This is what I was thinking.
Unless your commute involves backroads with no traffic and a few laps around the track maybe it's a better idea to recalibrate your brain and what you expect out of your car? Don't give AF about traffic and just listen to music or podcasts in a comfortable car that costs very little to own.
Here's the deal... with the mileage you put on the car it's very likely a small commuter car will pay for it's self vs a V8 Camaro. So it may actually be cheaper to buy a Camaro for occasional use + have a small commuter car. You can often find really good lease deals that would cost less than the difference in gas you'd pay for a V8 Camaro.
I don't get driving any nice car if you have to commute. It's usually a traffic filled slog that's not going to be awesome in any car. IMO it's easier and less stressful in a smaller car you don't care that much about. Commuting in a Camaro would suck. It's big, it's a PITA to park because the doors are long AF and the car is wide.
I'm glad I work from home!
