Default 20 Plus Years Waiting...

Over 20 years ago, hitched a ride with my mom's friend in her 69 Camaro convertible (think it was a 69). Wanted one ever since. But as kids and dogs came into the picture, the only practical choice of vehicles for our camping trips, etc was of the mini-van variety. And so many years later, the lease on yet another mini-van is about to expire and I'm finally getting what I've been waiting for! 2011, 2LT/RS Silver /w Black Stripes! Thanks to everyone on the forums for pumping me up even more than I already was. If all goes well, I should be picking her up later today. The last 2 weeks of waiting has been killer. Cannot wait! I will post pics when I get her. Thanks again everyone! I look forward to lots of fun reading on here - and driving out there!

Same here. I've driven a Toyota Pick-up 4wd for 19 years. My wife has had 3 buicks in this time frame and was talking about getting another. I had to pull rank and remind her I am due a vehicle. I bought mine(Camaro) used. Was a rental but in very good condition. 2010 metalic gray SS2 I believe. Has heated leather seats and gages on the console. 20" wheels, automatic transmission. My brother had a 67 SS Camaro as a teenager. It was bad to the bone. At the time they were hard to find and to expensive in good shape. I owned 2 Nova's as a teen, but still thought the Camaro was king. And at 39 years old I love mine. Some call it mid life crisis, I call it the most geometric pleasing car on the road. Got to love the geometry of the fifth generation Camaro. I'll post pics when i figure out how to on this forum.


Good Luck

Sweetness - Gratz to you! Weekend just passed was fantastic weather and I practically slept in my car, lol. I was out and about driving just for the sake of it and had a great first weekend with her. Speaking of figuring out how to post pics...I can't even view the pic gallery for some reason. Insufficient priveleges. What's up with that?

To answer your question about "insufficient priveledges," I think you need 10 posts (can't be in "off topic" section) to create/view your own photo gallery, hopefully that helps. Congrats on your Camaro.
