I wouldn't call a 2SS Camaro "super expensive", it's definitely up there for a Chevy but no where close to "super expensive." When you start looking at a car that you could buy a decent size house outright for like a Ferrari/Lambo/Aston Martin/etc... then you're at "super expensive"
Average price for a NEW good car w/ some options these days is upper $20's. Considering I paid ~$35k for my 2SS Camaro brand spanking NEW, I'm only what? $6-8k above average. That's not bad at all, especially as I plan to hold on to it for at least 10+ years, definitely as long as possible if not my whole life.
Some people have different priorities in life, some like to travel, some like to spoil their kids, others like to buy cars. I fall in the latter, I don't have any kids to spoil, I travel every now and again but nothing expensive, and I am obsessed with CARS. By no means am I rich, I just sacrifice in other areas for the Camaro.
