Posted by samzenpus on from the nerds-roll-out dept.

roelbj writes "Automotive stories are few and far between on Slashdot, but today's news from Chevrolet might just make a few readers' mouths water at the chance to own their own Bumblebee. Today at Comic-Con, General Motors officially announced the 2010 Chevy Camaro Transformers Special Edition. The $995 appearance package can be applied to LT (V6) and SS-trim Camaros in Rally Yellow with or without the optional RS package."

    ...this is pretty awesome. That being said, they absolutely should make a Decepticon option for the appropriate cars.

      Imagine you're a kid on one of the twelve colonies, and Apollo saves you from being lost in the extras. You beg Apollo for a Cyclon that you can order about, to shoot up your enemies. Apollo goes to see an engineer, and brings back a dumb, annoying person dressed up in a robot suit, calling him Muffet. So you take Apollo's gun while he's playing with the "dagget", and hijack a Viper instead.

    Where health care and Government Motors converge is in Progressive Utopialand.
    You'll drive to your Obamacare appointment in your Transformers Edition Camaro as a result of the new Bill of Rights, as promulgated by FDR:

    raze the thicket of hate speech emitted by right-wing talk radio,
    and call the copse on any Tea Party protesters that show up at their Congressman's office wondering WTF.
