My wife and I went out for a nice dinner the other night. We dropped off our 2 year old at the grandparents house, and the first thing my wife says when getting back in the car is: " Ok -let's not talk about the kids or the Camaro tonight."

LOL

Ain't that the truth, my wife is so sick and tired of hearing about the car. It's sad really, cause now she gives the same "Yes dear" that I always GIVE HER! Maybe she'll learn that I don't really care about the story of what happened at the nail salon......NOT!!!!!!!!!

The wife wont even agree to ride in it yet. We were at the dealer, and she refused to sit in the passenger seat!

My wife (in 45 days!) is actually the one who talked me into pre-ordering the Camaro.

The wife really wanted me to get the SRT-8 Charger, but after comparing a lot of specs on them both, she was sold on the Camaro. I think the 5+grand cheaper was enticing also.

Welcome to our world, LOL!!!

Same here, she can, but not alone right now so were are thinking auto. The Corvette is stick and she is fine at driving it but scared. I want her to be comfortable driving whenever/whereever so we may go auto.

Other than that she is takingit very well. She gets to pick everything. I think she did very well... 2SS/RS CGM, black interior, sunroof, black racing stripes...

Just waiting to order now.

Chevyrocker · 04-29-2009, 12:05 PM

My wife absolutely loves the car. She says she can't wait to drive it.

avol2 · 04-29-2009, 12:14 PM

Hey I am a married woman.. and its the same in my house, except reversed...
everyone is tried of hearing about it.... LOL..
now its the daily updates on her location....
YES my Camaro, but I might just let my old man drive her on occasion..
oh but he was just sent overseas for WORK.. looks like he is going to miss her delivery and the first miles......

Sucks for him....

I told him I would pick him up at the airport (since he has two small suitcases)
and maybe I will let him driver her home...

I have been wanting this car since transformers.. and the whole family has dealt with me and "THAT car" for years.. I told them after we saw the movie that I would be getting one whenever it was released (they all told me I was full of it)... Its been a long wait... and I am waiting... So much happening in our lives right now.. ESPECIALLY thankful that our daughter that is graduating this year has earned an appointment to the US Coast Guard Academy.. SO I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR HER COLLEGE!!

Funny thing is, my kids are demanding I take them to school next week and pick them up !?!? (my daughter is a senior and has her own car).. I guess my excitement finally has gotten to them.. My son (he is in 8th grade) demands to be the first passenger.. LOL
