Anyone else feel bad about parting with their car?

I was looking at trading in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara for a Camaro SS but someone bought it off of me tonight before I had the chance to trade it!

Not quite sure how I feel about parting with it

Now what do I do to fill that void in my life? Will a Camaro SS ever fill it?

Depends on how you used your Jeep. If mostly for a daily driver and not much off road or other utility purposes the Camaro should fill the void. Personally ,I gotta have my truck. The wife uses the Camaro as her daily driver. I just mod and polish on it.
I'm fixin' to sell my beloved 06' S2000 though as I simply don't have the garage space for all the toys any more. I'll likely shed a pearly the day it drives off.

I was using the Jeep for daily driving - 33k miles in 5 years. It was pretty good up here in Tallahassee where you can't get into a parking lot with a car without scraping your oil pan raw... but I'm done up here and where I'm moving will be as flat as can be. I wonder how much more a C6 would fill that void though

Cars are kinda like family members to me, even the ones I didn't always like are hard to part with.

That's really a personal decision.

I just sold my daily driving 08 Wrangler (to Chevy) and picked up a 2014 2lt RS.
I did pretty much everything in my Jeep. Do i miss her......yes, even though it's only been 3 weeks, but I am very happy with what i got. I'm sure you will be as well!

Test drive the Camaro. Then you won't even remember what you were driving before.

Not going to lie, kind of feel bad about the way my Scion XB left me. My friends called it the Toaster. Never did get around to painting it like the A Team van like I wanted. I don't give a rat's butt about the truck sitting in my driveway right now, but I think if the Toaster were here and in good shape I'd probably alternate it a couple of days a week with the Camaro.

Hell no I never miss my old car. I got the Camaro a month ago and I am already dreaming about what will be available in 2018-19. My favorite car is always my next one. I sure hope you can still get a V8 muscle car for a reasonable price then if not maybe I mod the Camaro (twin turbo, cam, headers, tune)

Trust me, Camaro SS is a cure for all problems! lol. I just got rid of my '09 Silverado, in place of the Camaro, and I do miss it, but you forget you even drove one while driving/looking at/thinking about your Camaro. Also, my Mom has a silverado, so If I ever need a truck for a day, she gets the Camaro.

you might be disappointed with the CAFE Emission Standards that are coming soon.
