I'm not going to run down all the cars I have but ironically this is the most loved. I gave it to my daughter so it's not officially mine. It's a 1981 Camaro Bumblebee. It has rust, hardly any of the gauges work, it has a good 3/8' of Bondo on the driver's side basically it's a total mess. It was painted the right shade of yellow and the guy took $900 for a running/driving car. We put the black stripes on it and even though it's not exactly the right year as the movie car everyone loves it.
Kids go nuts over it at car shows and we urge them to hop in it and have their moms take photos of them behind the wheel. It's got a 350 with a decent exhaust so every time we take it through a fast food drive trough it gets comments. Especially the girls. They don't want a Camaro, they want "The Bumblebee." It's getting warm here and my daughter has been driving around Denver and has been getting the thumbs up.
It's just funny how a car I have about $2,000 invested in gets all the love.
No disrespect to Mopars, we have lots of them, and they are much nicer cars and trucks.
Of course, then there's this famous pose.
