I’ve had it since 2800. I want to keep the low miles. I know that mentality isn’t for everyone and frankly I don’t care. All that said I’ve thought about selling it due to it sitting. But then I know I’ll miss it and regret it if I did. I make significantly more money now than I did when I bought either of my 5th gens. My solution to this is to keep the Camaro as my “Baby” and get a mid mile 40-60,000 mile Z51 or maybe grand sport C7 as my daily driver. I am actively looking for the “right one” if it takes a year to find it so be it, I’m not in a hurry. One that is already not perfect, been driven in the weathet, has a scratch or two etc. and drive the hell out of it as a daily for the next 5+ or however many years it ends up being. A C7 beater if you will. I’ll take very good care of it inside and out as well as mechanically, but it is the daily. The Camaro will still be the weekend warrior pampered garage queen.

While I'm not wanting to rack up the mileage, I'm also not intentionally trying to keep it extremely low. I actually wish there were more opportunities to drive it. I figure that if I'm not enjoying driving it, I'm only saving it for someone else to enjoy driving it, which is definitely not the plan.
