Ok so i just bought my car 08-02-12 2LS AGM 2013 i have 2079 miles already. I live in Chicago and i travel all over to meet up with friends and family and i took it to Michigan two weekends ago. For most part it's been on the highway or interstate going places.

Has anyone else put these kinda miles on there new camaro?

P.S. I take train to work and home so the car is park most of the day and sometimes i never drive it unless i have to go some where. I did not buy this car to worry about gas and miles i brought it to drive and enjoy thing when the time comes to get new one i will do same thing to that one..

Oh my god how could you drive it so much!? Don't you know its going to depreciate and it won't be a collectors car if you drive it? Stop driving it right this instant and put it in the garage and don't touch it. I can't believe you would buy a Camaro and actually drive it! Oh the humanity!!!!!!!

Lol drive the hell out of it and enjoy it, you never know if you'll be around tomorrow. I've got 35k miles on mine.

drive it, you paid for it.

I put 2k on mine in a month and then it slowed down a lot but i still drive it whenever i can. I am at 5K mark nearing 6 months

Ive had mine 8 months and have 15k miles on it already. The way i look at it is you bought it to have fun right? If you have the money to buy a few cars i mean by all means park it in the garage. If not i say drive it every chance you get.

that is impossible.....you can NOT drive it too much.

I picked my 2013 at the very end of July, close to you, and I just went over 2500 miles. You bought the car to enjoy it!! Everyone ask me, 'you putting all those miles on that new car?"

My response is always, "I bought it to drive it, not look at it."

Enjoy your car. I wish I could drive mine more than I get to. I have had mine since October of 2009 and only have 12,*** miles on it. I'm not trying to keep it a garage queen, or keep it low miles. I just don't seem to get the time to enjoy it as much as I use to.

PIHat92 · 08-29-2012, 03:58 PM

I had 5K on mine when I picked it up in June; got about 7.5K on it as of today. It's my daily driver, and I love every minute of driving it. I would drive to the store to get a pound of coffee one bean at a time if I could...
