Finally leaving the Camaro Nation

[Dom C]

You'll be back with a ZL1 or better.

Camaro to a Volt, good luck with that. Sure it will be really fun to drive.

You'll regret it and kick yourself as soon as you drive away.

DO NOT look in the rear view mirror!!!

BUT, if you can afford a VOLT, you can afford a Camaro too. Just get a 2LS like I got for my 2nd Camaro.

With a carpool sticker you can drive in the carpool lanes with only one person in the car AND free toll on bridges!!!

The free toll on bridges are gone now .

Is today April 1st?

5 hours of your life back per week sounds like a good reason to me. Too bad you can't keep the camaro too. I assume you can't figure out some kind of real 2+ car pool arrangement with anyone?

Where did you hear that you can get the car pool sticker?. My wife was told by different dealers that it did not qualify. She had been looking at the Volt. Sounds like we are getting mis-information.

I'm sure he's right about the sticker...a lot of older Prius's no longer qualify...only cars that you can charge (plug in), or full aternative fuels, hydrogen or natural gas, now qualify for the sticker. Double check with the DMV, dealers and salesman don't know crap.

On another note, I thought they re-called all the Volts and quit selling them for now??...dunno....good luck.

I think I'd buy a couple of inflatable love dolls and invest in some window tint.....it will appear you have 3 people in your Camaro as you zip through the HOV lane....problem solved.

If you do decide to go with the Volt good luck...It seems pretty cool.

Im sorry to hear this. THere are a couple Volts where i work...cooler than a prius, but ill leave it at that. Its not a bad looking car for wha tit is but I cant get past the price of it.

FOr me, simple math...I owned a 255hp car for 9 years, now I have 400, an increase of 58%, so I need a 628 hp car next. Yes, thats the plan, simple as that.

At Least a Volt is more attractive looking than a Prius.

All I ever see are prius's but I've only seen one SINGLE Volt ever on the highways.

Priuses tend to fly by me doing like 90mph also.

[PoorMansCamaro]

hell, if it's just a sticker, just rip one off a volt and put in on the camaro. problem solved!
