I am probably not the first to say this, but I find my car to be more than just a car. Waking up in the morning for work is just that much more fun, knowing I get to drive to work in her. I have yet to name her, but have decided that I am going to be a little easier on it starting this summer. I bought the car with the intention of DD'ing the thing, but after doing so, I feel I would rather try to make it last a few more years, by getting a second car for work commute, and boring driving. I am going to get something good on gas, and 4 door (probably an old VW golf). Love the car, and am glad to say, that I am in the position to have her as just a "toy".
Moral of the story: I finally get the thought process of the guys that don't DD their Camaros.
Thanks for reading
