My Camaro has ruined for for all other cars! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So when I bought my Camaro in June 2010, I promised my son that he could have it when he turned 16. (provided he kept up with his grades and remained a decent/respectful human being).. Well he turned 16 and I was off to car shop. I looked at A LOT of cars. 350Z, Mustang, MINI Cooper, Solstice and Sky. I HATED all of them compared to my Camaro. So my precious son finally told me " Mom, I know you love the Camaro so it's ok if you keep it and I wouldn't mind a truck as long as I get to drive the Camaro some"... So I bought him a Ford f-150 Sport and Mama got to keep her Camaro. All is right with the world again. lol

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cool story

You got a great kid there!

B1G-AL · 12-23-2011, 04:00 PM

What a great son! If that was me I would have said you best go buy another Camaro and keep your word!

Great story and what a awesome understanding son! My son, who is 7, has already told me that he wants my car when he turns 16. I guess I still have about 9 more years to think about it!

I was gonna do that very thing but that is when he came and said what he did about the truck. I was totally prepared to keep my word (gotta be an example) but we compromised. He figures this was he gets to drive both the Camaro and the F-150 not a bad thing in his eyes! lol

nice story

The kid turned down a Camaro. Something is VERY wrong here.

Good kid. But don't make him drive an inferior truck!

It's better than me driving one! keke... He doesn't know what he is missing. Yet!!! I am afraid once he drive the Camaro for the first time he will be sitting me down to renegotiate....

Is it possible that your son doesn't want a v6 Camaro (is your a v8)? There's a lot of girls driving v6 Camaros and v6 Mustangs. The F150 would be a more manly car to be seen in. You know how kids are, V8 or nothing.

SSFury · 12-23-2011, 06:03 PM

Cool story.. understanding kid.. yeah, once he drives it for the first time.. you might go to leave the house, and find your camaro missing, and an F-150 sitting there waiting for you..

My son is 10.. not looking forward to that day either.

Mine is a V6, I bought a V6 so that he could drive it. No way would I give a 16 year old a V8. Yes, he wants the car. It is all he has talked about for a year. He went with me for well over a month car shopping and he saw how much I really loved my Camaro and didn't want to cause me distress. I explained to him it was only a car and that HE meant more to me than a car.... After much thinking he settled for a truck. He said he felt selfish considering I was paying for him a vehicle and he didn't feel right about taking my car.... Mind you he didn't get a plain jane F-150. It is the sport package w/leather seats and all the other bells and whistles. No one at his school has a gen5 Camaro but there are at least 30 Mustangs (his 10th grade class had 650+ students), so I don't think it is a V6/V8 thing or girl thing. He generally is a great kid and he figures he will drive the truck to school and he can take the Camaro on dates and such.

***** The whole point of the story is, I am a proud Mama and sometimes I just like to brag on my kid.

Congrats on keeping the camaro...I hear that trucks are the status quo in Texas.
