Dogwood Show & Shine: Camaro Super Sport

Here is the first more involved look into a variety of the beautiful pumps I found at the Dogwood Festival Show and Shine, of which I promised to follow up this post with. This Camaro was one of the cleanest at the show. 

I started shooting it once I finished my initial look around the show to avoid any bias I might have after going a while without seeing any real show cars. I came back to it and found out just how pristine of condition it was in.

 As I started shooting I began to notice the level of finish this car had, the engine bay, the paint, the interior, everything. After I took a snap of the engine, I moved to the front and started looking for a front quarter shot.

While taking a few shots the owner caught on and offered to shut the hood, to which I kindly agreed. I kept shooting, now with closed hood, and continued to take in the cleanliness of this iconic pumper of air.

 I approached the interior and noticed the clean and clear vinyl, dash, shift knob, and so on. I then stepped back and was about to move on when I saw this sticker on the quarter window. "Look all you want, but please don't touch"

Once I saw this, my level of appreciation for this car at this show rose even more. The sticker showed how much attention had been given to this car. Even the size of the sticker.. not to big, but enough to get your attention. Even the reflection of the photographer looks good.

The shot of the sticker was my last of the car, and after it, I took a minuet to simply take in the presence of what I was looking at.

I've always enjoyed a good looking classic muscle car, but after seeing this one I feel like I know even more, what a great example looks like..

Pumped: Monster 'Maro

The Camaro was one of the original muscle cars. With some hiccups in its past I defiantly think it has come full circle and holds true to its muscular roots even in its modern form.. this brings the second section on Air Pumps called "Pumped" a small peak of a rad ride I come across in the wild.

This beast is oozing with character, it's rare to find a modern car with so much personality. Like it or not, this pump makes an impact on its viewers. 

I believe the theme the owner was going for is a Landshark or Bigfoot.. or a bobcat or a cougar. Not really sure but I think it is some sort of land going fang sporting animal... as can be seen in the lower grill.. Menacing isn't it?

Adding to the animal theme the wheel nut spikes elude to some sort of claws... Hinting further to a Bobcat or Cougar. The Incurve wheels are on point with the theme. 

Any way you look at is this Camaro makes an impact. And maybe the owner isn't trying to resemble any kind of already known animal, maybe he's trying to show the Camaro for what he believes it to be a small vicious animal that eats mustangs... 

One thing I don't like about winter is literally all the road going cars are dirty, but in this particular case I feel it only ads to the breathtaking personality this car has. I'm waiting for the day I stumble across the owner and get a date for a more in depth shoot.
