It's freaking Corvette Country here. I've stopped counting how many Camaros I see when I drive to work and back home. And I'll be damned if I don't see a dozen lifted trucks and Jeeps with ridiculously big tires everyday.

I can't blame them though, since I ordered a 2011 Camaro myself. haha

I'm guessing that the explanation is if you are young and ballsy enough to fly helicopters for the Army in times of war, you are also stupid enough to drop cash for generally impractical cars.
So i guess we can count you in that list too.

Very true....Its not a bad thing, it just means the camaro is selling really well. Around me, I'm the only 2010 plus mustang and there are many more camaro's. I constantly get looks and thumbs up, from almost everyone but the punk kids driving daddy's camaro (same goes for any young kid driving a nice car their parents bought them).

I suppose it's a good thing it's prospering, but It's odd from having the only Camaro in your town to being like the 30th.

Eh.

As long as it doesn't gain Mustang status where you see about 5 behind every light, then it should be okay.

I haven't seen one since Friday. We pulled into the grocery store parking lot and saw a pretty Victory Red one, of course we had to park next to her.

It's been a long tradition for pilots to get a new Corvette when they graduate. Since that has been going on (definitely through the Vietnam era), Ft. Rucker saw tons of Corvettes.

On the other side of the world in AZ, there are only about 5 or 6 daily drivers I see at work. We have more Corvettes on a daily basis than new Camaros. This is at a company of more than 4,000 folks.

I see 4th gens pretty often but im lucky if i see even 1 5th gen and i drive up to 50 miles a day. Usually i see about 1 or 2 5th gen's a week through all my driving. Now mustangs i see like crazy which really makes me glad im going with the Camaro (even if the new stangs are technically faster now lol).
