Default Bumble Bee is home
We have been following the Camaro concept since the unveil in Jan 06 detroit. We were there with the other 250 enthusiast to see it drive thru cobo hall to its turn table. Since that unveil I fell in love with the car and have wanted it. A year later GM unveiled the Convertable at the GM style event. We were there for it. Later GM sent out messages looking to get 12 people to submit essays on their passion for the Camaro. This focus group would be given the name the 12 disciples. My wife (SunsethawkSelena) was picked to be part of the focus group where she was brought to Detroit twice. In Detroit she was able to drive the Camaro Iver cars and preproduction intent cars as time progressed. The group was involved in telling GM what people wanted in a Camaro. The whole story has also made it into a book with 2 photos of her with the focus group. The book is called Camaro a legend reborn. She placed the order for our 2010 Camaro and her disciple status allowed us to get the car fast.



So here is Bumble Bee 2010 Camaro RS SS 6speed manual with LS3 426 HP. Car #192

Amazing story and so lucky to be a part of the focus group! The jealousy abounds in my veins.

Beautiful car, especially like the polished wheels on the yellow car
