Replying to: fintail (Jul 14, 2009 7:50 am) I don't know what he paid, but I would gladly pay 20k for his. It's in great shape. Oh and actually it IS silver!

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Jul 14, 2009 8:13 am) There's an 01 for sale locally, 44K miles, local car, all records, pristine...they want 18.9 for it. That series had a long model run - 13 model years. Early cars can easily be found for under 10K, but a later car is probably a better purchase.   Silver is the best for these cars, IMO. As can be said for just about all SLs, they do have a timeless look.

#4974 of 5314 New Camaro in the parking spot next to mine by lokki Jul 14, 2009 (12:26 pm)
The guy with the (reserved) parking spot next to mine has a new silver Camaro RS. ( I have actually never met the guy - he comes in before I do, and leaves before I do.)   I like the looks of the Camaro very much in the sheetmetal, but don't like them either. Every line is very good, but somehow the thing doesn't work overall.   I've been musing all day about it, and I think I've finally put my finger on the problem.   It looks as if someone took a high-pressure air hose to a 1969 Camaro and over-inflated it. The lines are all the same but the car is bigger, and every line is exaggerated - the car is a caricature of itself.       I still like it, and it really seems beautifully done. The leather in the interior, seems to be very good quality. Overall, great car.... but it's a HotWheels Camaro. Replies to this message: texases (Jul 14, 2009 12:45 pm)

Replying to: lokki (Jul 14, 2009 12:26 pm) Good comments on the Camaro, Lokki - you figured out what I was trying to...just something doesn't look right to me on the new one - overdone, exaggerated. Particularly with both pics. I like that red one better than any Mustang, Firebird, Barracuda, or Challenger, new or old.
#4976 of 5314 Agree on the Camaro by ajvdh Jul 14, 2009 (1:13 pm)
It's like the designers tried just a little too hard. IMHO, the new Challenger is a better retro effort.   We were up in Yellowstone over the weekend of the 4th. It looked like Ford had a stranglehold on the rental market: There were tons of new 'Stangs and Flexes. While I'm sure the Flex is practical as all get-out, it's not real pretty. Imposing, maybe, but not in a good way.   Back in my 'hood, the guy who owns the gray Ford GT has been exercising it pretty regularly. I also saw a gray IS-F running around.

Replying to: bhill2 (Jul 14, 2009 11:52 am) LOL, I'm sure he's been there himself. This guys idea of a test drive is to take it on the highway up to tripple digits and back down again at the next off ramp. He lives and breaths Benzos. He also has a CLS and before that an E500.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 15, 2009 7:11 am) Either that or I've got new neighbors who are more extreme car enthusiasts than me. I feel the houses on my street, (including my own) are very modest though there are some really nice houses just half a block from me, (most definately NOT McMansions!).
