Why is the term "Maro" frowned upon, while "Stang" is accepted? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I usually just refer to my car as the SS. Sounds more badass in my opinion.

Elementary, Watson.....

One would never call a 4-star General (Military) "Dude!" (.....and live to tell about it...) -- nor would one summon the attention of Royalty by bellowing: "Yeo - Crown-wearing dude!" --

It's a matter of respect!

Thanks to the mod that took care of that little fiasco.

Censored, even. Things happen so fast around here but it looks like the board's got a great mod crew.

Kudo's........I'm glad to see that we agree on the more important aspects of life, or whats missing in todays.......push the reset button on the game console world. Once the sacridness of all the respect in things has gone awash.............nothing familar from the past will be identifiable.

diver88 · 11-14-2011, 02:31 PM

coming from a rust bucket owner, I find the term "stang" extremely offensive also. I like the actual name Camaro, that's what I've always called mine and not "SS" or "Chevy" or "67".. just Camaro. now strangely enough, the other four I owned I just called them, "Z/28"....

oh, and the one that really bugs me is when the "Stang Forum Guys" call it the Slowmaro.....no class or respect at all.

Not to thread jack, but is that a VR or IOM car you've got in your sig? It's so hard to tell with some cameras/lighting conditions.

Both good points! I ask because I'm actually working on a trade in and I'm going back and forth on which color I should move to. VR looks great in the shade, but from the pics I've seen, it seems to have a pinkish hue in the sun. I hate that. IOM, on the other hand looks gorgeous in the sun, but seems a little tacky in the shade. I'm going

.

Sorry to thread jack again lol.
