Default 2010 Camaro vs. Pole

WOW I am amazed that the guy walked away from this! Its a good thing he didnt have a passenger, I don't think they would have been as lucky.

It actually looks to be where the back seat would be, that side of the car hinged outward like a door, freakin' crazy.

Did any of you read the comments on that link?

"I don't think is a camaro. The top it to rounded off. Camaro's have a flat roof. I think its a Mercades Benz.
They have more rounded off roofs. Just look at the cars angles then compare them to other cars. It doesn't fit Camaros."

"It is a 2009 Camaro dumb asses."

"This car looks to be a new Camaro, but it could be an older Pontiac."
