Damn work training seminar!

Anything planned for Houston in the coming months?

Is the Camaro going to be on display for the rest of the Texas Fair?

I was wondering that and wanting to double check appropirate dress. Can i get away with jeans and a polo shirt or should I break out the slacks/dress shirt.

I would just like to thank Fbodfather another time. This was a truly awesome event. Seeing the Camaro drive up with escort was a breathtaking experience.

It's true, what they say. WAIT TILL YOU SEE IT IN PERSON!

I understand that it is. It's on a podium at the back of the car show. I came back the next morning to get some pics under better lighting. I should have them up soon.

This is the first chance I've had to comment, but absolutely need to.

A great big thank you to Scott Settlemire for this wonderful opportunity. I had to jump through quite a few hoops to get off work just to drive for about 9 hours (round trip) to make the show, but it was well worth it. I was generally so busy trying to take pictures that I ended up being more of a lurker at the event than I am here on the forums. I did try to track down Scott a couple of times to say thank you in person, but always caught him when he was busy. My apologies for not making myself available for when the opportunity to shake hands was there.

As for the car... It's brilliant. I've always tended to be more of a Corvette guy than anything else, but there are certain models of Camaro that strike a chord with me more than the Vettes of the same generation (like the '69, one of my favorite car designs of all time, followed closely by the early '70s, before the big bumpers). I can say the same thing about the new Camaro. As much as I like the C6 better than every Vette since mid '70s styling wise, the Camaro is the car that really punches me in the gut (much more so after seeing it up close). The car has a presence in person that cameras just can't quite capture. The black RS pulling in to the fairly dark area had a sense of wicked sexiness about it that few cars can match. When I looked inside at the steering wheel and dash, I couldn't get past the thought that I'd have that view every day in the not-to-distant future.

I think the team at Chevrolet has gone way above and beyond the call of duty with this car. Scott, you made driving through Dallas traffic worth my time, and I hate traffic. Thanks to everyone involved in this event.

One last follow up on the Texas event. Here are the pictures I took that actually turned out. Shooting a black car at night is not an easy task (to say the least), but hopefully there are a few new shots here that someone might find interesting. Having to shoot up close, there's a lot of perspective distortion due to the wide angle of the lens, so don't put too much stock into the proportions you see. The Camaro part of the pictures start with image nnn021.jpg (the one's previous are the event in general and/or the Traverse).

The crowd around the car was tight enough I figured there would be a lot of stuff like that happening. In MetalDragon's picture:



I'm the guy shooting the picture from the other side of the car (trying to get a decent shot of the seats and driver side door panel area).

Definitely had a blast. Still want the car really bad. Contemplated several times just how far I might make it if I tried to take off in it...LOL

Great pics all of you. The car looks great in black even at night.
