me I guess.

I guess I'm one of those people- I detail every inch of my car as much as I can. I actually love doing it, so I guess this reply belongs in another thread lol. But I can say there isn't anything I truly hate about my car, just minor quibbles that have been said before here.

The one thing I truly love however, is that she is all mine...

I feel the same way. If I need therapy from the day, you can usually find me in the garage detailing Roxy. Here lately I have been dealing with pneumonia and the heat gets to me (100+ here) so I am remiss in my duties to her.

That's pretty much it. Both of my Camaros do exactly what I intend for them to do.
One other thing: I hate how much rock chipping that these cars have the potential of collecting.

I got past that. Just moved to South West Florida from Ct. The downside is that I see a dozen Camaros a day down here along with tons of exotics. The Camaro is not quite as special as it is up North. Perfect weather and big bucks down here in Sarasota.

Actually, my biggest complaint is the door window height.
Going to an ATM in the car requires opening the doors.

After 1.5 years of ownership, my only complaints are
1. I spend all my money modding it (A love and hate, I just can't stop)
2. The blindspots
3. The useless cupholder (if you drive a manual)
4. you can't raise or lower the passenger seat

besides those 4 things, it is amazing and I can't wait to take Shelly to college

Everyone driving an M6 complaining about the cup holder. (Especially if you have a short shifter) Try drinking a 12 oz Gatorade, leaving the lid on and leave it in the cup holder, of course.

It’s the perfect height to rest your hand comfortably between shifts and when preparing to shift....when you’re shifting leisurely. Perhaps even when you’re done quick shifting or preparing to. Especially those who don’t like resting their hands on the knob.

Hey it works. 🤪

LOL, I named my 2015 Z 28 Daisy! I love that car!

Cool car I like the spoiler. Do you think your MPG suffers because of it? I think mine losses 1 to 1.5 MPG with the wicker bill at the highest setting. Sorry i got off track!
Visibility is the main thing. But hey if your behind me your losing!

What are some things that you dislike or are pet peves about your Camaro?

While I haven’t had my SS for long time yet, there are some things that I don’t like.

1. The way that I have my seat and steering wheel positioned for my style of driving, the speedo and tach are blocked by either my arm/hand or the steering wheel itself. So I shift by sound, and rely on the digital readout for speed.
How about people that start threads about what they dislike about their car?

I DO THIS!

I’ll be drinking a 16oz Rockstar or something, and I always make sure the drink is in the cup holder closest to the shift.

It makes shifting much more comfortable. With the drink, slightly raising my arm enough to prepare to make the shift.
