I hate to say it, but from a distance, with slightly bad eyesight, camaro's occasionally look like Sebrings, but they look much better than them in real closeness ^_~

From a distance?

I was wierd seeing my camaro parked next to my mom's old 96 sebring convert. </font>[/QUOTE]I think this was on purpose, as Sebrings were selling like hotcakes (I think they took a bit of LT1 4th gen appearance cues anyway) and GM probably did similar styling cues (headlights, more of a grinning idiot grille) to piggyback off this success.

1.) GM Shops are idiots. They took my "WS6" (I have a v6 Firebird), even before I put my Trans Am hatch on, and lifted it wrong, so the area just in front of the door, underneath the "grills" sticks out now. I went back in there and ripped them a new ******* for making the same mistake every other repair shops makes. You're not supposed to lift it in a certain area or something, I guess.

2.) I've had flaky people say, "hey, it's a Batmobile".

1- on my car is actually says "DO NOT LIFT HERE" LOL I know exactly where you mean. Also, I do not know if it is appropriate for a gay man to say he ripped somebody a new ******* LMAO no offense.

2- Mine is a batmobile ;)

My dentist called my Firebird a Camaro yesterday.

Mine gets called a TA as i have full grounds effects. i think it's also been called a camaro. i quickly replied " No, it's a firebird and yes there is a difference." 3rd gens are more similar than 4th but still. Lastly one friend calls it the great white dragon.

2.) Yes, yours is a Batmobile. But it's the only batmobile [img]smile.gif[/img]

my firebird gets called a Camaro probably 80% of the time. when a girl says somethn like "hey i really like your camaro" i just say thanks im glad u like it or somethin but when a guy says it gets pretty annoying

[casketcrewchick]

Yes, 2 times now from guys at work.

[Midknite_Bird]

Everytime, my car gets called a Camaro..and also a Trans Am...and believe it or not it has also been called a Batmobile...jejeje..Mostly at work..or random people while I'm parked somewhere..I correct them but it's usually a compliment that they meant to give, but got the name wrong...

[Skapimp]

I went to the pontiac dealer and he called mine a T/A.. I corrected him and he tried to prove him wrong... that's when I knew that the prick wasn't touching my car and drove to another dealer.

[91firebirdv6]

So i went to the local muffler shop to se about getting my exhaust work done and the owner called it a camaro repeatedly even after i told him it was a firebird. He even tried to get me to buy 4th gen z28 tips bcuz he didn't have the ones i wanted. I almost dont want to go back. :mad:

[SVD]

Heck, I used to have a 1981 Firebird a few years back. The Georgia DMV called it a "Pontiac Camaro" on the title. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Kid in a civic once said "Nice mustang" while at a light in my firebird his girlfriend then replied "Thats a camaro you idiot"
:rolleyes:
