Lame,

Sorry I get a new car every 2 years, but it's a company car so that doesn't count but they do charge me a few bucks twice a month so it's not free. Wife's car is payed for and it only has 50K on it so it will be with us for a looooog time to come! We bought it used two years old for almost 50% less then a new at the time, my wife always wants to buy new, but when she saw how much a new Commander was compared to one with 18k on and they looked almost the same she was good to go.

Oh and Lame

Definitely on the DD's. I usually get the Mrs a new one every 2-3 years. Keeps her happy and off my back when I spend money on my toys. My DD is a 2006 Honda Civic Si and it won't be changing anytime soon, lol!

Sell the Camaro? It is already loud, tempermemtal, and less than ideal, not to mention impractical, for regular use. Why would I want to sell it? The Mustang on the other hand, that I might need to sell before I make it just like the Camaro.

Carb leak that ignited and somehow was fed oil, should know more tonight.
Definitely some burnt wires too!

She's not mad but it sure isn't helping matters with her two plus year desire to get a new car.

My daily driver is a 2005 Mazda Tribute worth about 6K. I have 17 times that amount into the camaro.

I don't plan on buying another daily driver until this one completely dies.

Daily for sure for now. 2011 cts-v (upgrade from our 2012 boss 302) and a 2010 very modified SS Camaro. Only one that isn't is the TBSS.
