Scott's="Defining Moment's"

[BLU BY U]

The other week when I read Scott's write up on the homepage, I was thinking about how much he has put into this amazing car (along with a lot of other's). He, and the other's just can't imagine all of the ways this 5th gen. styling has touched us. It takes me back to when I remember first noticing camaro's when I was about 8, in cough...cough '71. One of my (soon to be)best friend's that lived two houses up had a '68, with cragar mags,m-50's on the back, L-88 hood, header style sidepipes. I mean that would'nt catch a little boy's eye's when it roared by... would it? Fast forward quite a few year's later, that friend would lose his life in a '69 camaro, Sad, Sad day! From that day on I always had a camaro around, all first gens. and that helped me to always keep his memory alive. I know if he were here today, he would have a 5th gen. also. This take's me back to reading the "Defining Moment's" on the homepage. When I got to the end of the article, and saw they put the picture I took of my car with Scott beside it, it just some how took me back in time all over again to the early days. So, in closing I just want to say A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE THIS CAR POSSIBLE!!! It takes me back in time, every time I look at it.

I really appreciate your story and am sad for your loss. I think this "Car" rbings so many things to so many different people. Thought of yester year, some good, some not so good, when life was really a simple life. Friday night football games, hot dates on Saturday night and the wonderful smell of spring, the cill of early fall.....it doesn't get better than that or to coin a phrase from today " Priceless". It brings back a time when men bonded with their sons turning a wrench in the yard, although this one is alot more advanced still the concept is the same. Mine is called Dr Jkel, and it is so neat to hear my boys say, Let's take Dr Jkel to the game, or Can we PLEASE take Dr. Jkel to practice? As my little boy tells everyone that Dr Jkel is his and it is just on loan to me for a little while.

I know people have put their heart and soul into the resurrection of this icon and for one I am very glad.

Blu By U, I am truly sorry about your friend and know that he would be proud of your continued support.

I look forward to the day when my oldest gets to the age when he learns to drive, it will be an intersting day when I pull over to the side of a deserted country road as say " Ok it's your turn, gotta learn sometime" The memories he and I will have. These ae just a few of defining moments that I truly look forward to.

Thank You. Well said. Most parent's don't look forward to the day when there kid's start to drive.LOL. Our kids are already grown,and moved out. The other day our daughter told us that since she and her brother have moved out, that me and my wife are having to much fun,LOL. Every parent needs to spend as much time with there kid's as possible, cause i'm telling ya they will be up and, out of the house, before you know it. So cherish every moment you have with them, and go make some memories.

Thanks,I got them at the dealership, from the part's dept. They are the one's for the back, they have some curve to them, but will flatten out when you put them on.
