Ahh New Camaro Love!

I am absolutely in head over heels for my new Camaro! I've had it only a short time now and every time I get in it I fall in love all over again.

Today two guys came up to me at the gas station while I was pumping gas and said, "That's a bad car!!" They were all smiles and walking around it, admiring it.

Then on my way home from lunch, a silver Camaro passed me so I waved out of the sunroof and he waved back. Don't know why but that made my day. I guess I expected him to ignore me since I know other Camaro drivers don't typically wave back or acknowledge you when you pass.

I guess it's silly but it's the little things, right? I get razzed by my Mopar friends for buying a Camaro, but it's the best car I've ever had!

eta: Pic of my new baby!

It is a good feeling to look and drive them. Tell your mopar buddies to take a good look at the front end while it's parked because on the road they will see enough of the rear end. Car looks good!

Get used to it! We've had our Camaro for 3 years this month and still get tons of attention. They are just plain bad ass and sexy at the same time! Welcome to the perma grin club. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! Best part is that I'm sure no one expects a female to own it! :~p

I've done a couple things so far and I plan to lower it eventually and get new exhaust for a meaner stance and sound, but I also love it as-is so just enjoying it for now.

I've been an admirer for 5 years and recently got a Camaro myself. I can understand the feeling you get when someone whips their head to check out your Camaro or compliments you randomly "Cool car!". From my family and coworkers to strangers at the pump and even at my apartment complex, nothing but praise on the 2014 Camaro. Even my father-in-law who prefers Dodge for new cars and Toyotas for anything older than 25 years.

I see you've been around a month already so I'm a bit late to the C5 welcoming party, but welcome to the board and congrats on the awesome car!

People on this forum have sold their Camaros for this exact reason

lol for real? I waved at another Camaro and they ignored me, but that didn't even phase me (they aren't obligated or anything and probably didn't see me). I only cared about the guy who waved back. Was pretty cool!

But I'm in a Mopar car club (I also have a '13 Challenger, not PCP but Silver) and enjoy the car love. :~p
