Camaro 5 Fest 2013

My blog post about this event will be a little different from the normal.  I want to talk about what I learned at this event.  My husband and I don't normally attend events that are specific to one generation of Camaro because we love them all.  However at the urging of a friend we decided to attend Camaro 5 Fest this year since it was so close to us in Indianapolis.  I am sure glad we went!!  First off it was another opportunity to see many of our dear friends and second we did want to see the spectacle of that many 5th gens in one place.  What we were amazed to finally be witness to is the new culture of Camaro.  Sure we were both around for the hayday of the 4th gen (okay and even the 3rd gen to some degree).  They had their following but it was nothing like this!  You have men and women spanning every age group who just love this car AND they love to modify it and make it their own!!  I've seen a lot of Camaro specific shows over the years but this show really opened my eyes to what the 5th gen Camaro has created.  The bonus to this are those special folks who get so into it that they do research the history and become a real enthusiast...that is purely awesome!!  My heart swells that Camaro not only lives again but dominates!  

We had a great couple days of watching the CamaroCross and drag racing, wandering vendors, checking out cars and most importantly visiting with all of our Camaro friends.  It was great to be able to show my son everything surrounding this, he starts driving in 2 1/2 years and he knows what he wants to drive...

Thanks go out to Camaro 5 Fest staff who worked their tushes off to bring this about, to all the GM folks that joined us, to all of our friends that we can't wait to see again soon and to Scott for insisting we be there.
