Drive it it's yours to do as you please. Drive it and enjoy it, I drive mine every weekend since Feb, when I bought it and I have 10,000 miles on it already but it has been a very fun 10,000 miles.

Do what the car was built for drive it.

Mine is over 3 years old now, got it 6/19/2009, and now has over 104,500 miles on it. Yes, 104,500 miles. I have a long commute, but I love the car. It is wonderful and has held up very well.

So, DRIVE IT!!!

Bought mine and some would say she is a garage queen cause I rarely take her out, but when I do I drive for a good 2 to 6 hours, might not even go anywhere just drive. Now what I dont do is park her anywhere but in her garage. Oh yeah got it Jan 31 and have 6500 miles on it.

23,800 miles in 13 months. I drive it to work, picked up groceries last night, the drag strip next weekend and a car show the weekend after that. I hate that I'm starting to see the little signs of wear but the fact that it still makes me giggle out loud when I see it makes every mile worth it.

My response is always, "I bought it to drive it, not look at it."

My wife & I were on vacation & took a trip to see family members in Altoona. I am sure we saw you at an intersection close to lakemont park & HWY 99 & we waved at you & you waved back while you were making your L/H turn. We were in a 2012 victory red conv. I think we were coming from the Krusin hot rod car show at lakemont park. I have to date 13658 miles & we bought it in March 23rd of 2012. Did not see very many camaros in Altoona. I think I counted 3 Gen5's

Okay, I'm a little embarrassed about this... I put about 12k in under 10 months and it made me crazy. Also, I'm a musician and hate leaving her in rehearsal studio parking lots or in sketchy neighborhoods. So a couple of months ago I bought a beater car - a 2002 Explorer, which is better-suited for gigs and camping (my Camaro got stuck in the sand when I went camping - someone filmed it and I'm surprised it hasn't surfaced on YouTube under the title "Idiot takes Camaro on dirt road"). Funny thing is that I then ended up modding the SUV so it would at least have some of the comforts of my Camaro. Had a sensor installed to have the lights turn on automatically, installing a backup camera (have that and a Scosche kit on the Camaro), upgraded the stereo, put a RACING STRIP on the hood, even subscribed to Sirius internet radio so I can listen through my phone. So now I just drive the Camaro on weekends and special occassions. Ugh, I've lost my mind...
