Overheard some guy say this to his friend at the gas station.. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2SS 2011 · 05-12-2012, 06:17 PM

As I walked by some random guy was pumping gas and says to his friend .. Wow man i want that car so bad.. The Camaro.. Like that one over there.. (mine)

His friend says yeah.. Why don't you get one..

He says.. "Because my wife won't let me"

LOL.. Wow.. I mean Sometimes it sucks to be a single guy but..If it means turning into a total wuss by getting married.. No thanks..

Are you serious with that comment?

I love my Camaro

Enjoy it..

it's not that he's a wuss. a camaro just isn't a practical car unless you can afford to have it as a weekend toy. women are just wise enough to realize it. men will buy it first, realize it's totally impractical, then have to sell it at a loss. it's the basis of this comercial

I know a few guys that have wives that make more than double what they earn.

Sounds like he married the wrong woman though

Not to rub it in, but I don't have that issue.

My wife wanted this car as much as I did.

Should have seen her after the test drive. Her eyes were wide open and she was giddy.

cplhester · 05-12-2012, 06:36 PM

Haha Scotty my wife was the same way after the test drive! Her eyes were real big and she said I WANT IT!!!

2SS 2011 · 05-12-2012, 06:37 PM

Now you guys have awesome wives!!!

I mean that with the utmost of respect too

Not really, Men just understand life is short and you live once. My Fiancee knows the car is not practical, but we also realize, we need to do the things we want to do... now! There is no guarantee you will live 80 years and get a nice toy when your 50. Buy a nice Camaro and buy a beater for DD. I've often meet and dated women who don't understand how to live! And I'm not talking about the shopaholics, they are just addicted

awfarley · 05-12-2012, 06:42 PM

My wife didn't want me to get one because she wanted one so bad. Her car was newer and my truck was in for an upgrade.

Being married chages your perspective on certain things, but that's why you gotta pick the right one. Oh, and that whole thing about "opposites attract" is complete

and only applies to magnets.

Ours is technically my wife's car.

She rides to and from work with me and my parents though, so it sits in the garage all week. Then any time we go anywhere on the weekends I drive because I hate riding in cars. So technically it's hers, but it works in my favor where I have my dream car in the garage all week and have my DD still.

not everyone can afford multiple cars. for families that can only afford 2, or maybe even 1..............the camaro just isn't an option.

That was my reasoning "you only live once". My wife finally gave in and I got one about a month ago. Did we need it no but it's a fun weekend car

Excaclty! I cringe Everytime I read a post where dudes say " if my wife says its ok" or " I'll have to run it by the boss" are these guys such morons that they would make a terrible Family decision if they didn't have someone watching out or them? I know what's best for my family as much as my wife does. Sad.

Thanks and I agree. I show her daily.

When the salesman asked if we wanted to take it home tonight, she said " Hell yeah! "
