You may hate this thread, but I'm starting to HATE my Camaro!
Hey all,
You may hate this thread, but I'm starting to HATE my Camaro! Yes of course its a nice car and fun to drive etc, but I'm starting to hate driving it. Why? The incredible, huge, ugly, disasterous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and our incredible dependancy to oil.  Oil has killed tens of thousands of poeple over the years (rigs, war, pollution) and destroyed countless animals, birds and fish. It's expensive, it pollutes, its ineffecient, and the US declares BS wars to get it while companies like BP make billions selling it to a nation addicted to it. I''ve owned 10 Trans Ams and now a Camaro, and I have to tell you I'm feeling pretty GD guilty. GM was on the right track when they came out with the first electric car (the EV1) 10 years ago and thought the car must have sucked since they stopped building it, but then I saw this movie http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com/ and it changed my mind. Sorry Camaro fans, but I'm just not excited about my purchase anymore. I was just looking at http://www.slpcamaro.com and read their super-charger package for $20,000. And for what? To ge a lousy 125 or so extra Horsepower? To burn more gas and oil? WTF!!! Electric can do the job much better, for much less, and without stinking up the planet. The world is going insane and I unfortunately have contributed to it. I am really hoping that Electric cars finally make their way onto the market soon. I know the Nissan Leaf is around the corner and we can now order cars from Tesla, but we need more - alot more - to break away from the stranglehold that is big oil. I bought a $40k+ Camaro, and I regret my purchase. |

Loves All Muscle Cars

Wow. I sorta understand where you are coming from, but a muscle car fan is a muscle car fan for life, we don't get into the "eco-cars." Or at least I don't.
Well, sorry to hear this, maybe if it turns to you selling it the next owner will be happier. And same for me too. ^^ |

Batteries with limited life spans filling up the landfills and coal pollution is a much better alternative to oil. How many people dump their car engines in landfills?

I too understand and respect where you are coming from, but your car us just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. Do you know just how big your carbon footprint is.. from just your house alone?! I can't see you going to live in an adobe or mud house. I know that every little bit helps, which is probably where your coming from.
Just sayin.
