How is your better half dealing with your obsesion with the new camaro? - Page 13 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mine has been complaining about the price, but in the last few weeks has settled down a little bit. Half the reason I'm so anxious for it to get here is so that she can't keep arguing about whether or not to get it or which options I need to take off!!

I think my wife is officially fed up with me talking about the car, and spending such an inordinate amount of time on this board. Everytime I mention something "cool" I learned on the boards, or another feature of the car, she just rolls her eyes.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop, since this is my first real car I've ever ordered or customized. I'll be 26 in August, so I hope to have this car for many many many years.

hahah...i second that (though she is supportive over the purchase, as a whole)

My wife knows how important this car is to me and is very supportive. Well, as long as she knows she's number 1!

Hesh · 04-29-2009, 10:35 AM

Yep agreed. The wife knows I love her 1st but the Camaro is a very close 2nd...lol.

+1 on that brother, the wife is supportive of whatever I want, just as long as she knows that she's #1. ")

JUSTINASS · 04-29-2009, 10:43 AM

my wife did the same thing when I bought my 00 SS...
now she is the one driving me nuts...she wants a 2010 2SS RS...and she wants it now...
I tell her to wait a little while because I don't want to pay MSRP much less over...

Beau Tie · 04-29-2009, 10:44 AM

Oh...my wife doesn't give a flying F#$K about my purchasing of a Camaro. She continues to hear from me about it, but she just smiles and says "oh, ok". :(

In fact, the last time I mentioned it, she said "well, what am I going to drive in the winter...my Camry sucks in the winter. Can't you wait until my Camry lease is up?"

Yup...she wants me to have it....NOT.

Then I asked if she would go with me to CamaroScotty's dealership next week for the May 6th PARTAY, and she said "well, I have to work"..so i said "can you leave early?" and she said "not sure..probably not"...then she said after I said I would LIKE her to go with me "I will see what I can do, but not likely...if I can't go, you and our son can go and I will see you two when I get home".

Then she left to go tanning. Women....damn priorities.

Rocks RS · 04-29-2009, 10:47 AM

My wife says that she is #2 for now, behind the Camaro, but she will be back to #1 several months after I get the "Shiney new toy".

I tell her, "maybe?".
