Camaro .... a weekend car? - Page 34 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've had mine 1.5 years and it just turned 3,100 miles. My wife and I will take it out on a nice weekend for dinner or a car show. I bought it to have a nice playtoy alternative to my Harley. I can't justify buying a nice vehicle and driving it silly until the wheels fall off (snow, sleet, rain, 150 mile round trip to work, etc.). Everybody treats 'em different!

Well I was working a job that was 7 on 7 off and was in Colorado. I live in Utah, so every week I was pretty much doing a road trip haha. About 600 one way.

Damn! I bought mine 4/6/2012 and just hit 2600 miles. I thought I was over-doing it. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

I drove mine for a little over a month as a DD. It was during hail season so I was nervous as a thief in a pulpit. Fortunately, no problems. Bought an older Jeep for a DD, drive the Camaro on weekends and occasionally for evening errands. And, of course, car shows.

Absolutely a daily driver...2010 over 70,000 already and still going strong...

CamaroMiami · 07-24-2012, 04:05 PM

Daily Driver

Had my first hip-up(Check Engine Light yesterday-Fixed today) and it's all good now.

Blk-Ice · 07-24-2012, 04:24 PM

03/2010 and 22,000 miles.....mostly HWY miles from my VA home to my NC home. Other than that she is a weekend Princess. My daily Queen is my Escalady bka Escalade ESV! All GM Bay-Bay!

Thanks for supporting GM.

Mine is a DD but only in the summer months. When the snow starts falling up here in PA, I'll be driving my Trailblazer around.

Need to get moved back South with my job so I can drive it year round!

Mine was a daily driver until May when everyday it decided to rain here.I would clean up my car on the weekends and get it back in the garage before it rained.Only to have it rain the day I had to go to work or take care of something else.
I also had some jack wagon pull out in front of me in late November causing 7K worth of damage.After having my beloved repaired I started looking for another means of transportation to work and for other things.I picked up on a Jeep Patriot and use it for work and miscellaneous BS now.The Silver Bullet has been out of the garage once in the past 3 months with only 6,012 on the odometer.
If a C5 members in the West Palm Beach area spots a white Jeep with a Camaro5 sticker on the rear glass that would be me,the Old Fart still enjoying life.
