Costco: Hot and melty

I was leaving Costco tonight when I spied something that literally took my breath away - a smoking hot, cherry red 2010 Camaro parked by the Member Services desk. (For those of you unfamiliar with Costco, they have agreements with dealerships through which members can get new vehicle discounts, and so often have a car parked inside advertising their program.)

I've long had a soft spot for Camaros, but with this incarnation...oh wow. Chevy knocked it out of the park. Although I am ten times more likely to actually purchase a Chevy Volt, when I saw this beauty my insides melted and I immediately visualized speeding along, sun shining, windows down, wind whipping my hair, with Nickelback's "Far Away" blasting from the stereo. Pure heaven. There must be Camaros in heaven, right?

But reality intervened, my feet kept moving, and I soon found myself out in the dark, icy, 10 degree parking lot, trying to stuff all my kid-related purchases into the back of my too-small Saab. I can't even imagine how a Camaro could fit into my life, but what a nice dream. Sigh.



(and yes, I really am that car-obsessed. I grew up in Detroit. It's more than just transportation.)
