dog and Suds drive in and totally disrupted the place. people left their cars to take pictures, all the girl car hops took their turns sitting in the drivers seat,the guys doing the cooking took turns coming out for a look, a police cruiser pulled in to see what the commotion was about and he had a lot of questions (he drives a Mustang)!! Probably one of the most memorable eating experiences I'v ever had.

I bet it's nothing like that feeling of hearing him say "I'm right outside your front door" and opening the door to that. That initial excitement just can't be discribed can it? Now that's a memorable moment.

I've posted this before but I just can't forget my first trip South exactly one year ago on the Garden State Parkwey in NJ when not one but two female toll takers said "nice car" as I paid my toll.
Now how many cars do they NOT look at in the course of a day ?
Complements cannot get any better than that.

So many great moments, another coincidence happened the first night I brought Trigger home. Husband and I went out for chinese and my fortune cookie read: "Something on four wheels will soon be a fun investment for you". I took our (usual) waitress outside after showing her the fortune, and she flipped when I showed her the Camaro. How often do fortune cookies really come true?
I kept that fortune, it is laminated on my window sticker now! Yes, I had my window sticker laminated...

Went to the Colorado Camaro Club car show back the end of May, but I hadn't entered my car so I just parked in the parking lot, maybe 50 feet from the show cars. I had both my sons with me and we had a great time looking at the cars, maybe 30 minutes.

When we were walking back to my car, there were about 10 people in 3 different groups standing around looking at her! That was twice as many as I had seen looking at any of the cars IN the show. As I walked up and hit the open button, all of them looked over at me... I opened the doors and hood up for them to take a look, and they were all over it. As my sons and I got in and drove away, they started to move off to the car show...but I had given them a little car show all my own. That was too

1st day, put 130+ miles on her just driving around town, lots of compliments. Best one was last Friday. Pulling up in the outside turn lane to get on to the hwy, and saw I was going to get next to this kid, probably about 20, blasting rap music. As soon as I get next to him, music gets turned down and I look over, his jaw = . He then proceeds that with "Man that is such a beautiful car. It's fking ridiculous!" I respond with a smirk and say "I KNOW!"

Many girls winking, waving and doing other things, lol.

Just driving it everyday is memorable!

Every moment of every day is memorable with my baby

But some of the best
1 -- Delivery day -- dealer drove her down to me - so the drive home from work, wondering if I'd cross paths with my car on the ride home - then sitting, waiting with butterflies in my stomach for the moment she'd pull into the driveway -- and then running out of the house and practically mowing down my sales guy b/c I was so exstatic to see my baby and take posession fo those keys

2 -- Having her for a week (if that) and having two kids in an older Mustang GT pointing and checking out my car - I pulled out behind them and the kid in the passenger seat turned around and took a picture of her with his phone - that wasy hilarious. One of the first instances of people gawking that I saw.

3 -- Going to the RICOA car show with the New England crew -- driving down the road in a caravan of 19 Camaro's - giggling the whole way (Camaro's as far as you cna see front and back - nothing better - I envy those who caravaned to C5 Fest!) and scoring the win for best group participation (and a third place for Cherry in her category, unexpectedly)


I'm sure the next big thrill will be in a few days when she turns the big '1'
I my baby

Delivery day and my first drive, going to my first car show the very next day and being the center of attention because there were no other new camaros there, and like someone else said this little kid of about 4 years old walking out of a store with his mom says "look mom it's bumblebee" she said only it's blue!! He said "can we get one too?" (she was driving a saturn sky that wasn't too bad.) Camaro fest and being part of the best brother/sisterhood there is besides harley davidson!
