Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My next door neighbor just took home a 2012 Camaro Convertible. When he moved in he eyed my 2011 and gave me lots of compliments about it. I have a sunroof, and I really didn't want a 'vert but it sure does look good. He traded in a Mercedes SLK. He even bought the same color! I guess I need to point him at Camaro5 now. My reaction: the thread title says it all. I walked over and shook his hand to congratulate him.

ScientistMartin · 10-25-2011, 04:20 PM

yeah, invite him onto this website

Totally get him to become a member. You can tell him about all cool men you've met on the internet but never actually met in person.

^*my girlfriend refers to anyone I met through the forum as "an older guy you met on the internet in some chat room." It's in a joking way though, kind of become a inside joke between us*

Hilarious...He could've at least gotten a different color. I would never do this

Vengeance Graphix · 10-25-2011, 04:44 PM

comeinpeace · 10-25-2011, 04:45 PM

STOP!
both of your cars are absolutely gorgeous-he must have really really liked your ride
(everyone does)
and i too traded in a benz for a camaro

tomlink · 10-25-2011, 04:53 PM

EVERY Camaro is gorgeous.

His SLK was also red (very close to Victory red), so I know he likes the color. We live next to one another so obviously the same tastes in things. One difference: he roots for the Red Sox and I the Yankees, but we still agree that watching those two teams play is the best baseball. Don't dis him here so I can actually invite him to Camaro5!

I would love to have another 5th gen in my neighborhood... but I don't know how I would react if my adjacent neighbor got the exact same color....

Thank God for headers and cam swaps.

Yours looks better to me

heRS · 10-25-2011, 05:02 PM

That's pretty cool, you sold him on Camaro!

Caspers2SSRS · 10-25-2011, 05:17 PM

Next time you're hanging with the neighbor............pat him on the shoulder and in you're best Bill Ingvall voice say.............Heres your sign! When he asks.........do what? Tell him...........I guess this means we're just a couple of NC Rednecks now..........lol Oh! Nice Ride's.
