Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest and love cars. I have owned Mustangs, Challengers and others but never a Camaro. I am about to become a first time new Camaro owner. At least if I make it though the 4hr train trip north to pick it up. I am currently sitting in the Amtrak station waiting to go.

good luck

Welcome dude. You wouldn't be at the Amtrak station in Lacey, would you? Where you getting the car from?

An Amtrak station the day the rail almost shut down to go pick up your first Camaro.

I think it is awesome your first Camaro, will be the last Camaro model year.

Good luck on your travels, congrats on the new car....post some pics!!!

to the forums, TheYankeeMarshal, hope everything goes well with your delivery. You purchased an absolutely amazing car at the last possible moment

Please do post some pictures once she's all yours.

Oh, here are some delivery checklists if you fancy thoroughly checking out your new car, given how long you traveled to pick it up. Feel free to use them or ignore them as you wish .

Some of these require driving the car for a while, you will want to find a dealership local to you for remediation under warranty.

Good luck and enjoy your first Camaro

Paint defects – Blemishes, debris, dirt, scratches, and thin coverage
Paint thin or missing in door jambs, under hood, wheels, etc.
Defroster vents leaking cold air onto windshield in A/C mode, causing condensation build up
