Thumbs up Just bought my 4th Chevrolet in 2 Years

I've finally come to the realization the Camaro doesn't need to be my daily driver anymore. Not that I won't still drive it all the time... it just means I won't drive it everyday 5 min to the park n ride and then leave it in an out door lot with lots of trees. Just got tired of washing every 2 or 3 days. The H-Town CC also has something going on EVERY weekend so cleaning up for these events was always tough at the end of a work week.

Also, after the last round of mods... it's doubled in decibles so the 530AM start-ups are crazy loud...

This truck was originally going to be a Pace Car convertable (had dibs on one), but I have no more garage space and it still meat the 2010 would have to go to the park n ride... I guess I came to my senses and went practical. ...

It sure was easy to go shopping and not have to look at any other brands... And now I have something to haul drag radials around in too..

Congrats! Would you sometimes bring your car to downtown and park it near the HPD building? I've seen a pace car like yours there many times as i would wait at the signal light. I think it was yours.

If'n it were me, and it isn't, I wouldn't have picked just half of a truck.

But as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Enjoy it!

I totally read the title as "just bought my 4th CAMARO in 2 years"

I was like did I miss the 3rd???

Good move, I agree... cleaning can get so old! I never let mine get dirty so the cleaning is usually just a dust off... I wash it now and then... when it needs a coat of polish.

Already have my Son's full size truck in the drive way... This will probably be a trade in on a ZL1 in a year or so...

LOL... you got it... I don't let mine get dirty either and it's wearing me out... Also don't want it sitting out in the summer heat all day either...

YEAH... can you believe it...

LOL... it's in a very nice neighborhood and I park way in the back corner and jump on a Van Pool to downtown Houston. Have the same parking spot everyday. No worries about door dings or vandalism... just the damn trees and hot summers around here.

So my Pace Car Vert just wasn't doable...:(
