Thanks Odabo! I agree with your assessment of our cars. And the enjoyment grows as you get more and more familiar with the car and its capabilities. Even after a year of ownership I can't wait to get in the car and drive it.

BTW my nickname for my car is "The Beast" which kind of fits.

The only other car I've owned (and still own) that I enjoy driving almost as much is my Z. I've had that car for 20 years, but it also has so many suspension mods that it handles like a go kart.

Nice selection of subtle additions man. I think it looks better without the black door handles myself. Beautiful car indeed. Is your fuel door the GM door? I’m on the fence about adding one to my car.

Thanks! I agree with you about the black door handle covers. That's why I decided not to use them. Yes, my fuel door is the GM fuel door in black. I like the way it looks on the 1LE.

My wife and daughter gave me an insulated cup for Christmas with a Camaro related decal on it. I've been meaning to take a picture of it and I finally got around to it tonight. They think it's so 😁.

Ugh! The spring pollen has already started here in Eastern NC. Started all of a sudden less than a week ago. Maybe it's because we had the third warmest February here on record. Regardless l hate the next 4 to 6 weeks. Everything turns yellow. And the pine pollen is the worst.

Went for a long drive this morning before the rain started. I generally only get to drive my car on weekends, and we've had several rainy weekend recently, so I sometimes forget how good the car is. Man I love this car!

Pains me to post these pictures, but I suppose they should be part of my journal. We got hit by a lady pulling out of a parking lot this morning.

Wow! What a long wait this has been to get my car repaired. My car is scheduled to go into the shop on July 10. I've been driving it around looking like this since late March. At least I was able to get the front strut replaced and the fender knocked out so I could drive the car early on.

Hope the repairs go smoothly.

Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade to some carbon fenders!
