wow really? What a man thing to say. Believe it or not there are alot of women who are all about motors, cars, motorcycles, etc.

My two favorite things in the world just happen to be the growl of a v8 and football any day of the week. Thank you very much.

My boyfriend is sick of hearing about it and thinks it's stupid to spend so much money on a car. Good thing it's my money and I do what I want!

the girlfriend is quite supportive as she knows i have been waiting for this camaro for years. she even asked if i wanted her to help with the downpayment. lol I think she wants to own a part of it

My wife loves me and wants me to own/drive whatever makes me happy (within a reasonable financial amount). She has a 350Z, I have a show truck Dakota R/T which I'm selling to get the Camaro, and we have a Jeep Liberty as my daily driver (haul the dogs around in). She's sad for me to see the truck go, but understands that I'm ready to shift gears (both literally and figuratively).

I make 2 1/2 times she does. I bought her a car when hers crapped out. She gave me a hassle buying a 60k truck. And shakes her head when I drop big coin on my 80z. But I wear the pants and I pay the bills lol.

My wife is paying for 1/2 [cash] of it knowing that she probably won't even drive it. I think I'll keep her [wife AND car]

I just asked her and she replied; " Better the Camaro than another Woman"

My better half (WIFE in 81 days) actually pushed me to pre-order the Camaro. She says she wants me to have what I want. Of course now we'll be looking into a convertible for her as soon as her car is paid off, since the G35's absorbing most of the Camaro's cost.

Drive it in the evening for a little while. After you finish making dinner and dishes are done.

You made one excellent decision with the camaro committment. Now keep batting 1000 and think about that other decision.
