What vehicle did you trade in to get your Camaro?

I traded a 2007 John Cooper Works edition Mini Cooper for my 45th anniversary edition convertible. I miss the gas mileage and handling of the Mini, but for sheer enjoyment the Camaro wins hands down.

BTW, thank you for all of the information on this site.

Can't find a picture of my old car, but it looked exactly like this with different wheels (2001 Hyundai Tiburon):



My Camaro is definitely a HUGE step up

2010 3rd Gen Prius.....it was the S**T! haha.

Don't have a picture of it but it had a solar power moon roof w/ remote control air conditioning, navigation, rear backup camera, and I could get 55mpg if I drove like an "ol' lady".

I started to trade my 98 firebird in on my camaro but the dealer took too long on the financing and let me think about the bs 1000 they were offering me for it so when they called and told me the deal was on I said no cuz I was pulling my car out of the trade and they ended up losing the sale cuz I bought my camaro elsewhere without my firebird in the deal. I later sold it for 2650, over 2.5 times what they were offering me, after having it on craiglist for days. If only they had tried to romance me a little while they were trying to screw me then we might have had a deal, I mean at least kiss me and tell me you love me!

When I had it, I was about fed up with the complete lack of highway power, leaking top (to the point of there being standing water inside after a rain), horrible axle hop over bumps, painfully stiff seats, and tiny gas tank (compared to its low mpg). But now that its gone, I do miss its capability.









I still can not forget, however, that I traded this in for that jeep, and missed this FAR worse than I miss the jeep. In fact, I still miss that 4th gen. So many good memories....










:(
