Christmas in February! I want to hear more about what you think of the color yellow. How does it look in the daylight. Does the car have the stripe package on it? What color is the interior? Is the yellow color carried out into the dash and down the doors? Pics please. Also, how does it sound? Ambient lighting? Did you trash the tires yet?

 

His? Him?

IMO, cars, like ships, are always female.

Great story though.

 

True, unless the driver is female Not that it would change this story any.

 

Great story Scott and congrats. Now get back to DTW and take some pics.

I remember and know the Mound/696 route you took very well. Breaking out of the Tech Center on a nice day with V8 rumble still sits in the memory banks as a highlight of life.

 

I posted all this on camaro5 as well and Scott responded there. He said he didn't want to brag, WHAT A GUY!!!! Has a great explanation of why he's a he and not a she!

Here is Scott's reply:

You know -- I really thought about it -- but I didn't want it to sound like I was bragging.

Chirpthird/SSOA is a smaller board where just about everyones' met each other -- that's why we call it 'The back porch' -- and that's kinda why I only posted it there....

...I hope no one will take offense that I didn't post it here or any other site.......


As to Ambient Lighting?

Well -- his 'official name' is ......A9000130 --- he roared to life on February
3rd.....and while he has a black leather interior -- he has cloth inserts on the doors and IP -- but DO NOT jump to conclusions on that one.........

As to the 'he' versus 'she' issue.......

I've always said "anything this muscular, and roars this loud had better be male..." --

I'm now in Louisville -- and can hardly wait to get back to Detroit -- altho it's my understanding that he may be under up to 8 inches of snow when I get back there........

Did not have a chance to take any pictures.........(OK......fine....as if I would know how to yank the darn things outta the camera in the first place....)


...........but I just happen to know that there are one or two people that may be seeing him shortly - and I'm sure they'll take pictures of him along with two of his brothers............

Thank you -- each of you -- for your kind words.

I would just LOVE to see the expressions on your faces the first time you drive one!

Tentative plan: a possible Ride and Drive at "Camaros at Carlisle/GM at Carlisle" the last weekend of June...........

 

i hope i have my camaro long before the ride and drive in june.

 

anyone know why they have cloth panels with the leather seats?

 

a minute Scott! I REMEMBER you indicating that a car with the Camaro's amount of certain male anatomical parts is definitely a male!

 

Wow I want even more now

 

So what about the ambient lighting...Scott started talking about it but never finished. Would be interested in knowing. Would also like to hear more about the cloth inserts as to why they are on the 2SS. Scott did say not to jump to conclusions so there obviously must be a reason for it.

 

Nope, still female IMO.

Because it's before the production start date?

Nothing to worry about. Yours will have leather.

 

I totally agree with you. My reasoning is that only women have as many sets of "shoes" as our cars. Then there's the whole "caressing her flanks with Zaino" thing as well.

 

What it means is if you have a 2LT or 2SS, you will have hard shiny plastic door & dash inserts.
Some of the early ones don't because they are pre-production. All the production cars will have the proper equipment.

Which is too bad because I want a 2SS and would much prefer the fabric inserts, even though that would mean giving up the ambient lighting.

 

A little to many ..............., but great story The camaro will soon be on the roads terrorizing everything else, been a long wait.

 

Thanks for sharing. Awesome! Its hard to "curb the enthusiam" as I wait for my order to arrive!
