Bringing Exotic Hollywood And Las Vegas Together: Rent A Classic Chevrolet Camaro

This car has gotten a lot of admirers. In fact this car is so loved or desired I should say that it is made an inspiration for songs as mentioned or referred in songs such as The Ramones with “Go Li’l Camaro Go” Kings Of Leon’s “Camaro” and Bruce Springsteen’ s “Racing in the Streets.” The famous model that it is the Camaro also gets featured in wellknown video game series such as Gran Turismo L.A. Rush

Need For Speed Series and Sega GT 2002. But to top it all the ultimate reason why you should come to Las Vegas and rent this car is that the vehicle mode of the Bumblebee character in the 2007 Transformers movie is you guessed it a Chevrolet Camaro.

The Chevrolet Camaro before it became a celebrity in Hollywood was a “pony car” manufactured by the Chevrolet Motor division of General Motors. It was introduced on September 26 1966 as a 1967 model. The Chevrolet Camaro was the model touted to compete with the Ford Mustang. This was so because once an automotive press reporter asked the Chevrolet product managers “What is a camaro?” They were told that a Camaro is “a vicious small animal that eats Mustangs.” But in reality though in French dictionary a Camaro is a slang for “friend” or “companion.”

The Camaro shared its major components with the Pontiac Firebird which was also released in 1967. It can also be classified as an economical grand tourer or a sporty muscle car depending on the selected optional equipment. It is more sophisticated that the Mustang and had the Z28 IROC versions. And if you wanted it custom made you can put a Corvette engine on a Camaro. A Pony car by the way is defined as a compact affordable highly styled car with a sporty or performance oriented image.

Originally though Bumblebee was a Volkswagen Beetle in the animation series. Director Michael Bay chose to change it because the character reminded him of Herbie the Love Bug. So the Camaro was granted the role of the muchloved Bumblebee because it had a friendlier appearance; especially that the character was inspired by Spielberg’s E.T. character. Hasbro did not mind of the changes as long as Bumblebee remained yellow in reference to the original character.

Sowe have laid out the reasons in why you should come out here in Las Vegas and avail of the sports luxury or classic car rentals that are available in the city. And indeed the Chevrolet Camaro the “companion” that it is will take you out on a ride through Las Vegas in Hollywood AList style. So it is either that you play out your best Shia LaBeuof impersonations or come out here and get ready to transform. Autobots transform and roll out!

Let’s all live our dreams in Las Vegas.

Breathing New Life Into My 5.0 With Afe Filters And Afe Intakes

No ones a bigger Vanilla Ice Fan than me. Ive got every album that this musical lyrical god has ever released starting with Hooked in 1989 and ending with his 2006 Best of compilation. When To the Extreme hit the scene I almost lost my mind from excitement. Everywhere I turned there was The Ice. On the radio. On TV. On the silver screen. Im not ashamed to admit it but Ive watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II every Saturday night since it was released on video. Much to the amazement of my friends and family I even quit my job for a year to follow his North American tour. Those were some of the happiest days of my life. When the tour ended I was stone broke and had to hitchhike my way back home to Pensacola. But I have no regrets.

After I returned from my Vanilla pilgrimage I got a job at a local record shop. I tried applying for more lucrative positions but Spinners Vinyl was the only place in town that would hire me with all those lines shaved into the side of my head. I didnt mind though. It gave me the perfect opportunity to introduce everyone to Vanillas Bsides and the bootlegs that I recorded at a few of his shows. You should have seen the looks on peoples faces when they walked in and heard my acoustic version of Roll Em Up blasting through the overhead. After a while my boss forbade me from playing my idol so I had to enjoy it by myself through my headphones.

It took a long time but I finally saved up enough dough to buy my dream car: a white 1992 Ford Mustang GT with the 5.0L motor. I was rolling with the ragtop down so my hair could blow. I even added in a bumping sound system to catch the attention of the girlies on stand by. They never really waved or even said hi but I did catch more than a few looks. Those were glorious times. I had cash a deluxe car and an endless well of premium tunes to satisfy my ears.

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. My GT started choking a little about the time that ol Van Winkle stared in the first Surreal Life. Not exactly a high point for his career or my car but revitalization was just around the corner. I hunted around on the internet to find some parts to boost my performance. I ran into some sites with great reviews for AFE air filters and AFE intakes. Because this is an Ice ride I went with the fullblown cold air intake. As soon as I bolted that bad boy into place my Mustang drove like a brand new invention. The oxygen was flowing like a harpoon right into my cylinders delivering huge horsepower gains to wax all the chumps at the red lights like a candle. Word to your mother.
