I am currently in Iraq serving my country. My mission here is to provide recovery support for convoys that go out on random missions. Well tonight was a special one for me I guess. We were driving along at around midnight doing a resupply to one of the bases we go to outside of Bagdad when out of the corner of my eye i see a sign on the side of the road up on a light pole. What do i see? I see the smiling front grill of a 2010 Chevy Camaro. Well before i get the "this thread is worthless without pics" smilies, i attempt to retrieve my camera from its cubby hole in my wrecker but with no avail. The sign I guess was to signify there was a used car lot there because there were many cars in assorted states of dissaray. Well i guess the point of all this is that this car has touched so many places in this world that we haven't even come to realize yet. Hell even in Iraq its here lol.

Much respect for my brothers out there. i should be coming out next year

Vash · 04-16-2009, 12:00 AM

Well I guess I wanted to ignore the sign part so the fantasy of some Iraqi's drooling on an actual CTF.

Futurcamownr · 04-16-2009, 12:04 AM

Well let me tell you, with all the crap cars the Iraqi people manage to keep running, i would think that if they were to see a new CTF they would poop themselves.
