Too Old for the 2010 Camaro? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Go for it! I am 67 years old and ordered a 2SS, RS, 6M in RJT and polished wheels. Just got word yesterday that my car has been built, Vin # 106861, so expect to be cruising around town soon. It is doing things like this that keep us young!

If your heart tells you you gotta have it, then get it. Life is to be enjoyed and it should be enjoyed at any age.

I am 62. Occasionally people see me with a hot rod car, Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes and they used to say "you are having a mid life crisis!"

I would respond - I must have had a mid life crisis starting when I was 18, because I have had a hot rod car since I was 18 - hope to always have one!

My advice - you only live once!

All opinions welcomed.

I love it! Go for it - you'll be the envy of every middle age guy such as myself who will just wish I wil still have the taste and abilities that you do at 71.

Absolutely, 100% you should get this car. Passion is what it is all about regardless of age. Go get that BADBOY!!!!

When I was in my early 20's I lived across the street from a 75 year old who bought and drove a brand new 84 Camaro Berlinetta. Do it....................!

Hey, we all have to grow old.

But none of us have to grow up.

I remember when my grandfather was 72, he bought a bright red Volkswagen Baja Beetle. Had the white rally wheels, and a stinger exhaust off that old air cooled motor. Loud stripes down the door. Hand crank sunroof. He passed in 1993, but because of that (and many other lessons he gave me) he's still my idol to this day! And I'll drive cars like the camaro til I pass.

Nope, you're not too old.
