camaro 300x202 Thank you General Motors!

I’m leaving to go out of town to do a review this weekend at Tybee Island in Savannah,Ga. All of this was put together by the fab Toren Anderson! The place that I’m reviewing is www.oceanfrontcottage.com. Then I thought to myself, hmm I should give my pals over at General Motors a phone call so that I can ride in style. Last car I test drove for GM was a Buick Lacrosse and I loved that car! I hated to give it back. They called me back in a prompt manner and said yes, we can have that delivered to your door this week! Now if that ain’t service with a smile, I dont know what is lol.

I explained what I was doing and they were happy to oblige. I was jumping up and down when they said they had a 2010 v6 Chevy Camaro! The rep said and guess what Tami we are shipping you the bumble bee! I said gasp, not the yellow one? He said you got it! I am going to be riding in style, cant wait to drive it! I would like to thank Araba from GM for hooking me up, you rock!

From GM:

2010 Chevy Camaro. With a 304 hp V6 and an EPA est. 29 MPG highway, Camaro proves that awe-inspiring design, performance and efficiency can coexist – perfectly. On top of that, Camaro also comes standard with OnStar1 for one year, XM Radio2 with three trial months, and MP3 playback. Add in available USB connectivity3 andBluetooth® wireless technology4 for select phones on select models, and you’ll see that Camaro is as technologically savvy as it is exhilarating.

Last night I had an amazing time!  Alot of local media was invited out to sample a new menu at C&S  Seafood and Oyster Bar. I love trying new restaurants,it’s so much fun! I know this will be a busy valentine day weekend for alot of couples, so what a perfect time to tell my readers about a great hot spot to try. C & S Seafood and Oyster Bar is located in the Cobb Parkway area of Atlanta. When I walked in the door, I felt like I had entered a fast paced NYC joint.

The atmosphere felt like a family owned business. It was filled with white linens and wine glasses everywhere, I already loved it. When I chatted with Rich Clark, co-owner of C&S Seafood and Oyster Bar he told me he wanted it to be like a neighborhood place.

He said mostly 75% of the business comes from people around the area. They opened the restaurant in 2008. Rich studied accounting before transitioning into the restaurant business. He told me he worked his way up from bus boy to general managers, at some of the most upscale restaurants. I asked Rich to give people out there some good advice if they were thinking of opening a business. He told me jokingly but seriously, “CASH FLOW” lol. I agree, it’s a tough economic time, do your research and location is always key. Having great food and great customer service is  very important too!
