    Joel, JoeliusZ28, has been nice enough to organize a meet at Duggans, December 30th. Our reservation is for 6pm, so if you're interested in coming out and enjoying some good food with friends between the holidays, stop in! If you're not familiar with Duggans, it's a great restaurant on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak. For directions, put 31501 Woodward Avenue, Royal Oak, MI into your favorite map app.

    The discussion thread can be found here.

    Major thanks to GM and the dedicated Camaro team for bringing not only the ZL1 but also the 45th Anniversary Edition Camaro to our show yesterday. I'm sure everyone who wasn't at the show has already seen the pictures, but it still deserves it's own thread. The camouflage is on to hide the body lines from all the photographers when it's being road tested at the Milford Proving Grounds. While I'm not 100% positive, I believe this might have been one of the first times that the ZL1 has been shown to the public in pre-production form. As others have said, the ZL1s you see prior have all been concept vehicles, show cars, and not the actual vehicle that will be hitting the streets. This was a rare opportunity and with the Camaro team hard at work every day in the halls at GM and Chevrolet, it truly is a great example that you never know what will show up to our Meet & Greet.

    Jason forwarded this over to me and I think it's a great auction for a great cause! Pass the word around folks! What better way to help a charity than by bidding on a very special diecast Camaro?


    CamaroZ28.Com Series III Die-Cast Camaro Road Racer Green Machine - Signed by Camaro Team and Camaro Disciple Focus Group!

    Last August, 15 Camaro enthusiasts/focus group members who are known as the Camaro Disciples met with Chevrolet Camaro designers, product managers, and marketing managers for another focus group at the Milford proving grounds. The goal was to offer final design, engineering, and functionality thoughts and critiques on the upcoming 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible that is just now hitting the showroom floors. These 15 people helped the Camaro Team shape what is expected to be the best Camaro Convertible yet.

    During the meeting, each of the 15 Disciples received one 1:64 scale GreenLight/CamaroZ28.Com Series III Camaro Road Race Car die-cast collectible.
    Each Disciple signed each car, ensuring that all 15 cars had all 15 Disciple's signatures on it.
    Then, many other members of Chevrolet's Camaro Team signed each car as well. Some of the team members who placed their signatures on the car's packaging include Scott "The Fbodfather" Settlemire, Cheryl Pilcher, John "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, Al Oppenheiser, and more.

    All 15 cars are currently in the possession of the 15 Camaro disciples...except for one special 16th car.

    One "Green Machine" version was also signed by the Camaro Team and Camaro Disciples. A Green Machine is GreenLight's version of the "chase car", or the limited edition of the limited editions. They are widely regarded as being highly sought after, rare, and valuable, but perhaps none are as valuable as this one to the Camaro enthusiast and collector.

    Up for auction will be that lone 16th car, a CamaroZ28.Com Series III Camaro Road Race Car Green Machine, signed by all 15 Camaro Disciples as well as very important Camaro Team members. This release of the CamaroZ28.Com Die-Cast series will never be produced again and getting the same signatures on any other item would be extremely difficult, if not next to impossible.

    This auction will be the one and only chance to own that impossibility and a very unique part of Camaro history.

    This auction includes:

    • One CamaroZ28.Com Series II Camaro Concept Convertible Pace Car Green Machine, with Camaro Team and Camaro Disciple's signatures
    • Certificate of authenticity, hand signed by the CamaroZ28.Com co-founders
    • One CamaroZ28.Com Series III die-cast collectible (regular version)
    100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to the American Red Cross so that the funds will find their way to Japan or other grief stricken areas of the world. Funds will be entirely processed directly through the eBay charity auction system.

    • LESS THAN 5% OF ALL CAMAROZ28.COM DIE-CAST SERIES III CARS ARE GREEN MACHINES!
      Comes complete with a signed certificate of authenticity. No one else offers this with their Green Machines!
    • Fully customized car design
      This special edition is "Green Machine" green with Series III graphics and matching green racing wheels!
    • Special CamaroZ28.Com Packaging
      Unique layout, colors, text, etc. on both sides of packaging.
    • Includes matching trading card
      Featuring 3D rendering that the final car is based on.

    That's right everyone - it's that time of the year again! January is here and it's time to start marking your calendars for the biggest one-day all-FBody event in the Great Lakes region! The 2011 Michigan FBody Meet & Greet is bound to be bigger than ever with more 5th gens hitting the streets and more exposure for the show.

    Following our new tradition of having our Meet & Greet fall on the first Saturday after Memorial Day, this year's event will be June 4th 2011. Please see the details below:

    http://www.mifbody.com/MeetGreet/spring/eventinfo.html

    Started in 2005, the Spring Meet & Greet has become not only a tradition for members of the MiFbody.com community, but a tradition for members of the entire Michigan Camaro and Firebird enthusiast community. The show is meant to be a laid back, casual show to promote face-to-face interaction with the Camaro and Firebird community. Many of us know eachother through the various large forums but we do not get a chance to meet in person and check out eachother's cars. The Meet & Greet was created to help create new friendships and new bonds.

    In 2009, the informal BBQ was amped up into a full fledged car show. We switched locations from being held at local Metro Parks to our new home: Bakers of Milford. Reknowned for their free weekly Sunday cruise-ins, Bakers of Milford was the perfect fit for our show. A great restaurant, clean restrooms, outdoor grill, and an open parking lot: all the makings for a perfect car show!



    What: 7th Annual Michigan FBody Spring Meet & Greet 2011
    Date: June 4th, 2011
    Time: 8am to 4pm
    Location: Bakers of Milford, Milford, Michigan
    Address: 2205 S. Milford Rd, Milford, Michigan

    Food and Beverages:
    Food and beverages will be available through the Bakers Restaurant. They have a full sit-in restaurant available and will also be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers for those of us who don't want to do a full sit-down meal. You're welcome to bring your own food if you so choose, but having eaten at Bakers before I can tell you they have EXCELLENT food.

    Registration:
    Filling out the registration forms the day of the event can be overwhelming! To register for the event - you can register at the link below!

    General Plans for the Meet & Greet:
    The Meet & Greet, as a tradition, is a casual meet up to hang out and have fun! The event's host website (MiFbody.com) is still growing at an exponential rate, and there's still a lot of names that we know from the community but we don't have a face to place with the name. The Meet & Greet was created in 2005 to put faces to the user names on the site. The whole point is to meet new people, hang out, show off our own cars and check out each other's cars! Over the years, we've grown to include the entire FBody community not only in Michigan but in neighboring states and Canada! Our goal is not directly meant to promote our website - but more to promote the FBody community as a whole and encourage the community to establish friendships with people in the area with the same passion for the cars we own! The Meet & Greet is MiFbody.com's way to try and give back to the community by having a yearly show to look forward to.

    Please note that the cruise to Woodward is completely independent of the Meet & Greet - although a tradition for some. The meet will be considered finished directly after the short Awards ceremony. Please make arrangements on your own if you plan to cruise to Woodward after the Meet & Greet

    When I started the website 5 years ago, I never would have imagined the bond that would grow amongst friends met on the site - bonds strong enough to make members feel like family. Today it's with immense sorrow that I share the news amongst our family members here on Michigan FBody that we have lost one of our own. Doug Warren, WMCC Doug, passed away last night in his sleep.

    Doug Warren was one of the founding members of the Western Michigan Camaro Club and has been Club President for a number of years. Loved by everyone he met, he was sincerely one of the nicest guys I've known. He will always be remembered for his enthusiasm for Camaros, car shows, and friendships. Doug, we love you - rest in peace and I'm sure you're roasting one heck of a burnout in Heaven, buddy!

    My sincerest condolences to the Warren family.
