Camaro: The Ultimate Cougar Carby Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
The first male who lost his heart to the
bright yellow Camaro wasn't even ten years old. The son of my chiropractor
wanted to comb his hair (much to his parents' pleasure) and show me his bumble
bee hat. I had no idea what he was talking about. But I learned at a young
age to listen to what a male was saying and then figure it out later. **
The counter boy at Jason's Deli was really
excited to see me drive up. He was the first man who might have been old enough
to vote who commented on the car. At a favorite store, two young gentlemen were
admiring the Camaro when I came out. In less than ten minutes, it had attracted
a crowd. When I took some items to a charity, the
worker came out to the Camaro to carry my donation in. He said he was eager to
see what someone who drove a Camaro would give away. Then my daily UPS delivery man saw me park it
in front of my loft. He rushed over and said that was his son's
favorite car. I politely asked how old his son was (wondering if
he was old enough to drive.) He said 23. That was still too young for my cougar
mood, but a move forward toward adult males.
The ones that got away
Driving back to my loft one day, I saw at
group of tall young men with jackets that said, "Russia" on them. One of them
took out his camera and snapped a picture of the Camaro. If I had not been
driving, I would have grabbed my camera and taken a picture of him taking a
picture of the Camaro. Besides attracting young men,

I have always
liked men a little younger than me. Even my ex-husband was younger. Usually I
like men about ten years or so younger than me. 
I confess, I
never saw the movie Transformers. After few days, I was not surprised when
young men started saying bumblebee when they saw me in the Camaro.
A courtesy
officer at my loft building asked if he could just sit in it. Since he was
dressed in bumblebee colors (actually his uniform) I decided to say yes.
It was easy to
spot the Camaro in a parking lot. 
Ask
me what is important in a car, and I will save a good place for a purse and a
large trunk. The Camaro really didn't excel at either of these needs. And
it was awkward to reach back and put on the safety belt. I thought maybe I was
having a problem because I am short. But a guy friend drove it one day and
agreed that it was a stretch to reach back for it.
