Warning! Lost My Camaro Already to My Wife! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Rhetor · 01-02-2010, 01:31 PM

My Grand Prix GTP finally burned down . . . did my research . . . my wife wanted a Pontiac G8 . . . $6000 off any 2009 G8 since Pontiac left in stock since Pontiac has shut down and are closing out . . . 2 weeks of searching.

We could not find a black G8, she likes black, within reasonable driving distance.

I finally coerced her into test driving a Camaro . . . got in a 2LT auto . . . she said it was "too powerful and therefore just too scary" . . . the V6 auto!

Kept looking for a G8 . . . just not one left out there. Wife said, "Well, we just have to buy a GM (brand loyalty and all) . . . so, she said, "Go ahead and get a Camaro . . . I guess I won't drive it much . . . too scary."

Got a call from a local dealer the morning of New Year's Eve . . . delivery truck just arrived with an unclaimed black 2SS 6M . . . hustled over to the dealer . . . not a trick about just coming in . . . I verified.

Took my wife to go see it . . . no trade in; we bought it since we just could not get a G8 . . . "settled" for the Camaro . . . I convinced her to drive the Camaro home from the dealer as a favor for me (and I followed in our old car).

Just two days later now . . . she has not allowed me to drive "her car!"

I said, "I thought the 6 cylinder automatic Camaro was too scary with all that 304 HP . . . this is 426 ponies and a six speed manual! What gives?" She said, "I have bonded with the car on the trip home from the dealer!"

Uh, I have lost my SS Camaro dream car to my wife without even a test drive! The keys have yet to touch my hand! She did let me ride in the passenger seat yesterday . . . once!

Now thats just too funny!!!!

While waiting on mine to get here. My wife (since she is a previous Camaro owner herself) states she wants one too. A V6 , leather, sunroof, etc. After she drove the Beast for an hour on the first weekend I got it. She stated that she definately wanted her own. And NOT the V6. Her statement was "I want the beef". Meaning hers would be a V8 with manual as well. Now she is looking at a GMC Canyon so, I don't know what the heck she wants.

Kalenn · 01-02-2010, 01:47 PM

I had a manly response all typed up until my wife came in and read it... then made me delete it.

I don't know where they went. I hear she has them in her purse.

Frank in MD · 01-02-2010, 02:00 PM

So, I'm still confused. Did you, (or your wife in this case), get the M6 or the A6? You mentioned the unclaimed 2SS M6, then you mention later 426 HP in the A6.... The A6 is 400 HP.

Was the A6 a typo?

SScattergunSS · 01-02-2010, 02:07 PM

You need to get those keys and go for a spin!!!

Darth_Emma · 01-02-2010, 02:08 PM

I don't plan on letting my husband drive my Camaro home when I get it. I don't want him to take my car!

jonnyb · 01-02-2010, 02:12 PM

LMAO lost my wife and now I'm gaining a Camaro! Good trade I think. My ex would have never agreed to buy a new Camaro.

So, I'm really, really confused.....

Did you get the stick or the automatic?

BTW, the auto has 396 hp, the stick has 426.

So, now that we're all really, really confused, which one did you get?
