never loved a THING as much as i love my camaro - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have been passionate about muscle & sports cars from as far back as I can remember; especially Chevys ... more specifically Camaros & Corvettes. At this stage of my life, I'm lucky enough to enjoy both; each has their own 'personality' and it depends on my mood as to which I enjoy more. Even now, there are times I can't help but take a look in the garage on my way down the hall just to look ... always puts a smile on my face

Every time I open my garage door, my heart throbs! Even it's a v6, it's still an awesome car.

I agree Drew, I agree.

My sentiments exactly!

sidenote: I don't understand this generation that doesn't get cars, doesn't want to drive and dreams more about owning the next iPhone than owning a car. Owning a vehicle like my 2010 SS is a dream I've had since I was playing with matchbox cars. A dream come true!

I've had muscle cars all of my life. They're all great in their own ways. My Corvette's get a whole lot more attention, since there are Camaro's everywhere you look around here, but there's a lot of great cars out there - the classics being king in looks, though the newer stuff rides a lot better (though costs a lot more to fix and with more potential for issue). Proper cars for mood and application - If I'm heading to Home Depot, I'm in the Silverado. If I'm heading into the hill country, it's the Vette or the Miata for the curvy roads. Down the main highway, the Camaro or one of the classics.

Why be limited in life?

I totally agree with the "different rides for different applications". And if I'm headed to a curvy road I'd prefer to take my wife's FRS.

But owning my Camaro is the completion of a dream come true, which is what I believe the OP is really talking about. Yeah there are better, but to me... the day I paid off my Camaro was the day I kept the promise to the kid inside me!

I feel the same way about my Camaro now that I did when I bought my B12. My feelings for the B12 have changed over the 18 years I've owned it. Hopefully, the Camaro stays with me as long and I can be buried with both it and my bike.
