70,000 mile check in. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

And less than 200 miles before I hit the 70,000 mile mark, my first part failure. The DIC informed me to check the left rear lamp. I have a light out.
Could not be any more satisfied than I am already with the Camaro.

WOW dude do you ever put it in Park??? LOL...awesome

Daily driver. That is why I bought the V6, more MPGs. My avg. speed is 49.7 so it is safe to say that it is on the freeway most of the time. Avg. MPG is 27.8.

Geez I thought my 14000 was bad!!

Ronn · 05-07-2011, 10:26 AM

You are my hero! I am at 25K in 14 months. Bought it to drive. Not gonna save it for the next person.

70k, very good to know!

I've never put that many miles on any automobile I've owned... but I plan on owning this one until either it, or I... pass away! (sounds like it might outlast me)

paultheman2007 · 05-07-2011, 10:56 AM

I told my son if he stays on the honor roll, the Camaro is his in three more years.
My youngest son replied " What about me?" Well more like yelled than replied. Told him to not wreck it or sell it unless it is back to me!
He has my ADD and last year was struggling in school even with an I.Q. of 123. The Camaro has helped him to focus and he has been on the honor roll and is taking two advance math classes next year.
