One of the best experiences happened one day at the grocery store parking lot when an attractive well dressed middle age women approached and asked what I was driving. She walked around the car and looked at the beige / charcoal interior. I asked if she would like to sit in it and she said yes. After about 10 mins she said this is the car my husband needs but he doesn't know it "yet" and we laughed! I gave her the name of my dealer sales agent and we parted ways.
She wanted the D....

I think the most awkward, but awesome moment I've had is when a pretty girl made her boyfriend or husband take a picture of my car, and relay a compliment to me. He really didn't look happy saying "she said she loves your car" then rolling the window up quickly hahah

On a recent trip up the Northern California coast, the nor cal Camaros group did a road trip with 5 cars. We went threw a bunch of small towns with everyone getting a case of whiplash. It was fun to watch them stare at us and twist their necks.

The Camaro club here in Denver does a few cruises, and we've had as many as 25 in a group. Even had the cops confused...

It was kind of strange in July 2009 when I was followed off of the interstate for two miles to my house, to ask me what kind of car I was driving.

Cool

I had my first gawker moment not 30 minutes off the dealer lot. I was turning a corner in downtown Dallas and a guy standing at the corner gave my new SS the full slack-jawed, swivel-head treatment as I went by. It was a pretty cool moment, and just a part of the unfolding realization of just what a great car I now have.
