i actually traded in my camaro to buy my wife a car. we needed a family car. i already have two trucks and we are thinking about having another child. just for the record, i did make a deal and will be getting either a z06, zl1, or gt500 in the next 3 years...

sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.......and as the saying goes "If Momma ain't happy, NOBODY's happy" does apply.

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee, first year it was offered, 1992, titled 93, and kept it until 2000, put 198k miles on it, loved that rig.

I was leaving GM customer service and wanted to use the employee discount and you could couple it with GM Card back then, not anymore, but anyways, traded it in for a 2000 Olds Alero coupe. Drove it for 14 months and sold it for $800 more than I paid for it. It had a V6 with 170hp and I thought it was fast...

Why not just trade in the new baby? Just kidding but never let the child forget the things we give up because we love them especially when the become teenagers and on your last nerve.

Oh they don't have to become teenagers to get on your last nerve as I well know

Just wondering couldn't you have gotten a Tahoe

slow one · 09-03-2012, 03:22 PM

the tahoe was my first choice, but she wanted something smaller and for a brand new jeep gc, im paying 50 bucks less a month than the camaro. i wouldve had to buy the tahoe used. and this v6 is really nice. i was impressed to say the least.

I gave up my 92 Camaro RS for something practical when my son was born in 97. Now he's 14 and claims that my 2010 SS is his. Giving up 2 Camaros for him???...

oldfriend · 09-03-2012, 03:45 PM

I though that you made a deal with the dealer , for the JEEP , and with your wife for the new kid , now , which one you made the deal for the future car ?

slow one · 09-03-2012, 04:01 PM

vehicles are kinda my thing.. my third vehicle right now is a 87 chevy 4x4.. so, i told my wife, in about 3-4 years, its gonna be time to get the car i want. then ill get rid of my 4x4 and get one of those 3 cars. i just gotta decide then if i want a back seat or not. i want something special. like a zl1 or boss or gt500 or zo6. and i want something that i can keep stock and not have to add mods to make it fast(er).

oldfriend · 09-03-2012, 04:05 PM

Sounds like a plan to me , but i would have to add the 2015/6 Camaro , what do you have to say ?

slow one · 09-03-2012, 04:22 PM

it would be kinda the same as my 2011... its great, but a few years down the road, they will be just another camaro. when i bought my camaro, it felt like a fast car that was special. now, its just an ss that runs low 13s. i know there will always be a faster car, but if i get a car that runs high 11s or low 12s and is a special edition, i think ill hold on to that car for a long, long time...
