I have one of the first 2010 in my town and and have had it since August of 09 and only have 645 miles on it. I only drive it on pretty days. I have a Chevy truck as my daily driver.

I hate to call mine a garage queen, but I only drive it weekends (it's always been garaged). My daily driver is a truck I work out of, i couldn't do that to my Camaro. Anyway, when I want to go somewhere nice I take the Camaro. I've had it 16 months and it's got about 8500 miles on it. I took it out this weekend and people still go nuts over it- not like when I got it, but still...

I feel sorry for those people that don't want the permagrin year round !

I don't use it in the snow but I do run her all year round. Nothing a good wash can't handle. Did the same for my 69 and she is still hard as rock all around ! This car is no marshmellow !

Mine was a DD for from april-october, 10k miles. Now it rests in the garage waiting for nice weather in the spring, while the cobalt takes the beating of illinois winter.

Uh lets see... I commute 120 miles per day in LA Traffic. My DD is a turbo diesel Beetle that gets 50 MPG. That savings in fuel PAYS for my Camaro driving on weekends. No decision there.

Weekend only, during spring/summer.

We all love the Camaro with a passion, but it still is a car meant to drive!

CROOPS34 · 12-22-2010, 09:54 AM

weekend/evening car for me. I drive a truck for work and put about 40,000 kms a year on that. Not to mention I would have a hard time being taken seriously on road construction jobs driving a 2010 SS. I got my car in june this past summer and I have just under 4,000 kms (2,500 miles) on her. I'm looking forward to many many years of enjoying my girl...

GARYSSS · 12-22-2010, 10:09 AM

I'm semi retired and the couple part time jobs I do are not great places to take the camaro. I also have several other cars to drive. 10 months old today only 1400 miles. I drive it anytime the weather is good and I'm going somewhere I don't have to worry about something happening to it. Mostly a garage queen.

Amen,

9k since April 2010

Outlaw77 · 12-22-2010, 10:57 AM

DD here to. I bought this car to drive the hell out of it. My work commute is only 5 miles return. I have the luxury of driving it all year round cause the we don't get much snow. Just rain, lots of rain. I feel for teh folks who have put their camaro away for the winter. I could not do that. I would have serious withdrawl issues and most likely lash out at some innocent co-worker lol.

Camaro_Custom_Painted · 12-22-2010, 01:36 PM

Bought it as a summer time, nice day toy. 1 year = 4000 miles. I have other cars to commute in.

NoMercy · 12-22-2010, 01:42 PM

Weekend warrior here. My daily driver is a H2 Hummer. Mainly bought it as a toy for weekend cruising. Got my truck paid for,kid out of the house, so it was time for me to have some fun!

Will never see the rain,sleet,or snow....
