You should be shot for saying such a thing and btw I wouldn't be caught in a camaro................ ugly as hell. Everyone thinks that my car is a camaro and I snap at them for that since I don't really like the looks. To me there is a big difference!

If someone said it looked like a sunfire I'd blow it up and buy a vette!

Yea, people are . . . . . ugh.

One time I drove an older co-worker to her house and she said, "Oh, is this a Corvette? I'ts so low to the ground!" I want to add that this was in my daily driver 96 Firebird.

Another time a few of the neighbors were complaining because some idiots drove past our hangout and revved their engines all stupid about it in a residential area. A few of the guys left but me and my friend with a zinc yellow Cobra were still there. Cop came by and said that someone complained about a yellow Mustang and a black Mustang racing. I said, "This is a Trans Am." He said, "Close enough."

OUCH...close enough to a mustang that hurts

Hahaha, thats a good one, a sebring? Makes ya wonder nowadays, no one knows bout cars, no one works on them, just lease n drive em. What happend to the gearheads??? Ask just bout everyone what size of motor they have and ya get that ," did l **** in my pants look"
Flooding isnt bad up here yet, rosseu a few places, windemere in the low areas, not bad. Port carling n balas good, gravyhurst also good, port sydneys also good, worst l have seen is round huntsville area, they seem to get hit harder
