Monster Truck camaro?

I wish I could confirm, but my girlfriend swears that she saw a thirdgen (which she knows very well becuase I point out everyone I see) in N.C that was jacked up with big tires and was high off the ground. That is the only description I could get. Has anyone out there seen this beast? If so please tell me you have pics. Seems like a crazy thing to do but I have seen it done to jaguars, so why not camaros.

I have seen it before, This has come up before and I think the overall tone of the discussion was *******. But no she is not going crazy, and I am glad im not the only one that points out ever third gen I pass.
