2010 Chevy Camaro LS Shows Off Rallye Style Wheels [2010 Chevy Camaro LS]

Apparently Disney World's Test Track at Epcot of all places took delivery of their 2010 Chevy Camaro LS and a forum-head over at Camaro5 snagged shots which display a sweet, retro-style set of rallye wheels.



The obvious throwback to the old school Camaro warms the car-guy cockles. We actually think this Camaro adds a certain degree of tough-guy attitude missing from the other Camaros. Now if it can be had with a stripe running around the nose, we'll be in hardcore Camaro fanboy heaven. Please Chevy, make it so. [Camaro5]

Old-Fashion Drive-In Movie Theater

The old-fashion drive-in movie theater night was held in Denver, NC for the Denver Days Fall Festival! Driving into the movie venue with your classic car created “drive-in movie style” atmosphere, which was exciting for car enthusiast. The crowd was entering the venue with a view of a large movie screen with classic cars parked to enjoy the movie!

Please click on the video below to view the scene!

This isn't your normal cruise-in! There were several people commenting on how this movie night brought back memories of past family activities. This was a great concept!
