Ok, so here's the thing, I'm driving through Italy last week (sadly in my wifes Tahoe) and I'm looking at out trusty Mappy directions and notice we have to drive through a town called "Fierra." Now I was a Fierro owner (don't hold that against me) at one time so I thought it was interesting the words were so similar. Then, I pass a road sign that said "Corsico." Now I'm thinking, "wow thats alot like the Chevy Corsica." Then, and you won't believe this, I pass a sign for a town called "Corvetto." No joke, I swear. So I say, "Damn, GM must get a lot of its car names from towns in Italy," and me being an SS owner started to wonder if maybe, Camaro is also an Italian city. So, I pull up mapquest and sure enough Camaro, IT is a real, no kidding town in Italy.

Anyone want to Road trip to Camaro, IT and get a picture of all of us in front of the Town sign?

Ok, before you answer that, take a look at the mapquest directions:

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Seriously though, if any of you are nuts enough to want to, I probably would be as well. :D

18 hours one way - so what, could go there and back in three days ... :)
(My dad drove down there, though not to Sicilli, once to pick up a friends son from his grandparents ... I think they did make it in three days ...)

Well we made it to Pisa in about 10 hours, So over night in Pisa. Then an Over night somewhere near Sicili, I think there is a Navy base where the cars wouldn't get stolen, then back to Pisa, then return home. So four nights would be comfortable, but I'll bet if we were cruising hard we could squeeze three nights easy. :D

NAS Sigonella is a stop for our A-10's on the way to the sandbox. I would have road tripped up to if I would have known...
