I got my own BumbleBee!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Aloha everyone. So I am 44, married with 2 kids and have never owned a sports car. I fell in love with the Camaro all over again when it debuted in the Transformers. I loved the look of that car. But, alas....it wasnt practical for a family man. My 11 year old F150 was getting high in miles and was due for an upgrade. My wife humored me and let me test drive a Camaro....it was all over after that. No other car could compare. So, 5 days ago I drove of the lot in my 2014 Camaro 2SS convertible. I wanted something with the big engine...but couldnt justify the extra 10k for the ZL1. And yes....it's Bumblebee yellow. I love it....my kids think its amazing....it certainly turns heads. Joined the forums hoping to get some good advice and tips on cleaning/maint./upgrades/etc.

PS: My 11 year old daughter made that pic for me prior to me even leaving the dealership.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
