Another thread about people predicting the future valve of Camaro's, who only have 1 car and have to drive it everyday. They think because they have to drive there car everyday, everyone else should also, because everyone situations are the same as theres.

My DD gets driven 10 miles a week, more if I go to places over the weekend during winter.

My Camaro doesn't get driven to work due to sitting outside all week in a dirty/dusty environment and people at work have no respect for others' cars.

Oh come on just drive it. A 4 year old Camaro with 7,000 miles. 25,000 is low milage for a 2010. Most cars that age have up to 50,000. I highly doubt that the extra couple thousand will be worth not driving her. The car Im talking about!! Its not a Ferrari where you got to dish out $9,000 in maintnence every 30,000 miles and if you have over 30,000 on a 3 year old car the value doesnt drop from $210k-$170k!!!

As for the sex with the girlfriend thing a couple of posts ago, there both worth it!! Lol

Driving my camaro is a type of sickness that you cant resist, like having sex with my girlfriend, lol. Ok no more sex jokes, seriously...

Man I thought I was driving mine a lot. Had mine sine 30AUG13 and just passed 10k yesterday. I simply can not drive it enough. It is hands down the most fun car I have ever owned.

I don't plan to sell this car for many years (if ever) so keeping the miles low or resale value high doesn't matter to me.

I couldn't agree with this more!!!!

Unless you are keeping it long term, no reason not to drive it. And by long term, I mean 20/30+ years. Most all of us won't be keeping these cars long enough to really matter. Might as well enjoy it.

Let the next owner worry about it!

angryv6 · 03-25-2014, 08:36 PM

I got 3 cars and still drive mine everyday by choice not because I have to , because I love to

Bonemaro · 03-26-2014, 01:46 AM

No guilt here. I drive the hell out of it. Long trips from Michigan to Virginia etc. = 74K nearing 5 years of ownership and i don't regret one mile

blk13SS · 03-26-2014, 05:38 AM

I drive the s*** out of mine lol. Cars are meant to be driven, and some to be driven hard.

But that means your not driving the other 2 at all. That's why I said everybody has different reasons for how and what they drive. Most that drive theirs everyday in good and bad weather have too and think the rest of us should also. I don't see many threads from us low mileage guys saying everyone who drives theirs everyday are stupid. I have 10 vehicles and plan on keeping the Camaro forever at this time, but I know things change. I like all my vehicles, so if I drive a different car everyday, I still would only drive each one, 3 times a month. It's a burden I have to live with.LOL

Here's the flip side. Imagine yourself selling your Camaro and buying a new Ford Fiesta. Does that make you feel any better or worse?

Go to her, man. She's waiting to ride.
