My story....
I rode a motorcycle (Yamaha FZ6) to work everyday for several years, year round, 70 miles/day, in traffic. It was nice to get to work fast regardless of traffic, and I could use the car pool lane and split lanes, etc.
I put over 75k miles on that bike until I wandered into a Chevy dealer and saw the Camaro. I had always liked the way the 5th Gen looked and I had no idea 2016 was a new generation. It was on my mind for 3 months... every time I drove by the dealer I would think about the Black on Black gloss wheels one I wanted. It had the $2000 wheel upgrade with red stripe and the $3000 Brembos up front, black bowties, it was so bad ass.
I stopped by about 4 times, showed my sons, brought the wife by, i couldn't stop thinking about it. I was hoping the dealer would sell the Black one so I could say "Good, glad that is over"... but it was still there. one day, they had the Black one INSIDE the dealership, rotating! it was awesome. I finally made an offer on it... they said no but we have others... and I said "no" and left.
I could not justify it... "what do I need this Camaro for?" I would say.. Everything it is good at is illegal! but it is so damn cool though... all that power with a manual trans... someday you won't be able to buy something like this anymore. Plus all the gadgets too, it would be nice treat for me.... I deserve it right!.
Problem was I didn't want to trade my truck.... so this would be yet another extra vehicle.. I REALLY don't need that.
I finally talked myself into getting the Camaro (in July 2016) by saying I need to stop riding that bike to work, I'm pushing my luck, etc. My wife worried everyday that I rode a motorcycle. So I finally got the Camaro.
The Black on Black with every option one I originally wanted did sell before I made my decision so I considered other colors until I found the Nightfall Gray Metallic with black wheels, M6, MRC, NPP, sunroof, etc which is the one I took home.
The Black one was very flashy, I'm glad I have the Gray one instead.
Bottom line, I only rode my FZ6 to work once since July.. and when I got home I said I'm never doing THAT again. that's the problem with commuting on a bike, I never rode it for fun. (that reminds me I need to sell that thing!)
so I drive my Camaro everyday, 35 miles each way, in traffic, etc, but I look forward to it every day. hit that Start button and KaPow! love it.
