Remember back when you were a kid, and you always got those Hot Wheels or Tonka cars and trucks for special occasions? Up until around junior high school, I considered that to be my favorite thing to do: collect cars that I hoped to own someday. The cars that always stuck out though, were the old-school Camaros. Something about them just gave me that adrenaline rush, and made me vision the feel of cruising with the top down. For as long as I remember, and even longer I presume, Chevy and Ford (and in a strange way Pontiac) has always had some sort of competition thing going on. However, there was always something about the Camaro that seemed to push my imagination.
When Chevy decided to stop the production of the Chevy Camaro, it was a sad day for many muscle car hobbyists. Even guys who loved the Mustang and Firebird were probably saddened because a great timeless rivalry seemed to be fading away. However, with all the buzz surrounding the Camaro comeback, it somehow seems like maybe it was worth the wait. Worth the torture.
I'm sure you probably have seen the guys who hang around at the car shows, and loiter in the parking lots of shopping centers showing off their engines, interior, and new gadgets. It's a great deal of fun. These guys invest a great deal of time and money into their hobbies. When you talk engines, body work, and collector's value, this is no cheap hobby. I think it's safe to say that it can sometimes seem to be as strong as a cult following. Chevy lovers definately travel in packs.
So what do you do when all you can think about is Chevy this, Chevy that? Well, a car club is a great idea for starters. This way you can keep in contact with people who have the same passion as you. Get tips, advice, and give others feedback on your experiences; sort of like a fraternity without the college.
Because this has gone on for so long, and will probably go on for much longer than I care to envision, there is always a refuge you can find when it comes to Chevrolet muscle cars. If you can't find local car clubs, you can always search online, ask around, or when worst comes to worst; go to your local shopping center, pop your hood, and watch the onlookers begin to magically appear! Chevy muscle cars: there's nothing like em'.
