2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS: You Write the Caption

Kids-with-camaro-1600.jpg 

Scott sent me this picture of our long-term Chevy Camaro being used as part of a school career day presentation.

We suggest: "I like the Mustang steering wheel better."

What is your caption?

It's bigger than you thought.

In an effort to compete with the '11 Mustang, Chevy offers option package 5LT, including small child.

Little Bobby thought he was living the dream when he trapped his father in the rear seat of their new Camaro.

No seatbelt? Alright, kid, let's see your license and proof of insurance.

"Don't make me let go! I like the steering wheel too much!"

Muscle car? Check. Drivers seat moved forward all the way. Uh, check. Mirrors adjusted? Good enough. Seatbelt? We'll get that later. Keys? Um, keys??? Oh dang.
