Anyone second-guessing getting a Camaro? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Only that I don't have two of them, one for a daily driver and my custom one.

yep, it seems that most of the replies kinda missed the point . . .

but I do think there is some validity to the economic argument; probably the best way to really help people is to enable them to help themselves -- and the best way to to that is with a good job . . . and in order to have good jobs the economy needs to be moving . . . so buying an "American" car (yes made in Canada but that is part of North America) rather than doing something else with the money . . . like let's say let it sit in the bank and make fat-cat bankers even fatter . . . actually does help people

Conflicted.

When we buy new cars, we create jobs. That helps other people. Buy the Camaro, create jobs, feel good about yourself.

Examine the power of deprivation! Who is to say that the turn your life takes by purchasing this car doesn't lead to more abundance for you and other people

On the one hand, life is short and one should enjoy it.

You can still enjoy your Camaro and volunteer to help others.
Win Win.

Definantely not reconsidered! I've been drooling on these camaros since i was 12/13 years old. 4 years later, and the time is almost right and i am about to get one. Not once have I thought about not getting it. 1 more month!!!!

ROD1 · 01-24-2010, 04:42 PM

Yup til I got one. I feared buyers remorse in a big way. Never happened!

Same here - I wasn't overextending myself but my monthly payments were going up a pretty good chunk over my old car. Any doubts at all vanished once I started her up and drove home! Plus I think I've been nicer to everybody because my car makes me so happy haha.

Drew10 · 01-28-2010, 10:04 AM

Nope....I have buyers remorse for buying everything else from cars to shoes but NOT my Camaro.

I haven't stopped grinning yet.

fastal · 01-28-2010, 10:43 AM

Sometimes I regret getting a 2LT/RS with sunroof and CGM hockey stripes in RJT instead of a 1SS Victory Red, but other then that nope.

Bert · 01-28-2010, 11:12 AM

this is kinda weird -- didn't this thread get moved out of this forum, and now it's moved back in here?

but anyway, volunteer your time and donate to good causes when you can, and feel good about treating yourself to a Camaro as a reward for being such a good guy!

that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
