Ever have one of those days where driving your Camaro feels real good!!!

Today was that day for me. It was finally sunny out somewhere around 65. I started my car and it was smoother than normal. I placed my auto in "m" and started the paddle shift. Man did the weed eater sound nice or what. Tinted windows had a reason (finally) to be tinted. Just a very very smooth exciting drive.

Any of you drive your car and notice it drive better on some days?

Then again maybe its just the sun on my back!!!

Feels good every time I drive. I think that feeling is even sweeter for the garage queen owner.

Beautiful day today in Puget Sound. I got to drive the 112 pretty aggressively on my way home from work.

Love those paddle shifters.

I most definitely have those days. Sometimes I start her up, and it is like a whole new car. I dont know why it is. I just figure my car has feelings too, and some days she is happier and more energetic. Makes me appreciate her more.

I have a high stress job and many times in the evenings I'll jump in the car, open the sunroof, turn the stereo up loud and just go for a cruise. It clears my mind and helps
me wind down,

I like how mine rides.

Blk-Ice · 04-24-2013, 07:25 AM

I don't get to drive mine that often based on my job..... But when I do it's like good sex!

RubyCamaro · 04-24-2013, 07:44 AM

I sort of miss driving mine daily to work. It was very therapeutic. But I don't miss putting those miles & paint chips on her. I do plan to drive her tomorrow if the weather clears like it is supposed to and I really look foward to it. And yes, some days it drives extra well, mostly when it is cooler. These cars LOVE cold air!

jessicamariella · 04-24-2013, 07:48 AM

I looooove driving my Camaro! Any excuse to drive it. I take my first road trip in a month to West Virginia. I will be loving those curvy mountain roads!

Any time I park him, I still turn around, grin and can't believe I finally own a Chevy again

Thunderhexed · 04-24-2013, 09:42 AM

This is exactly why I bought a Camaro- so I could enjoy cruising home from work, enjoy the sights of the city, the weather, and unwind as I head home. My 2011 Accord I was previously driving just wasn't cutting it and I knew I needed something with soul and presence... Then steps in my 2013 Camaro. I find myself literally watching the clock at work in anticipation of getting to drive it home. I've been down all week from surgery I had last week and I haven't been able to drive anywhere- I find myself going out to the garage just to stare and gawk at it. I too have noticed on certain days (especially warmer ones after she's just been washed) that the drive and ride are exceptionally smooth.

That is why they call it permigrin. 14000 miles and 12 months later still there for me in my little LS.

Maybe its because where I live. It is cold allot here, and my car wants sun. If it is 60 degrees the car feels better. Perhaps its the sun on me that feels better so that I place those feelings on the car.

Summer is the best time to drive a Camaro.

Enjoy it!!!

Looking @ your statistics no build thread about the LS. Need more pictures.

Your milage isnt to bad, I have less miles as I only drive the Camaro to and from work. Then on sunny weekend's.

Seems around here the sunny weekend only happens once a month... ugh....

My two year is May the 5th I have 15000 miles on it.

Enjoyment

SnowVert · 04-24-2013, 03:19 PM

I enjoy mine almost every time I take it out, but I do understand what you are saying. There are some days where all the variables are perfect and something about the experience touches your soul. I really enjoy the top down days, and I'm glad that it looks like we are finally putting winter behind us here in MN. We just had 8" of snow on Monday... Haven't seen temps hit 60 here yet (which is rare, we should have had at least 10 or so by now)... But they are saying over 70 on Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to try to have one of those perfect driving experiences this weekend. I'm pretty sure it will happen.
