I purchased my 2015 Camaro SS Commemorative Edition convertible literally from the showroom floor on Thanksgiving weekend of that year. Other than my condominium, it was the largest purchase I'd ever made and I sorta dove into it, relative to my budget and income at the time. It was the last run of the 5th generation, I had seen the 6th generation and knew it was my final opportunity to purchase a vehicle that I ogled each time that I passed a Chevy dealership.
Things have changed since then. New employment and significantly more income, allowed me to sell the condo to build a small house. Occasionally, I think of the vehicles that I could only dream of owning and would've purchased, had I been earning then, what I am now and whether I should trade. The two vehicles are the 2014-15 Camaro Z/28 and the 2014–19 Corvette.
The issues are that I live in the Pacific Northwest, so spirited driving conditions are mostly not ideal due to weather, and I work remotely now. My (not even) daily driver is a 2019 Impala LT with ~28K miles and the Camaro has only ~24K miles. While I'm financially more secure and comfortable, I don't carelessly spend, so I can't seem to justify spending $20K+ simply to have something different sitting mostly undriven. I won't get into how less practical the other vehicles are too.
I'll be clear in that I
my Camaro. Nothing about it disappoints me. If it weren't the Commemorative Edition, the decision would certainly be easier, but Chevy hit it out of the park with this package. Anyway, I felt like sharing my thoughts a decade into ownership. I appreciate you indulging me and please let me know if there's a consideration which I'm missing.
