Now tell me that this wouldn't piss anybody off that owns a Camaro...he proceeded to say to me "this is the first Camaro I've seen in real life, no offense but I'm not impressed at all. I would have bought a vette before I would have spent big money on one of these".

I didn't say a word to the a-hole, I just walked away. Like he couldn't have kept that to himself, and he followed me through the parking lot just to tell me that!!

If someone follows you home, KEEP ON DRIVING and stop somewhere public. You don't know WHY they are following you home. You could be carjacked, mugged, or wake up in the morning with no wheels or no car.

I havent had my car for a week... and yes im getting a little tired of it. People I know, dont mind at all, the tons of complete strangers hassling me for 10-15 mins apiece, I do kinda mind. After a while it just gets old. I feel like I gotta start waking up 30 mins earlier so I can make it into work on time! So far today im good, no BS. But the day is very young!

I just wanna enjoy my car in peace! People stop when I have my car out of the garage and pull into my driveway to talk to me about it... that pisses me off! Im home, this is time for me to relax, go away!

Evil- sorry to give you what you wanted to hear. Don't you have enough interest in Mustangs to troll your own forum?

I parked my Camaro right next to a Mustang GT at a local cruise in, once I got there no one was interested in the Mustang. The guy that owned it was a great guy and I told him I liked his car, he said he wished he would have waited until the Camaro's came out because he liked my Camaro more than his Mustang!

Too much attention from having the hottest car around? Tough life, I tell ya my heart bleeds.

67camaro99 · 06-28-2009, 11:54 PM

Tired... are you kidding.... expect it, enjoy it... in a short time... it will blend with the masses...

As I drive, you can see people on the street, smile as they realize they are seeing greatness in real life...
We took out a couple of Camaros yesterday, and My sister drove my 2010 ( I am trying to prevent her from getting an IS350)... and first thing she told me when we got to destination, was "Oh my God, everyone just stares... you can see them slow down, and speed up just to get a better look"...
Welcome to my world... LOL

I love it! The only thing I've found annoying is the folks wanting to race on busy streets..... not gonna do it!

I get the same treatment in mine, although the best was a cop pulled up next to me and motioned so I rolled down the window to see what I had done wrong, much to my surprise he says "I gotta ask.. Where did you get it? I'm am sooo jealous... I might even let you speed a little.." Man That Rocks!

badkarma · 06-30-2009, 06:59 PM

I like the attention except for every ricer wanting to try me.

My wife hates the attention. I just say, "Honey they ain't looking at the car, it's your boobies."

Not too bad. A lot of double takes, a few thumbs up and a few people talking about it when I get out somewhere but I haven't really gone anywhere much to leave it alone yet. All positive comments and no crazy people yet or racer wannabee's. So just a light ego stroking.
