Yup. Headlight scar. My car has Kooks headers. Pretty aggressive cold start. When I cold start my car, the white car goes "Oh, that's adorable" then shakes the neighborhood.

Drove my wife to a Dr's appt. this afternoon and while sitting in the waiting room a woman came in and while checking in asked the receptionist "Whose pretty blue car is that?" I think she thought it was one of the employee's cars since I parked at that end of the building. On our way out I told the receptionist it was mine and got a big smile (you can still tell, even with a mask on).

Omg I was going to let ur comments slide but seriously?! What do u know or understand about women that makes you think you can categorize them into “Mustang drivers”?! Or that the car is too masculine for a woman? I’m on my 2nd gen 6 SS and previously owned 2 4th gen Z28’s. And yes I can drive them. Please don’t assume everyone on this forum or that is a car enthusiast is a man. My husband is so proud of my love of performance cars and brags to his friends that his wife can appreciate a bad ass car and handle one on a daily basis. Honestly…. I just can’t

You realize that it's a 6 year-old comment?

...but the poster is still very much active

Hekate1, I hear you, but there's no reason to take it personally. Nobody says women can't be badass drivers (actually, two of the best three drivers I ever rode shotgun to were ladies), the comment was simply a statistics based observation that highlights typical design preferences. The Camaro has those sharply angled lines that are typical of male action hero props, some even went as far as to call the design cartoonish. That's all.

These pictures speak for themselves of what people think of a Camaro. This happened at a Target store in Garland. I don't live there but I stopped at Target to pick up a couple of things. The loss prevention guys pulled up the security footage of the parking lot and said a work truck pulled up and parked next to my Camaro. I parked way out in the lot away from other cars. A guy and girl get out. Guy empties his spittoon of tobacco juice on my trunk. They then started to walk toward the door to enter the store but must have realized they were on camera and turned around and left. Loss prevention told me if they had come inside the store and bought something, he would be able to ID them. Unfortunately, I parked so far out in the parking lot that he could not read their license plate.

The other pic is when I got egged at a random store.

You have no idea how many ways that would irritate me to no end.

I would have requested the security camera footage just to track the SOB down and file a police report for vandalism.

Because I hold grudges.

That is seriously messed up. I stopped parking way out in no mans land because it always seems to draw the attention of someone wanting to fuc^& with you just because you parked out there. It irritates me to no end that people think.. Oh he parked way out here so now I'm going to fuc&^ with him. Park right next to him, do what they did to you... etc. People are a$$ holes..

This morning the guy behind me was admiring my car while stopped at a stoplight. Gave the car a little rev before moving away from the light. Saw him in the mirror mouth "danm" as I pulled away. Then I went through a drive thru at a local place to grab breakfast and the lady was hanging out the window checking out the car. Finally, when I stopped to get gas an older lady on her way to church pulled up beside me to get gas and told me she really liked my car.

It's amazing at the attention the car gets.

Just got my LT1 yesterday. While on the test drive through a neighborhood a guy out on his lawn gave me a thumbs up. Then later at the grocery store a lady said my car looks wonderful. Then got a nod on the way home from a 5th gen SS driver. Off to a good start, lol.
