OHIO CAMARO ENTHUSIASTS/OWNERS REPORT HERE

[1 RD JEWL]

I should see a name change to my user ID any day. I got an email from teh administrator confirming what I want it to be.

You should see me as " 1 RD JEWL " soon.

[FenwickHockey65]

I see the name change is done.

[1 RD JEWL]

Well let me start with what I have been doing. I have been doing little things for my wife (gifts) that she will find as she goes. I think this one is kind of cool and you guys can help if you like.

I bought Ginger a new 16G Red iPod Nano from the apple website. It came in a "[Product] Red TM" color that is a perfect match to the Red Jewel Tintcoat of the car. (By Chance-) I can sit in on the hood and it matches almost exactly. I also had it inscribed with 1 RD JEWL and another mushy personal quote. Well I am placing it in the glove box with a bow on it hooked up to the USB/Radio.

I loaded the following playlist of songs that are either specifically about driving or Driving/Racing inspired.

If you guys have any additions or suggestions on the order of the playlist, I am all ears. I have 31 songs so far.

[FenwickHockey65]

Well blah. Looks like I won't be able to go tomorrow, I still need to get some stuff together for college.

I will swing by KMart after the Mall this Eve. Have to clean the car up tomorrow anyway for the Big Suprise.

Please save mea spot. I won't be able to stay too long, finishing cleaning the house, but will be by so you all can see the Gills. I will post pics tomorrow. Plan to take a few updated pictures after I get her ready.

I will also bring some Camaro5 cards to hand out with our forum on the back.

Sigh. We will NOT be at KMart tonight and will probably will not go to Max and Erma's tomorrow. Our car is stuck in 2nd gear and needs a new transmission module doohinky which Langs has ordered for us.:(

Weeeellll, it looks like that's exactly what I'll be doing, although not by choice - the body shop just informed me that the Victory Red paint they ordered does not match! They weren't able to tell until they drove the car outside. So it looks like I'll be cruisin' in the Firebird at least through Mond.

Not sure - if I do, it'll be just me. The Firebird looks nice thanks to Zaino, but it's not show-worthy. Also I still need to hem my daughter's homecoming dress, but I might come out for awhile to gab, since I'll have to cut short my time at M&E tomorrow.

Hmmm, no Happy Birthday on the forum home page? Or is it tomorrow?

And you look fine now - the kid in the picture is way too skinny :-)

- on both counts!

I miss mine, too. :( The Firebird feels downright sluggish after driving the Camaro for three months. Hopefully my dealership will get the right paint color so I can say the same! So you'll be driving your 3rd gen tomorrow?

And you left off a former NASCAR theme song??? A list of driving songs is incomplete without Metallica's "Fuel." Also needs some KMFDM - "Son of a Gun" from their XTort CD should be the 5th gen Camaro's theme song! Hopefully she'll rest up so we can meet her tomorrow, if not tonight.

You'd better show for the Hocking Hills drive or else you might get kidnapped and thrown in someone's trunk.

Sorry to hear this. You don't have to have a Camaro to come to Max & Erma's tomorrow evening.

Bummer, sounds like way too many camaros are at the dealers getting fixed. Now I'm scared to take mine out of the garage.

I'm planning on swinging by Kmart sometime tonight.

I will cry if I can't go to that. It'll all depend on how sympathetic my professors are around that time.

Oh, man, that sux! But don't let it keep you from getting out tomorrow!

YES! That was some of my favorite cruising music when I was in college!

Just make sure your garage isn't really a Decepticon like mine was!

Another "how could we miss this one?"

[LadyinBlue]

Sorry I didn't make it out to K Mart, guys. Bunch of family stuff came up so Merlin is still resting safely in the garage.

From the sounds of all the casualties around here lately, unfortunately maybe that's a good thing...
