Wait ...dude did you trade your car for your wife's venza? If so you are a better man than I.

Suggestion for all those who like going fast and wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend not into camaro. Take them drag racing. My wife went from not really into it to all for it in one test and tune trip. Maybe it will work for you too.

1 month after I bought mine, my wife ordered hers. We do get comments esp from kids when they are both out at the same time. Mine 1LS CGM and hers 1LT RJT.

Hubby is asking if he can use my Camaro today, so he can go get groceries in style for a change... Well the groceries would get soaked in the back of his pickup! I guess it's a valid reason to let him. Or not. I really worry when he's out in my Camaro because.. well... because boys will be boys!
One scratch and it's over though. He knows I would absolutely flip if he messes up my car. He would never EVER get permission to drive it again!

I have a wife who has no interest in riding in my Camaro.

Needless to say, she's an A-to-B driver and would rather I spent the money on something more practical like a new kitchen, etc.

If your spouse or significant other in 'on board' then consider yourself lucky.:(

i just said screw it and got her her own camaro

seems to have worked for me

joes407 · 10-10-2010, 05:49 PM

my wife didnt like to ride in my camaro either so she bought the exact same 1!

toetter · 10-10-2010, 06:09 PM

Same here, but I did not buy it for her, I bought it for me. Hang in there, she will get over it!!

Update. Now the wife says I can get a 2007 C6 convert. Little does
She know I have always wanted a vette. Got my eye on one
with 9k on it for 28k. Might have to pull the trigger on it this
fall.
