I bought mine at 43 or should say ours. I've got my old faithful 07 Silverado with 180k on it, I plan on running it until the wheels fall off. Wife had a Mazda 3, it got great fuel mileage but that's all I can say good about it. We wer out on Saturday and I went to the dealer to look for anything better than it, I've always liked the Camaro's but she threw me a curve and other than another Silverado it was the only thing we both agreed on and our daughter made the final decision. I love it what little I get to drive it just hope it last as long and has the good luck my truck has.

Hell no.

You're living your authentic life now.

No such thing, Camaros are for those who have the spirit to buy them.

HogsFan75 · 03-17-2016, 09:24 PM

Bought mine a few months after I turned 40. YOLO

I was 47 when I bought my 2SSRS, bought a Harley at 41.... I don't care what other people think. I could not afford these things when I was younger. I have a $72,000 truck on order, it will deliver on April 11th. It's your money, spend it how you want and be happy.

After college went straight to the military, joined the fire department right after and life was just passing me by. At 39 I decided it's time to do something for me and bought a brand new '14 1LT, a year later I wanted more HP so I bought my 1LE and loving every minute - I also went a little nuts and bought a BMW M235i and I still have my lifted truck. We all work hard and busted our hump for family, country or whatever. If having a camaro makes you happy and it gives you that little smile then that's all that matters. You earned it.
