I never considered that the car was a variable until when I didn't drive my Camaro the female owner asked my about why I drove my truck instead of my silver convertible. I didn't think too much about this until I drove through a drive through at a Long John Silver's locally and ordered only a large drink to take on a cruise around town. When I pulled up to the drive-through window with my top down the girl said," Wow, sweet car! The drink is free for you tonight!."

The downside to this phenomenon is that if this keeps up, I may no longer fit in my car!


Maybe the girl is hoping to get your phone number!!

Anything that can go wrong in a camaro- will go wrong
at least thats the case for me

That's what you get for having silly rules in the first place, its just a car.

I was kidding. But, as I knew would happen, many aren't and they freak out over this.

I'm not keeping my Camaro in a hermetically sealed garage, rarely ever seeing the light of day.

I wash, vacuum and dust mine constantly, but I also do unthinkable things like eat, drink and smoke in it.

It's a car, not a museum piece.

Get the laser fit WeatherTech floormats....they're the best. Something spills in them and you can just take them out (carefully) and hose them off.

The only thing I've ever gotten is "the burgers are free if I can have the keys" (to my car) I gladly hand over 5 dollars for food instead of my keys

Do you know what a 7-11 Slurpee is?
I think you could make one, and only one exception , and cruise the summer with a Slurpee in hand/cupholder.

Never happened to me. In fact it feels like half the time they don't even give me everything I pay for. I hate having to walk inside after I pull away.

No smoking. No eating. No drinking. I like a clean car and I have better things to do than perform interior bitch work.

Just drive and crank up the jams.

I use to not eat in the car either, but then I realized time spent eating was time I couldn't be in my car. It became a choice of either eat in the car or starve. Evetually hunger won out. I am careful about what I choose. My burgers have no ketsup ANC no mustard, No chocolate, no colored liquids, ect. And Im not a smoker so that's not an issue.
