One Camaro was not enough and you collect anything with "Camaro" on it.Neighbors laugh when they see you cleaning the underside of the car when it is raining out after you just came home in the rain. Posts: 5682 | From: Dearborn,Mi. | Registered: Feb 2002

Old ladies that live next to you ask you to wash their cars as they see how good of a job you do on your Camaro.

I beg to differ ! If we were sane then we would get into our cars and drive from point A to point B . WE don't we bring in points C,D, E,F &G and all others inbetween Heaven help the sane person that gets in front of us for it is they that should be locked up and kept away from us. After all who else would wash a car more than once a day wax it more than once a week or tell a passanger on the proper way to get into and out of the SS .

In the middle of January with 3 ft. of snow on the ground, you start: 1)Marking your calendar this far in advance to:
a) set a date to have completed any unfinished winter mod projects by...
b) do a "complete" tire rotation! (take 'em off the wheels and turn 'em around, re-balance and mount on the other side of the car to compensate for excessive wear on the outside edges, resulting from your track and autoX events.
c) schedule your annual "start of the season" new brake pad install and brake fluid flush.
d) slot in your "Zaino the Car to Within an Inch of Its Life and Detailing Weekend" (when you won't even answer the phone 'cuz it will be an "interruption") P.S. Don't forget to Zaino the door jambs and other places that receive the once-a-year treatment!
e) start surfing the websites of all the local clubs to check out lapping days and autoX events as they are announced.
f) tell your spouse that you won't be available on these following weekends during the summer...(the more notice you give, the less resistance there is!)
g) start thinking in advance of what you won't have to do with the car this season, but what you will probably need to do with it next season!! (This one kills me!)

You park the car by a window at restraunts. During the meal you stare out the window at the car instead of paying attention to others at the table.

It is an official disease! Thank you Center for Automotive Disease Control for correctly identifying most of the symptoms. I didn't want to admit to washing the undercarriage in the rain because it was raining. I now have the strength to admit I am a Camaro-holic and have been for 30 years. Liver is fine and I am now a better weather forcaster than the professionals!
Your a Camaro-holic if:
You buy a new digital camera just to take higher res pictures of your car.
You know SLP doesn't stand for Standard Living Practices.
You you actually thought having the last one for $70,000 wouldn't be bad if you had the money.
You wanted to take a tour of St.Terese (do you want to visit where your toaster was made?)
You drive to Canada just to get officially licensed 35th Camaro stuff.
Your car's shine blinds the other drivers and your thinking 5 more coats of Zaino and it might be where you like it.
Mods are official line items in your budget and they are not getting cut!
etc...

You tracked your SS's rail car & staked out the local rail yard/auto distribution center for 3 days to see your Camaro come off the rail car and get photographical evidence that the rail yard guys didn't "joy ride" your car.
You follow your SS from the distribution yard 300 miles to the Dealership you ordered from. At the half-way point, you pull off the road to take pictures of your SS on the carrier and buy the driver lunch.
You specify in your purchase contract that no PDI take place on the car, other than fluid inspection and insist that you take the car home with all it's "original" plastic & protective coverings.
You've never opened that box that says, "To be opened by owner" in order to keep it "original".
When you modify your SS, you put the original part away for safe keeping and buy a 2nd one for modification, i.e. the airbox for the cold air induction mod, etc.
You bought mods for your SS the day after you ordered it. i.e. white wheels & new tires, an STB, floor mats, skip shift eliminator, etc.
and........ You have more pictures of your car(s) on your desk at work than of your spouse.
Your husband's wedding ring is cast with a Chevrolet Bowtie in it.
Your own wedding ring's center stone is color-matched to your Husband's '68 Camaro ('86/87 IROC Blue) and was designed to not have prongs, a scratch risk when detailing a Camaro.
You got married on 9/26/96, the 30th Anniversary of the original release date of the Camaro (depending on your source), because.... - It's easy to remember. - You can celebrate after the bulk of the car show & cruising season is over. - You have an excuse to travel 2500 miles to a "Gathering" of your friends in Bowling Green, KY.
