Another question for all you smart people ...

[sholio]

The car that Sheppard was driving in Vegas ... does anyone know what kind of car it was?

Also, if you were going to give a modern-day spy character a cool, sleek, fast car, what kind of car would you give them?

(These questions both relate to a fic I'm writing. I just don't know anything about cars ... if I said "She's driving a Camaro", for example, I know what the car looks like in Google Image Search but I have no idea what connotations a car-savvy person would bring to that kind of car.)

Wow, even seeing it up close doesn't really help. *g* Google Image Search (my best friend!) turns up a Camaro emblem that looks a lot like the one on the car, but I can't find any Camaros with a grill that looks like that.

i am pretty sure its a chevy camaro
the only thing thats throwing my off is the logo on the grill
isn't the usual chevy logo

but it looks really similar to other camaro's

Ah!

*googles around a bit*

Does this look about right? 1978 Camaro (http://chiefbodyandfender.com/gallery_78camaro.html). I can't find anything that looks *exactly* the same, but the mid-1970s Camaros seem to have that emblem on the grill.

well its different from sheps but the emblem is right like you said

so i think we are safe to say its a chevy camaro

Thank you for the help! :)

Ironically, a Camaro was what I'd stuck in as a placeholder for Teyla's car -- she's the spy in question -- so, since Sheppard's got a Camaro, now I need to pick out a new car for her ...
