I'm inclined to agree with you on this one. a quick (and really nerdy) calculation of 1,139 2002 model year camaros for sale on cars.com gave an average mileage around 97,000. That doesn't sound like they were sitting in the garage since 2002. Only 22% had less than 50,000 miles and less than 2% had less than 10,000.

I know some people shriek when they see/hear of someone driving their new Camaro on salt covered roads and in the snow, but it's common around here.
