And everyone thinks texting and driving is bad...

All you here these days is the dangers of texting and driving. How about driving your new camaro around? Is it just me or do people need to start paying attention to the road instead of staring at my car, come on people your gonna get in a wreck

You're spot on with that. I've had my beast for almost 10 months and on Monday I actually had a teenager get out of his mom's van and take a picture while I was stopped at a light.

Gotta admit, these cars are real head-turned for sure...

People aren't paying enough attention to my car for my liking....


If they were, I think they'd stop hitting me.

Actually it's quite the opposite....they are hypnotized by the beautiful woman's smile and sultry eyes they see behind the wheel!!!

It's a real head-turner the Camaro. I watched a guy on a harley about drive off into the ditch because he was rubbernecking at the Camaro.

Hah... yea every time I drive by a Camaro i tend to forget which direction I'm headed.. I still have the situational awareness to not hit anybody or drive off the road, but how can you not look at one of these things?

I've definitely been the cause of more than one "close call".

I've had two incidents already where people have gotten into an accident because they were paying attention to my car.

One, a SUV where the driver was yelling "Awesome Car" while I was stopped in a left turn lane. He was in the right-most lane, and proceeded to rear end the a car waiting for the light.

Another where a ricer tried to show off and rear ended someone while looking at my car. It probably didn't help that I was pointing and laughing at his car when he did this.

The RJT color is an awesome choice, it was my second pick actually, but apparently no body is paying attention to you in it!
