Re: Kid Rock Given 2011 Camaro SS For His Birthday

Note the words I used, buds...

There's a reason there are not as many companies making them as there used to.
In the 70s, you could typically buy 2 kinds of vehicles: RWD cars and RWD pickup trucks.

Now, there are SUVs, Crossovers, FWD econoboxes, FWD sedans, AWD sedans (not as many as I wish) and yes...a few RWD sedans...and everything in between. Why? Because that is what people are buying. The best word I think to be used about the automobile market is "fragmented".

None of this changes my main point that tossing a new Camaro to a celeb was a great marketing and advertising move at a cheap price.

That is NOT a good looking custom Camaro. Oh, and when using black wheels (which I generally do not favor), it helps to keep the tires black and shiny. Otherwise, they look grey against the black wheel. (This may be because of the lighting / camera flash in this case, however.)

A stock RS looks 10x better.

Arrow NEWS: Video: Chevrolet gives Kid Rock custom Camaro for his 40th birthday

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Etc., Videos, Chevrolet, Celebrities


Kid Rock receives a Camaro for his birthday - Click above to watch video after the jump

Chevrolet and NASCAR racer Jimmie Johnson teamed up to make Kid Rock's recent birthday party one the Detroit city rocker will likely never forget. During the singer's 40th birthday celebration concert, Johnson presented Rock a brand-new Chevrolet Camaro on behalf of the Bow Tie brand. You know, because if there's anyone who can't afford to buy his own car, it's Kid Rock. Sarcasm aside, Rock seemed genuinely surprised and grateful for the gift, even going so far as to ask if he was being punked.

No, sir. That's the rest of us.

Ironically, the birthday celebration concert that Kid threw himself was being held at Ford Field. The one-off Camaro also came with special graphics slathered over the hood, doors and back glass, as well as a personalized "BADASS" license plate. We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried. You can hit the jump to see a video of the gift-giving for yourself.
