When you go on trips.....

So when you go on trips of say 300-400 miles one way for a few days do you drive your Camaro or do you rent a car as I do and save the miles and wear & tear from your Camaro?

I leave mine all snuggled up in the garage under blankets and I drive the hell out of the Toyota rent a car....

I rented a toyota in Vegas once, wow what a pos! Yes our SGM SS is a garage queen too! But the '13 BRM gets daily usage when the weather is good.

Well those Toyotas like'em or not run forever it seems so I would rather run up the miles on a Toyota than my Camaro...

I plan on driving mine as much as possible. You can't take anything with you when you die. If it wears out, I'll either fix it or buy another one.

That's probably best, you may have to fuel up once depending on how much you wanted to open her up with the 1LE. But the gas pedal stuck toyota will do just fine.

I plan 3 to 400 mile road trips for my Camaro. I live outside Detroit. It's been to Chicago more than once, Tennessee several times. I will never rent a Toyota.
