Thanks man. My issue was starting a family really young (19 yrs old), and getting custody of my daughters, before I really had a chance to get myself setup. Grew up, went back to school and now that I'm 47, all the hardships of being young & dumb sorted themselves out, and everything is great. We definitely didn't pay 100% of the weddings but there was definitely an out of pocket expense on our behalf. My wife and I are also anticipating the birth of granddaughter #4 in about 1 month, so allot to look forward to in the next 3-5 weeks.

On the plaque, is the "X" in the state abbreviation a dig at them since you're in Ohio?

This is probably something simple that's going right over my head, but why is the M in Michigan X'd out on the fuse box plaque?

Yea guys, it's definitely a dig. It's a tradition during rivalry week for OSU to X out anything with an "M" in the word. It's all in good fun. Love the rivalry. Michigan definitely had our number the last 2 years!!!

Yea, my garage is a nice size. 3rd bay is 34' deep due to previous owners storing their RV inside during the winter. It's a blessing to have it. Being a lawn care nut and a detailing nerd, I need all the the room I can get. I have allot of organizing to do. I literally shoved everything aside to get the Camaro inside, as it snowed later that evening.

But now the important questions- when you gonna figure out how to post some pics AND more importantly, where did you find the new fuel door cover? I want to change mine and I can't find'em anywhere!! Thanks.

The Plaque was from deadbranddesigns.com and I got the fuel door from Phastek.

Thanks to everyone else that commented. I appreciate it.

Nice, congrats. That said, there's not a flake of snow or drop of water on the driveway, grass, or pavement in those photos. Drive the thing!

Congratulations on a great looking ride! I know the feeling, I got my first Camaro after two grandkids. Enjoy.

CONGRATS on joining the Camaro club!
I waited nearly 30 years myself to finally get my Camaro dream car. Mind you I ordered a 2022 in January 2022, was supposed to be delivered May 23rd to the dealership, found out May 2nd it had gotten stolen from the plant and wrecked. Had to get a 2023 since 2022's were ramping down production, replacement car was completed July 12th and FINALLY got to the dealership on September 6th, 2023. Hell of a journey for me to get my first Camaro but it's nice to have it in the garage now!
Enjoy your new Camaro!!

[79 TransAm that never was]

Congrats, shes a beauty!
Your story sorta reminds me of mine...
In 1978 (when I was a young lad) I ordered a 1979 trans am with all the goodies I wanted. Gold in color, manual, T-tops, 400 CI V8, etc.

I waited, and waited, and waited, until I finally said the heck with it. Went into the dealership and got my deposit back. Then I bought a truck. Though I had lots of fun with the truck 4-wheeling, I always wished I'd have gotten that car. Well guess what? Within a week of my truck purchase the dealer calls and says "your car's here, do you want it"? Talk about being mad...

I've regretted the decision ever since and have never had a "sports car" once getting married, having kids, etc.
Kids are all out on their own and after hearing that this may be the Camaro's last hurrah, I decided to order a LT1 exactly the way I want it.
And here I am again...Ordered the vehicle Dec. 6, and 3 and a half months later the dealer still hasn't gotten an allocation! Very frustrating that 40 years later GM still can't fill an order. I'm trying to be patient, but the closer it get's to the model change-over to 2024 the angrier and more frustrated I get!

Enjoy your ride!

You chose the option code I would choose. Not only is the LT1 the least expensive way to get the go fast goodies, it also comes with the prettiest front end. To me the front end on the higher option level Camaros is too overdone, to the point of being gaudy looking even. Congrats on the new ride, it's beautiful!

From Echos post on March 18/23. I've already have bought a build plaque.

I'm soon to be a new Camaro owner. How did you get that build plaque?

Congratulations on the new Grandbaby on the way, I have 4 and another on the way, starting young and not ready is a up hill climb. Both my girls were not ready and realize what they gave up. Congratulations to you , raising you daughters, going back to school and doing well.
You have so much time ahead of you, 47 + 20 for me. Enjoy life and your Camaro my Friend.
Happy Motoring

Sweet ride. Looks like my 22 4 banger, 6 speed.
