I've only put 6k on mine since I bought it with 42k a year and a half ago. I did supercharge it 2k miles in though lol. Needless to say, I never drive it.

I save it for nice weather when I can. If I get caught in a rainstorm I dont pull under an overpass and curl into the fetal position though. But if Accuweather says its gonna be pouring all day I avoid it.

Why not keep it pretty if I have a second vehicle and have the option to?

Agreed, that's why I have a cover. Keep it clean as much as possible but if it rains while its out, oh well. Just gives me an excuse to wash it and pretty it up some more. I did have to daily it for a few weeks and it was slightly annoying trying to keep it clean with all the pollen and junk. Glad I don't need to anymore though.

^^ Also I park on the street due to my parents leaving for work before me so we don't have to move cars around. But having a carport/garage helps a lot with those summer days

I park mine in a garage, but if I'm at school it has to set in a gated lot. But I drive it rain sleet or snow, wherever I go it goes. I have 119k miles on it so I drive it a bit.

I daily drive mine as it’s my only vehicle since I’m only 19. I hate to, but I have to park my car right outside of the garage since it’s used for storage and workout space. Hopefully, we’ll at least be getting an extension on the garage so no more tree debris falls on my car. The only plus side is that I get to wash it all the time.

Btw, I lost the giveaway for the throttle controller. I had a 40% chance of winning. I guess I gotta buy a VTC since it’s cheaper.

Let me live vicariously through you, how is a Camaro in the snow?

Hopefully you don't live on a busy or narrow street. The only place I would park mine on the street is at my buddies house but he lives on a dead end road.

I mean, you could try to save some money on car care products and water and get a cover. I got a cover craft one and haven't had an issue. They are a little expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.

And bummer about the throttle controller.

It's not busy. We live in a good neighborhood, so I never worry

I drive mine in everything and it varies between staying in the garage and sitting out. It's all I have so I don't really have a choice lol but I'm also of the mindset that it's a car and it's meant to be driven. 7 inches of snow on the road didn't stop me from getting to work on time, so I trust it to get me where I need to go

I’ve been thinking about putting some reflective blue pinstriping on my car. And before you guys freak out, it’s not going go be everywhere like the “tron” looking cars. I just wanted to add some color in some subtle ways. Do you think any morons are going to key my car at UGA because of the blue accents, considering everyone there seems to have red everything, or am I just being paranoid?

Paint your calipers blue. Less is more, in my opinion.
