as i was working, i seen a 1999 hugger, and as always it caught my eye (all huggers do), but this one was especially odd.

It's base was a 1999 Camaro Z28/SS with the GTZ package. But it still had Manufacturer plates on it, and was numbered on the windshield "2".

Further more, the Manufacturer plates were dated "2010", and it had a Street Lethal Car club sticker on the back window..

and if that **** isnt odd enough, it was being driven by a woman approx 75 - 90 years of age...

wth is going on with this car, someone has to know..

PS- It also had some sort of exhaust set up, because stock LS1's dont sound the way this one did..

but whats with the man-plates on such an old car, Mule? and if its a mule why didnt they strip the stickers on it?

Confused.

I don't know what the deal is but i see that car every day. The woman that drives it isn't that old, shes 55-60 at the most.

It's no mule, i forgot the guys name, but it is an older couples car. It was bought brand new and sent to spectrewerks to have the work done. If you look closely, the ss hood isn't an ss hood, it is a custom scoop made to copy the ferrari style hood scoops, wider and lower, the car started life as a Z28. I have met the gentleman several times at the camaro shows locally, first at the old camaro street nationals at the tech center, and also at superfest. The guy has several camaros, a couple of very nice thirdgens, and a vette or two. The hugger has a 383 stroker, and custom interior also, the seats are wider and flatter, as the gentleman explained he is a little wider than the factory seat allow. You will rarely ever see him driving the car, it was bought for his wife. As for the manufacturer plates, i don't know, unless he is a GM exec, and has some ties?

My Mom's 55 man, and she's not sporting the Solid Silver hairdo like this lady is, I think we would be being kind to say she's 66, and even then I'm highly doubting it.

I was pretty much face to face with her today, real good look, she aint not 55 rofl.

Yea the Man-Plate is the oddiest part, I doubt even a CEO could tuck a privately owned, 8 year old car into the mass's without raising an eyebrow or two.

I guess some things are better left mysterys.

Oddly enough GM still owns many cars out ther with manufacturer plates, mostly on vehicles that celebrities drive. For example Arnold Swartzenager still has one of the first gas powered Hummers (1993 I believe) and since GM couldn't sell them back then they gave it to him to drive yet GM still has manufacturer plates.
