What does your Camaro mean to you?

I know to some people, its just a car and nothing more. To some, like me, its a price possession and to some, they're in the middle. For me, its like my child. After waiting almost 5 years to finally get one and it be the one I wanted ever since 7-4-7 (I'm sure some people know the importance of that date), it more than a car, it's a dream come true. I told the guy at the dealer along with everyone else, I'm NEVER giving up this car. Don't care if I'm homeless and aint got a dime to my name, still never selling it or ridding myself of it. I plan for it to be my casket when my time in this world is up. I know there aren't a lot of people out there who would take it to that degree, so what does your car, if anything, mean to you?

Saw it on the used lot of a GMC truck dealership. I wanted a manual trans and the 1LE was cool so I bought it. I drive it a lot. It's been hit on the driver side and the new paint doesnt quite match where it's blended but I don't care...I drive it a lot and enjoy the hel out of it. I'm proud of it but it does not live in a plastic bubble. I plan on keeping it a while right now but If I need something better suits my life style later, well, the Camaro is gonna get gone to do it. It's just something fun that I enjoy and nobody else around here has one, and I like the attention it gets and answering questions and stuff.

since it's my 1rst camaro, it holds some sentimental value. I do miss my '79 Formula though.

It's a nice car. It's fun to drive. But, yeah, at the end of the day it's a car.

To me it symbolizes hard work and my youth. I could have invested my money elsewhere, somewhere smarter and towards the future, but hey I'm 21 and I wanted a bada%$ car. I have my whole life ahead of me to start a family and drive a mini van haha. I saved up for 3 years so I take some pride in that as well. I think everyone here takes pride in their cars, that's why we are all here on this forum

My Camaro means a lot to me but a distant second when it comes to my family.

It's more than a car. Have met a lot of great friends due to the camaro. It's a bonding experience. My son is growing up with the car. Just today he said "daddy when I get old enough can you let me have your car". I told him I don't know we will see. Just hit 5k miles today with no plans to get rid of it.

No one says you have to get rid of it when you get older and have kids. My wife has a minivan as that is what she wanted as a DD and I have a CC truck to haul the kids.

Always a smart ass reply.

I have many dream cars ranging from a Lamborghini Murc SV, to a Pagani Zonda F and yes a V6 2014 2LT Bumblebee Camaro. My dreams are my dreams, they dont require your approval or understanding.
