Albuquerque Cruising!

[Racer-X]

1425 welcome can't wait to see your Camaro. We are looking at either the blue or synergy green for the wife.

[QUOTE=Bethgrce;2099801] Might have to look at cheaper options.... QUOTE]

LOL...first thing I thought of when you said "cheaper options" was...get rid of the dog. LMAO...sorry. The Race Ready setup is a good value. Might pay more to have it installed then the Noweeds deal, but overall it will be hundreds less. And you'll get the same effect.

Just talked to Jim and hopefully late late late late tonight.

I certainly hope so. I have to work a 14 hour day tomorrow to make up for getting out early to pick up the car that 2 different people told me was ready yesterday.... And Saturday (even thought they are closed) I'll be busy all day working for the Newspaper.

Bryan...please get a Synergy Green car if you can't get an OG Aqua Blue. The green is growing on us!

Waiting for the SS in that color to be available....the wife won't settle for a V6.

LOL

think she saw the Aqua blue, but I cannot find anything on it. she said she saw a cool blue but again have not ever seen it since.

if anyone has a link to some photos of the color that would be awesome.

Ivan, you should drop the Sizzle off for the show (will keep it safe) LOL and no risk of sand blasting from the pavilion. LOL

Aqua Blue Metallic was taken off the ordering schedule in September of last year. So all your ABM (rarer) cars are going to be slightly used. Might be a better deal. Not that you're in the market for an SS but there are a couple here on C5.com for sale that are way under sticker and have less than 10k miles. I've been eyeing them honestly.

The only other blue is Imperial Blue Metallic (IBM). 1425 has this color on his car. It's almost black in color until you see it up close. Definitely different from ABM.

I think that there are 3 ABM cars here in the Metro area. 1 SS on Base and two others out on the town. My sniper nieghbor says that there is a "new one" up here in the 87144. Those are the only ABMs I know about here.

Ironically, the Synergy Green color replaced the ABM on the color charts for the 4th quarter last year. So out with one and in with another would be the best way to discribe it.

Both colors, in my opinion, are love/hate. You either love it or hate it.

The IBM (call it light Black ) thread:

Get after that ABM if you find what you like. Totally sexy looking beasts!

If I had the chance to swap mine for a straight ABM 1 SS/LS3 car I'd do it in half a second. Even with all my goodies on mine.

Here's some of the ABM

ABM FTW!!!

ABM is really awesome! I have seen both. I saw a V6 ABM on Zuni a while back, and an SS on Menaul pulling into American furniture lot. I have also seen Synergy green V6 at the Coronado mall, and invited her to join our fun. If it was my choice, I'd probably pick ABM, although both colors are great! Really, is there a "bad" color on this amazing car???? See you all at the Track day on Saturday, and then hopefully Bryan's gig at Innovative Audio. Maybe I can sneak over to the car show at the Balloon fiesta park in the middle. It could be a very long day. We'll see how I hold up. Poor RS is completely swamped by his workload, and can't join us, but hopefully some of you others will jump in for some great fun.

Yessir.

Diana...I owe you some Coors Lights. Thank you.

The Sizz is in the Garage after a nice long cruise home from Car Crafters.

Got some homework to do before midnight AZ time so Im going to wrap that up ASAP and start posting up some pics! :(

Big THANKS to Curt today for pushing the troops at CC. Without his help all day, the car would still be there. Rediculous communications today! He kept me in the loop with every step that was taking place and even walked it out to the shop during his workload to keep the whips a crackin' over there. No words to express my satisfaction.

: clap:

I'll be back here in a few.....

Aqua Blue all day long! I thought the white would hold all the value in the future because they were suppose to be limited production. Didnt really like the ABM when they first started coming off the train, but after a while it started growing on me and now I wish I had one. I invited one of the owners to the none existing meet and greet the first sunday of this month, woops He has private plates and his wife seemed more excited about the track days than him, so hopefully someone will run into him and get him setup in this crowd. Been seeing a synergy at the softball field on friday nights, car is extra sexy too. Cant go wrong with either one and then theres always black lol.

Black Rules all....theres a reason 26.7% of all of em are built that way.

Cool. Maybe I'll go meet the guy over there Sunday to start making up for missing the Track Day last week.

Started the Bad Karma/Sizzle Thread in the Members Journal section. I'll get more up tomorrow.

Here's something to sleep on.....

Ivan......WOW!!! She's home!!!!! Home at last!!!!! Looks great! Can't wait to see her in person!
Bryan.....any color will be awesome! Once you get done customizing the inside....she will be all over it!

[cjingle]

We were all hesitant at Car Crafters about Ivan's stripe concept. But, as you can see, it turned out looking really good now that it's on the car. Jim did a great job of laying out the location of the stripes.

I'm still up in the air as to whether the "CAMARO" emblems should go back on the car as they may detract from the stripes. Jim was thinking of putting them below the stripes. That may look good.

Plus, Ivan still needs to get his "SS" emblem on the Heritage grille. But, he needs to leave some room for the Escort radar sensors that Bryan at IAS will put in .

We'll all get to see it at the SMS Track Day tomorrow. I'm glad it turned out so nice even though it took a little longer than we all hoped.

Ivan,

Very Nice!!! Excellent job by our friends at Car Crafters!!!! I can't wait to see it in person.
