Default Orig. owner Camaro

I do a lot of driving in western Canada with my business, and occassionally see some interesting stuff. Today when I was filling up at a Costco in another city, a nice Camaro pulled in next to me. Now this would not be that unusual except that this hasn't been great Camaro weather. Anyway, when the lady got out to fill up, I was intrigued and commented that she must have heard the " is this car for sale " line many times. She replied that if she had a dollar for everytime she heard it, she could buy a new Camaro.
She is the original owner, and the car has been painted twice since new, the last time with new 1/4 panels. She drives it year round, parks it in a carport, not a garage, and just loves her car. It is not for sale. It has 4 studded snow tires on it.
I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. I know I did.

Did you happen to find out how many miles she has accumulated on it over the years? Or perhaps I should say how many kilos [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]
