Talking It's about friggin' time!!!...

We got our first new Camaro here at Community Chevrolet, in Burbank, Ca. I saw it Saturday night, but went to sit in it Sunday morning on my way to work...It actually felt really good. They started it up for me....but unfortunately, it still sounded like a 6. A really good sounding 6, but a 6 none the less.

Enjoy...
