I sold my Camaro today... It was getting hot constantly,the engine was knocking, and the trans was shifting harder so I traded it in to a Toyota Dealer and we came home with a new XLE camry... (my mom wouldnt even look at Domestic cars...)

Now I get to drive a 2003 Toyota Highlander till I can save up to buy a better car,lame

The only good thing now is I have a way better chance of getting a 5th Gen in a few years so its not the worst day ever but It still sucks

Meh I never had a chance to convince her,she had a new Lexus back in the 1990s, and the 03 Highlander has 117k miles and never had a problem so she likes em, I dont really care...,my dad still has a Tahoe so its not so bad

You'll have problems now...

Malibu has the least amount of warranty repairs of any car made, has more room, and gets better MPG.

Sorry to hear the news.

Malibu sales are also up like what 51% from last year. Must be doing something right.

I'm sorry to read about the problems you had with your Camaro. :(

With all due respect to your Mom, her attitude, while maybe just, due to past domestics, is "short-sighted". I'd bet that if she took a moment to look at a new Malibu, etc., her opinion might change.

Hope there's a new Camaro in your future.

I dont really care what my mom drives, shes the one who paid 26k for it(good deal IMO)

yeah I miss my Camaro, I loved it, I even kept the GM door key and the Cig lighter to remember it

and also my Highlander (v6 3.0) beat a 2003 mustang today (V6 of coarse, with Flowmasters,K/N air filter), so that was pretty sick

Conflict · 02-05-2009, 05:39 PM

well first of all I love her

and secondly she said she'll let me "borrow" money for my next car when I find the right one

you can falcon punch someone you love.

tell her what kind of retirement home she gets to spend the rest of her life in will be decided by you getting a camaro or not.
