Well, I learned my lesson and I now have what I really should have bought the last time. Only mods are fog lamps, a catch can that I have to put on, and fuzzy dice. I love every minute of my drive time now and I am not nearly as stressed out when I do get home.
If you love the Camaro then you already know what your answer is before you posted. Enjoy the ride!
^This. I commute 60 miles a day to and from work and I want it to be a comfortable and fun drive and drive something I actually look forward to driving. I had a Ford Fusion on loan once when my Ford truck was in the shop and thought I'd utilize it and put miles on it instead of my Camaro and I was totally miserable driving it. I wound up letting the Fusion sit and took my Camaro anyway. Same goes when I used to drive beaters. My favorite vehicle to drive is what goes to work with me. Why be miserable driving to and from work and have a nice vehicle you actually enjoy to be in and drive sit home and never move? Doesn't make sense to me.... Kinda like buying a top of the line bed but spending most of your time sleeping on a cheap futon uncomfortable because you want to save the bed....
