Cool IKEA run and road trip with my 2010 Camaro

For all of you considering a 2010 Camaro but the `WAF`factor is keeping it out of your driveway... (Wife Acceptance Factor) Take a look at these photos. They are not the first that I have posted of my adventures in shopping, I have posted my Costco `full Christmas shopping cart`packing adventures before, but here is our IKEA trip today where we bought a bunch of stuff including a large Armoire and many additionals. It`s a very large and long car, but the hatch is rather smallish. Both of these long and heavy boxes fit through the hatch and with the seats folded down, it was quite easy to get it all in.

Also, take a look at our road trip pictures, I loaded two adults, two kids (10 and 6) and the Chihuahua into the car with 2 big duffle bags, 4 sleeping bags, a soft cooler for food, ice and beer (got my priorities straight) with several other bags and all fit fine. We averaged 8-9 liters per 100 KM`s (about 28-29 MPG) with a FULL load. I did almost 750 KM`s on one tank, rather impressive without even a trouble at all.

To all the wives out there, it`s a very functional sports coupe! Much better than my 75 Camaro, that had a tiny, odd shaped trunk.

Best 2 all!

The perma-grin effect pictured above by a good buddy giving me a ride in my Camaro!
Used 75 Camaro = $3500
Rolling restoration over 10 years = $5000
$5 of gas burned in 10 seconds = Priceless!
