The car you got instead of the camaro

I seen a camaro today and I had a thought that maybe I bought tue wrong vehicle.basically I just recently bought a Chevrolet avalanche and sometimes i think i should have bought a camaro. Has anyone else bought a different vehicle and regretted it ?

Don't get me wrong I love my avalanche but sometimes I wish I had the camaro. I feel like it would fit my age more just because I see myself being 22 in a camaro more then a avalanche. In any case I'm going to get it in a year or 2 so I just have to wait. My question then is going to be whether to get another gas guzzuling v8 or v6

Nothing wrong with driving the kids around in the Camaro and some freaks around here tow things with their Camaro's. As far as parking at Walmart... I did it once only because I had to and was freaking out the entire time. That almost justifies the purchase of another vehicle. Almost.

I saw the Camaro back as far as I can remember. I used to buy up all of the Chevy magazines as a kid to look at Gen 1's (by then the 3rd Gens were a big hit). I always told myself I would own a Camaro and got myself a 3rd Gen for two years... sold it off and moved. When the time was right, I knew I had to have the Camaro and of course I saw all of the announcements two years ago or so. I knew I wouldn't be happy with anything but this car.

So... with money steady... a pay raise guaranteed in the near future (two in fact guaranteed by contract)... I decided to do it. I couldn't be happier. Well, I could be... I could have this car and a Z-28! So when that comes out I should have it as well.
