New Camaro owner... Any advice?
Hey, any advice for a new Camaro owner? @ 27,000 miles now. About to hit 35,000. And before I do. I want to make sure my car is immaculate before the bumper to bumper warranty expires.....

I'm at almost 78k miles, drive that sucker and enjoy it. No problems other than a squeaky HVAC replaced before 36k.

Be careful around curbs... Like bank and fast food drive thru's.
 Curb rash isn't fun  The car's kinda tricky to park IMO. Anyways,  , enjoy your ride!

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.
 oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!

I'll probably offend you
|
Not so much advice for the car, but for you, don't expect other drivers to wave.
Get a catch-can. |

Set aside a good amount of spending cash for mods. When the bug hits, it's hard to turn off. Double check everything! A lot of little things I am finding wrong with mine, like the previous owner broke the cabin air filter box that I want fixed before warranty is up. Bubbles in the from the factory tint in the back window near the defroster.

If it does not have an oil catch can, get one as your first mod before more damage is done. Welcome aboard & enjoy that new permagrin maker.
