Also - keeping the Camaro in the garage and the van you drive every day outside, even if that means you have to scrape the windows and get in a cold van every morning. Posted by Sizzle (Member # 503) on :
You have to show the passengers the "special way" to open and close the door as not to get finger prints on it.

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!)

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...
Posted by edg35SSLE (Member # 1381) on :
You drive through town and admire your car in the windows of the stores.
Posted by HTWLSS (Member # 117) on :
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.

-have a "baby album" of your SS's first anything.
-go to the dealer over the slightest squeek or rattle for warranty.
-always try to find an end spot in a parking lot, even if it means you have to walk the distance of 3-4 foorball fields to get to the store.
-close the hood and trunk by the latches.
-collect anything and everything that you can find even remotely related to CAMARO.
-don't let anyone under the age of 10 in your SS.
-no food or non-capable drinks allowed in the car.

you might be a camaro-holic if....
your teenage son is jealous of the attention you pay to the car and SWEARS that the car stuck its nose out and "tripped" him in the garage one night

You go to the store to buy one camaro model and end up buying 5 models and 16 Johnny Lightning camaros. Posted by 35TH ED/ed (Member # 1709) on :
You have small disc's made to put into the tail pipe of your loudmouth to change the sound and then go out and buy a tip for each disc .

unfortunately at my work, we cannot visit any websites that have the words "games, entertainment, or auction." they have a filter system, so i'm unable to get onto ebay. Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :

Many good ones here I am guilty of, but we missed a few:
You might be a camaro-holic if...
You feel your heart race when you see someone elses SS on the street...
You memorized your SLP build number...
You know what NFB means...
You won't let so much as a speck of pollen touch the paint while parked, but don't think twice about letting the pavement and all manner of hazards fly by at 150 mph...
You actually keep a separate Camaro just for beating on...
You pop the hood at least once a week just to look and smell...
You smile at the ricer next to you at the light just before it turns green and he disapears in the rear view... completly...

You start up the SS for its monthly run.
Pull off the tops and sit in it listening to the radio,rev the engine alittle and have a beer knowing full well that the Cops can't hastle you for the noise Posted by Joey Red (Member # 550) on :
When you have your German Shepard sleep on a Camaro Pet Bed.

When you found yourself starring at your Camaro's Birth Certificate with a smile on your face thinking how proud you are as you look at the tiny tire print.

Imagine if you bronzed the first pair of shoes and tried hanging them from the mirror. Posted by sscamaro (Member # 1330) on :
You might be a Camaro-holic,
1. If your greeting cards have a picture of your SS on them. 2. Ever day you wear something with a Camaro on it. 3. You hand wash a sweatshirt that has an air brushed picture of your SS on it. 4. Your are an officer in two Camaro clubs. 5. You have a 20"X 32" picture of your Camaro mounted & framed and hanging above your desk.
Are we crazy or what!

When you wash the car KNOWING it is going to snow and rain the next day. But since you have TWO days off in a row, you wash the car the one day, adn detail and wax it the next. And yes, my car got filthy the next day. Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :

SOOOO.... who's car is it? Posted by JohnS (Member # 1073) on :
.... you're in San Francisco on business and see a black Camaro SS on the highway, just like yours, and you pull up behind it and follow it to look at the sleek lines and admire the shine (and dream of spring when you will be putting your SS back on the road).

We dropped off the car at your house on Sunday night. Sorry there was not much fuel in it.Keys in the mail slot.On behalf of EMCC,Thanks for letting me borrow the car!We do have some pictures to post soon.

When you go ahead anyways and wash the SS AGAIN, knowing there is a blizzard on the way. Now, the SS is toally covered and you cant see it!
Posted by JohnS (Member # 1073) on :
.... you wake up the SS from winter hybernation for its bi-weekly run, and just stand there for 5 minutes listening to the sweet rumble of exhaust.
C'mon Spring!

Stop It!!!! I can't take it anymore. I even waxed the Beater 92 RS yesterday......and the dreams have started again, two last week, first was a two tone yellow & white 55' w/4spd, the next was a 57 or so dodge ragtop (don't ask me where that came from) but i couldn't get the top to work.... I even changed the emblems on the wife's 01 Monte SS 'cause there look better in red. I don't mind the dreams, but i always end up buying something after the dreams and i'm out of garage space.....
My name is Marc, and i'm a Camaroholic....

When you drive your SS to work, after you park it in a far corner of the lot, you walk around it with a bottle of detail spray and a white towel to clean off anything that might have gotten on it on the way to work. Then you cover it with a car cover for the day.
(I really do this.)
