Whever I get impatient (read gloomy) and start mentioning other cars my wife brings me right back to earth by reminding me how much I really want the Camaro, that I should be happy and that I deserve it. Can't argue against that logic.

I bribed my wife a while back with a X5, she's happy and how could she say no to the new camaro.

Try Having a pregnant wife who has to hear about the Camaro ALL the time.NOT FUN !!!!

SillyCamaro · 04-29-2009, 12:54 PM

My ex-GF of 3 years broke up with me in January citing my love for the 2010 Camaro and this web site as one of the problems, saying I'd never grow up and if I get this car I'd never want a family. My new GF (and her son, instant family, kinda ironic) love it and is saying she's calling in sick with me the day it comes in so that we can break it in properly!! ;-) I should call up the ex and thank her cause life couldn't get any better right now!

I feel like a kid in a candy shop, since this is my first real car I've ever ordered or customized. I'll be 26 in August, so I hope to have this car for many many many years.

:w ord:

:wor d:

Yea.... I haven't ordered, but my Wife is REALLY tired of hearing about it lol. With luck maybe along about December I can get serious. She gets to hear about it until then lol

I think maybe some of you guys should start a Camaro5 support group...

BigCee66 · 04-29-2009, 01:00 PM

No problems with my wife at all in fact she is always telling me 'get what you feel you deserve, you are a hard working man and its your money'.

And no disrespect but anyone that feels threatened by an inanimate object needs a hobby or some mental help!

catmaster1 · 04-29-2009, 01:22 PM

My wife doesn't care so much about my camaro. She wants her own!!! Hers will be an auto, and a vert though. So my camaro will have a cousin!!! And hers will be a 2011, since we wont get it until we get back from out deployment to kosovo.

-Hopefully mine gets in before we go to Kosovo.....
