How is your better half dealing with your obsesion with the new camaro? - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Maybe I'm old fashoined; maybe I'm wrong; maybe I'm just a dick. I could care less about how my wife feels about my car purchase(s). When we got married 13 (oh my God) years ago, she was on car #3 in her life at 26; I was on car #12 in my life at 29. It's just something I do.

Now, since that time, she actually has got two more cars than I have because I had the 96 Z28 for so long just looking for something I liked to replace it. I settled at the time on an 04 GTO deal I just couldn't refuse. But that's off topic.

Again as to the question at hand- how is she dealing with the Camaro purchase? Ask me if I care.

I hope that your are actually talking about a dog and not your wife

stikSS · 03-15-2009, 11:45 AM

My wife thinks having this site, pictures on my cell phones and laptop, taking off work to go to car shows is over the top. Its just natural to me.

You go girl! For all you fellas, here's the reverse side of the coin. I know it's unbelievable!

My beau is sick of hearing about it, my brother who is ASC is sick of hearing about it. (Jealousy??

) I'm buying the car, with the LS3 and STICK. I'll own three vehicles none of which are auto. (None of which anyone but me paid for!)

I lead a normal life until I found Camaro5

Black/black 2SSRS, LS3, 6spd, Silver Rally. Production code 3000, priority at dealer #1, vanity plates ordered and sitting at courthouse waiting on the car for the past four months!!

Add me to the obsessed camaro family!

cam2fst4u · 03-15-2009, 12:30 PM

well I have not yet been able to make it to a car show to see one but I am planning on going to hendrick in durham to see the one that he bought and hopefully test drive one! I can't wait.

MY FIANCE IS MORE EXCITED THAN I AM!
I have had bad luck with camaro's... I fixed them up to look SHARRRRP! (two of them).
Then one was bombarded off f three semi's with me and my fiance in it and we made it out with minor injuries, in Jan 2007. So I purchased another camaro, unfortunately, the heads blew two weeks after i purchased, a month after the transmission went out, and then little by little it deteriorated... even though it looked beautiful chrome 18" ss rims black metallic paint job ttops ... BUT then the engine caught on fire Jan 2008!... and then i figured it was time.. for a NEW CAMARO (NEW: 2010); AND WE'RE BOTH THRILLED.. IM 22 she's 21 so we're going to be the youngest envied couple in my area! ! (im just going to be raising $5K, it makes my excitement a little less than hers even though she's putting in as well) She was so excited that when the Camaro envelope came in the mail she begged to open it!!! lmao

The wife hates it and thinks I'm having a midlife crissis at 48.
My response to her was YOU TOO CAN BE REPLACED.

My girlfriend is really pissed that I am ordered the Camaro. Not surprised, just pissed. I have owned 10 firebirds in the past and still own a 2002 T/A which looks great and runs well of course, which is why she is pissed.

"But, but honey.... I love this car!! They haven't been made since 2002! It feels good and I like to drive it and it makes me happy!".

"You sonofabitch you could be spending this money on other things (like me) or saving it for a rainy day or..."

"But, but honey... its... is an SS2! It has 20" wheels and a huge motor and it looks cool and sexy and its fun and it makes me happy!"

"You sonofabitch why didn't you ask me first?"

"Be...because honey! You would have said no, and I --"

"You sonofabitch! Why did - Oh.... A Camaro is the Bumblee car in Transformers?"

"Y... yes honey..."

"Oh...! When do we get it?"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
