Default Other F-body's

Just curious how many of you guys actually acknowledge other F-body drivers on the road when you see em...or park next to one when you see it in a lot? or am I the only one?

Hardly see any in saskatchewan. As the years roll by, more of these cars are appearing but when I first got mine in 1999 I could go months without seeing another ls1 car.

There's only 1 CETA around my area, he doesn't wave, so I don't. There's a couple 3rd gen Camaro's that wave, so I give 'em the wave back, heck, I even wave at the 'stangs if they wave, if everybody drove a 'bird, mine wouldn't be as unique.

I am with you guys here, you have to admire beauty when you see it. Its like when a really hot chick walks infront of you, you are gonna check her out even if your significant other is right there

Surprisingly, I rarely see any 4th gen F-Body's around Toronto. When I do see any, 80% of the time it's a beat-up V6.

That's odd, I've got a 4th gen and I rack up the miles all over TO.

TFBM has a lot of 4th gen owners, CCFBG has at least a dozen around including myself.

For CCFBG, the usual hang out spot on a Sat (once warmer weather hits) is the Canadian Tire parking lot at 427 and Queensway at 5pm during the Street Classics gathering there.

Visit the Camaro Country F-Body Group display at Speedorama this year! We've got a great showing for that show on display!

So, you guys hang out at the Canadian Tire? That's really close to my neighborhood. My Z28 is my daily driver in the warm months; hopefully I will run into some of you guys this season.

Since you know where it is, you are officially invited to come out and join us. Let's put it this way, there's enough f-bodies that show up to warrant the creation of a new 1985 and younger section of "Street Classics". I was one of the initial few that showed up on a regular basis with my old 88 camaro and eventually the people I knew also caught on and CCFBG's president got his foot in the door to designate a new area that's run by CCFBG within Street Classics. So we've stepped up a little beyond a few f-bodies showing up...

My 02 Z/28 is parked out front of a canadian tire right now. But thats because the engine broke... (see other post)

And i've only seen 2 other 4th gen camaros in Edmonton. I'm sure there are more but i just don't see them. As for other f-bodies, few and far between. But i always try to nod or wave, say nice car.

Fun fact: its -39c today in Edmonton. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
