Good Bye Camaro (for now)

for the winter, Hello Chevy Cruze just bought a 2012 Cruze figured with the miles driven each day to work, cost of gas and winter weather I could justify buying this winter beater and daily driver to save miles and "TIRES" on my 2010 Camaro. So for now the baby sleeps but hey now I can take more the 1 friend for rides.

Exactly. Maybe if you got a used 4x4 or a front wheel drive anything from 1991 or prior...then Yes, that's a Winter Beater. That is one nice car you bought with the Cruise.

At least "Good Bye Camaro" didn't mean, traded it in or sold it.

I have a 97 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 that is my winter beater. Just put some new shocks all around on it. Really ought to put some fog lights on it too since the stock headlights are pretty terrible especially when used to driving with HIDs.

The real question is: Did it come with the same Steering Wheel as the Camaro!!??
While the rest of your body will definitly notice the difference, your finger tips might not realize you are no longer in your baby. Muscle Memory is a wonderful thing, and NOT to be messed with. hahah.

Yeah my 92 blazer 4x4 is my winter beater/DD. Ill always want a 4x4 for winter, iv spent too much time in my friends and familys sedans just spinning tires. And of course in my camaro when i used to drive that in the winter lol. But to each his own! The cruze is a great car!

I test drove the Cruze before Camaro, gas mileage was nice. That was about all I liked about it. But will make a nice gas and mileage saver.
