i was just wondering, as i know all you guys know this first hand,....

how does it feel driving down the road/street, in a first gen? does everybody stare and give thumbs up? and do they pull up next to you and ask you questions?...ive never drove in a 1st gen, come to think of it i dont really remember seeing to many of them, ive only seen 1 or 2 69's on the road...

Well it prolly depends on where you live but i can't go through town w/o getting stared at or shouted to.

To put it bluntly, imo a nice ride in a first gen should be the new prescription for people suffering from depression.

I used to drive a slammed import and always got the finger now when I drive the 67' It's people staring, thumbs up, and construction workers trying to get you to burnout.

i keep picturing myself driving my 69 around huntington beach, playing the vandals, and just soaking it all in, thats kinda my motivation..i cant wait to see how it feels..

It's all the above, but you also run into a lot of people gunning their motor next to you, or if you cruise by them they hammer it and try and stay in front of you, but mostly the thumbs up and many many questions at lights.

I love cruising the convertible on nice days/evenings, always getting thumbs up and at least 2 or 3 people always ask if its for sale.

It's like walking down the street with a Playboy centerfold on your arm.... Sucks to be anybody but you!

It's like the credit card commercial $100. dollars for this $500. for that a cruise up the strip everyone waving or giving you thumbs up yelling cool car priceless.Life as a first gen.camaro owner is good and improves with age.

I feel like I am back in the sixties again.

I get thumbs up mostly, alot of ricers wanting to race, it just grabs alot of attention! It's great, it's a feeling everyone should have at least a few times in their lives!!!!

I get all of the above as well. Love the thumbs up and the nice words but I Cant stand the ones that want to race, But the most annoying is the offers to buy the car. Most start out at about 3K (that really pisses me off) then its like a frigging E-Bay auction from there. And some are pissed that I wont sell the car for what they want to pay for it. Hell I had one guy pull me over off the 405, I thought he was having a seizure so I had to figure what the hell his problem was...He wanted to know how much i wanted to sell the car for.

Bottom line its a great feeling, and as a matter of fact it's a nice cool day here in Redondo...so i'm leaving work early, going for a small cruise down to the VFW and have a cold one....... Or two.

btw, i love redondo beach, i lived on ave h, by the esplanad
