I know exactly how you feel, picked mine up a week ago and have spent many hours in the garage just staring at her. Supposed to be 60 here to day so I am going to wash her for the first time, I am so excited!

Thanks for the replies,and the welcome !
Sorry about the pix being laid out "horizontal",I'm new at the picture thing(had nothing worth photographing till Saturday!)
I use an older version of Firefox,and they look fine with it,but this morning I looked at them in Internet Explorer,and the layout is "not so good".
Thanks for the advice 4 KRUSIN,I'll do that next time.
These cars are very "photogenic" so I'm sure I'll be posting more pix in the future....

One more thing -My wife(of 33 years) was not very supportive when I told her a few years back what I was gonnna save up for-but now that she's seen the car and ridden in it,that's all changed-Last night she asked me when does she get her key?
Blue being her favorite color might have something to do with it.

I haven't answered her about the key yet...

Excellent color. I may be biased.

Welcome to the never ending mod club. I was going to have a few "must have's" (intake, cat back.. wheels) now it's torn apart in the garage for a cam swap.


woops!

Great looking car.
I think you are lucky your Mom could not reach the clutch. She would not be back with the car yet.

I not only let my 79 year old mother sit in mine I let her drive it. And it's a 6 speed. She's the reason I'm a gearhead. She drives a 2002 40th anniversary supercharged Grand Prix GTP. She had 79 camaro when I was in junior high and high school.
