Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
Thanks man! I'll be sure to only wear crappy clothes

I bought the car used, was owned by an elderly gentleman who only traded it in because his wife wanted a convertible. It has 29k miles on the 3.6, and the 6 speed makes it a fun car to drive. I traded in my previous work car that I used before I went back to graduate school, a 2012 sonic LTZ. Great car, but no camaro.
Hello Josh,

Thanks for joining us. Congrats on your Camaro! How was the initial drive?

hi William. It was good. The clutch in the camaro compared to the sonic is a huge difference, and the long push of the pedal took a little bit to get used to, but that was the only real adjustment it took.

I was extremely impressed with the power of the 3.6, and the "no bs" attitude of the transmission. Really feels like you're driving a sports car, not a cheaper version of a sports car like the 6 cyl Challenger. The 6 cyl mustang packs a pretty good punch too, but the transmission feels like you're driving a family car. This is probably better for most people, but for me, it was the attitude of the Camaro that sold me on the car. (I'm not bias against either car. Owned 3 mustangs and 3 F-bodies)

Probably my favorite thing about the car (outside of the looks) is when i am sitting at a stop light, the shifter is shaking, just like the classic muscle cars, and even my 01 SS did.

Today, instead of installing my refurbished SS take-offs, I got to look at my car, which has now been named "Black Betty", with snow on it. :/
