New in NW NJ
 
Hello - I saw the NJFBOA on camaro5.com in a post regarding the 100 F-Body Cruise being planned so I thought I'd join.

I'm the proud owner of a 2010 Camaro 2LT RS in Silver Ice Metallic with Black Interior, Automatic Transmission 3.6L LLT V6. I was lucky enough to find my ride at McGuire Chevrolet in Newton, NJ back on launch day May 6 and after considering ordering another color I chose this Camaro over taking a chance with GM's bankruptcy and supplier issues. I took delivery on May 22 in time to enjoy the car over the Memorial Day weekend - what a blast and a magnet for attention with lots of thumbs-up folks on the road and attention at every stop I make.

My connection to F-Body cars dates to my sister's 1974 Camaro, a car she never let me drive as I was just getting my license back then. I've offered to let her drive my ride 35 years later, holding no grudge for missing out all those years ago.

I am in NW New Jersey with my wife, and you'll see me on Routes 80 and 206 commuting to/from work in Basking Ridge. Given how few 2010 Camaros there are on the road if you see a Silver RS its probably me - this week I added dark charcoal hood spears on the hood cowl and a trunk black-out (haven't had a chance to update my pictures given our lousy weather recently - will update soon).

I am active on http://www.camaro5.com and hope to get involved here when I can...

Thanks for taking in a new member and 5th generation Camaro owner. I have great respect for all Camaro and Firebird owners who care so deeply about their rides, I intend to follow in your tracks.

Seems like a nice area...I pass through there on the way to my grandparents (they live on 565 a few miles north of the Chatterbox).

Welcome, you're near a few members, and I drive by there on my way to Chatterbox sometimes.

New Pic of my 5th Gen Camaro

Here's a new pic of my 2010 Camaro with the Dark Charcoal Hood Spears and Brushed Aluminum Fuel Door installed. I am waiting on raised "RS" badges to add to the Hood Spears and the '67 V-Flags to add under the "Camaro" on the Fender as a nod to the 1st Generation - will post more when those are done in the next week or so...

Mike - that wasn't me - we go to Pub 517 once in awhile and last time was with my wife's red G6 GT Hard-top Convertible - haven't had the Camaro over there yet, would need crowd control from all the admirers I get at each stop I make...

I wouldn't be able to make the July meet but perhaps August or September...
