Default Bumblebee Pics
Saw the bumblebee at the State Fair of Texas. Really looks cool in person and made me think about one of these instead of a V. Definitely looked better than that Challenger in person, IMO. These are from my camera phone, so sorry for the quality.

This wasn't bad looking:

I drove up to Dallas one afternoon from College Station to surprise my mom for her birthday and got to lavish in the amazingness that was a plastic representation of what the camaro may look like. Anyways, they had removed the challenger from the floor less than 24 hours before, so I only got to see the 'camaro and 500KR but both were amazing. And the Z06. Anyways... I do wish I could live in the days of the original muscle car wars, where a 19 yo like myself with a good work ethic could easily earn himself a like-new firebird with a hurst shifter and pay it off basically in full... I guess inflation had to kick in at some point...

I saw them both at the New England Auto Show last weekend...same colors and everything...the Camaro is obviously not a real car, but it does look cool. I've been a Chevy guy all my life, but that new Challenger is BAD ***. I'll keep my Y2K Z28...but I'll probably add a Challenger to the driveway in a couple years.

Does mid/late 20's and single count too?

You can't go wrong with any of those three cars IMO. I hope the Camaro is offered in the same gold and stripes Bumblebee wears.
