Anybody’s wife hate your camaro?

Am I the only one? My wife refuses to ride in my loaded SS LS3. She says it makes her nervous. She rode in it one time since September when I bought it. Didn’t go fast or anything; just says she hates it. Lol. She has her car she drives to work and we take my Silverado everywhere. Just seeing if I’m alone. Lol

She hates how I obsess over it. She wants to drive it, but refuses because I am overly protective of it and her co-workers park like dimwits and throw open their doors. Her Cruze looks like it's been in a waist high hail storm.

Sorry, although she doesn't like to drive them, my wife loves the looks and sound of muscle and sports cars, as well as riding in them. She is the one who told me to go out and buy mine; back in 2006, she is also the one who encouraged me to buy a new Corvette as my retirement gift from the Air Force.

I know my EX wife is going to go nuts when she eventually sees it. Does that count? ��. I wanted one pre-split but I saw the handwriting on the wall and figured I’d wait until dust settled.

My wife outright hates it. Like tonight, we are having a date night and Christmas shopping kid free for the first time in forever.. I asked if we could take the camaro tonight.. She said she’s not riding in it.. 2010 SS/RS loaded with every option. 23,000 miles and mint condition. Completely stock. And we take my Z71 everywhere. Lol. I don’t understand women sometimes.

My wife hates mine too. She says that it's uncomfortable and her neck starts to hurt if I accelerate a few times. I don't speed but I like to get up to the speed limit as quickly as the car will allow. I hate her Camry just as much as she hates my camaro. It's comfortable but extremely boring

Yup.

My GF is the sole reason I bought an automatic. I was originally shopping for an LS3 Camaro, but she told me if I got one that it had to be an auto so she could drive it too.

I bought my car in August of 2016, and to this day she still has not driven the car and absolutely hates riding in it. The main reason is that the passenger seat is so low that she can't even see over the dashboard and it makes her car-sick.

Whenever we go anywhere in the Camaro, she has to bring a giant pillow to sit on so she doesn't get motion sickness.

I tried telling her that the drivers seat sits much higher, but she still refuses. The car is 'too powerful and noisy' now for her to drive. But to be honest, I am fine with that.

Edit: I am fairly certain that at least a few of my neighbor's wives also hate my car. But I don't have to sleep with them....yet.

I think my wife likes it, at least she doesn't complain to much. She has never driven it and refuse to, which is OK with me. She has a 2017 RAV4 and that is the only vehicle we own that she will drive. I also have a 96 Impala SS that has just under 10k on the clock, high modified with the six speed and about 450 HP, she hates that car for sure. Did have duel turbos on her two years ago, pushed nearly 700HP, gave her a fair ride in it and that was that.
She does worry about the Camaro, don't park here, don't park there, you need to wash the girl!
