The kid that came to get me from the waiting room when my car was done was asking me all kinds of questions about my mods, etc. He really seemed to like the car. I was talking to him for a few minutes and as we were chatting, most of the other kids in the shop had kinda gravitated to where we were standing next to my car in the bay.

I backed the car out and the kid that had been talking to me asked me if I could give the car a rev or two "for the guys in the shop". Sure man, no problem. Gave them a couple good revs and then lit the tires up for a few feet for them.

Those kids were jumping up and down, pumping their fists and hollering in support!! It was awesome. It looked like I just handed each of them $100 bill. It was actually the best moment I've had in terms of appreciation for my car yet. Good times.
haha Love the story bro, I was getting new tires the other month from discount tire, and the guy that came out to look at the tires, could not stop smiling and was asking a bunch of questions about the car and told me one day he will get a car like this.

So you have no one in my story...

I'm standing in a parking lot next to the department store and behind my Camaro passed the old man.
He stood for a moment and phoned.
In a few moments, the police arrived.

The policeman greeted me and asked me for the papers.
.... but no problem for me.
I am a firefighter and we are colleagues of the Integrated Rescue System.

Everything was okay and the policeman wanted to leave.
I say what happened?

That he was notified of the promotion of Nazism.
Nazism?????

The grandfather saw the SS at the back and so I was the promoter of Waffen-SS

I shook a head and said he would call me sturmbannführer George

A while back I just parked my car and was walking into the mall. As I walked past a car ...the door was open and an older guy was glaring at me. He then said "hey" why is your car so loud? Do you think everybody wants to hear that crap? I said excuse me? I was shocked. I was polite but he became more aggressive and said its illegal and and this other crap. I made a thread about it with more details. Long story short this guy ripped into me pretty hard. I was then not polite. It was weird getting a talking to by an older person when I'm in my 40s myself.

I've seen that more than once. They are looking to see if you have three pedals. You know, a cool Camaro.
One guy even said to me, as I came out of a store and caught him, "I see you have the stick shift!" "You can't buy a Camaro with an automatic," I replied. "Oh, I've seen them." "Well, I couldn't buy a Camaro with an automatic."

That's why all the imports are badged as RS. Chevy only shipped 2SS to Europe.
You can't blame the old dude. He has seen terror we can't even begin to imagine.

Okay. Serious stuff done.
How about funny?


I have my friend in the Camaro. We are tripping along in traffic, ~40MPH, and the car in front of me signals a right. We had just enough space to jump to the left if I sped up. So I drop from 4th to 2nd, hammer the throttle, pop the clutch and switch lanes.

His shoes stayed on the floor and his feet went back.
"Wow, you knocked my shoes off!"

He leans down and starts reaching under the dash and the signal turns red so I begin to brake. He says, "I can't reach them," and unlatches the seat to move it forward before I could say, "Wait until we stop."
Well, I can't stop braking, so the predictable thing happens and the seat slams forward forcing his head into the dash.
He sits back up with his shoes in one hand, rubbing his forehead with the other.
Now, anyone our age was born with manual seats and has to know better, so it made me

Driving the Green Flash is in itself an experience........everybody LOVES this car, especially the ladies. If I wasn't married it would be what I call a Panty-dropper!!

One time I pulled into a gas station and these two babes were eyeing it up, came over and asked for a ride and how fast it was. Of course, I said sorry, but I"m married.

And then there's the fart can challengers. Why they want to race all the time is beyond me.......I wouldn't waste my gas on that Jap Junk!!!

Happy Motoring!!!!
