I have been cheating on my girl with another.

Yes it is true I have been cheating on my girl with another of all a Mustang Gt.
Here is were my story begins, at the end of 2010 I bought a new Mustang GT premium and got a great deal on the car and I should also add I have not had a sports in car in 15 years but I have been riding sport bikes for a longtime. I was getting vary board with riding and the thought was sell my 2009 Yamaha R1 and buy a sports car so that I did. The day I picked up my new Mustang it was totaled 6 hours latter by some ASS HOLE on the interstate, hit me from behind and a tail spin I went into a wall and he was long gone. My attempt for a second Mustang from the same dealer did not go as planned so I said screw it, it was not meant to be so I bought a 2011 Tacoma TSS Sport model for like $25000. Great truck and when I say that truck held its value varry well, 6 months latter I have the Mustang itch and Im off looking for another and found a Grabber Blue Brembo model but the dealer would not work on the price of the car or my truck a and a friend of a friend put me into a new Camaro 2SS I have now oh ya I did not loose a anything on my trade. One year latter Im doing it all over again and the thing that gets why would I give up my 2SS with the RS package when the premium Mustang does not even come close to the 20" wheels, all 4 Brembos and heads up display. I guess the only thing that gets me I did not have that the Mustang long enough to find out weather or not it was a great car or I should have bought something else ?

I have this dilemma every day all day long. Why did I get the Camaro when I'm a Mustang guy?

Well, my story was as simple as I needed a lower payment and work for a GM dealer, so the Camaro was the only affordable sports car option. However, every day I drive it...it feels...weird. Like I should be back in a Mustang again.

In my opinion, your car AND the Mustang are both very good cars. But I'd be careful buying a new 5.0....lots of transmission issues though I know it's not on every single one. Of course, Camaro has it's problems too so it goes both ways.

In the end, nobody can really tell you what's right for YOU. So I say go with what makes you happy. Each car has a feel all its own. I'd test drive the Mustang if you haven't already..see which car feels like "coming home".

I've not gotten that feeling with my Camaro yet, though I do really like the car and it grabs all kinds of attention.

Best of luck!

Agree I get looks all day with all that Yellow screaming, the one thing I REALLY HATE is the stupid paint job, I even have chips at the back side of the hood by the windshield. I have had plenty of new cars and I don't do road trips in them and never had chips like I have now.

Sorry, but it seems to me like you just really don't know what you want. You're constantly buying new cars and trading them in. That's just throwing tons of money away.

The opposite of this actually what finally sold me on the Camaro. True, I was initially attracted to it for it's looks, and when I finally stopped to check one out (never even sat in one at this point) on the way home from work, the salesman and dealer must of sensed something because after letting me drive it around the parking lot and going in to talk numbers for the hell of it and the salesmen going back to find something out for me (don't remember) I took the keys back off the salesman's desk and walked back out to start the car and play around with it again. The sales or finance manager probably said to the salesmen (since all their office doors where right by the salesman's desk and where all open and could hear our chatting) they handed me a dealer tag and told me to take it home overnight to see how I really liked it.

Took it home, stopped at my co-workers house who was with me when I picked it up and took him around the mountain for a test drive and to talk about it and he said I looked so comfortable in it like I've been driving it for years. Definitely strange for me being comfortable in this car being a prior truck only owner and never caring much for driving cars. Later I picked up my uncle (he was in awe at the look of the solid black Camaro, heh) to go visit my grandfather in the nursing home and he said he's owned many low riding sports cars over the years and said he had never been in one that rode so smooth and sound, heh.

We took my grandfather outside (who very sadly just recently passed) and told him I had just got a new car and to try to guess which one it was in the parking lot. He pointed out the black Camaro... (he was also a hardcore Chevy guy - I didn't think he would guess to point out a Chevy since he knew I was a Ford only guy - but he raised me and knows my style and the Camaro was the sharpest looking car in the parking lot, lol)

Next morning I'm taking it back to the dealer and my co-worker was going to pick me up there on the way to the job site and I just didn't want to hand the car back, but did. Next day driving to work I was miserable driving my old truck and couldn't stop thinking about how much I liked driving the Camaro. Again, very odd for someone who was previously a truck only type of guy and never really feeling comfortable in a car and not even previously liking the Chevy brand.

I think I only went a full day and then mid-day after I just couldn't stop thinking about the car so I called the salesman back from work and told them the deal I wanted and if they could do it to go ahead and get the car and paperwork ready and that I would come down and sign the papers on my lunch break. I love driving the car so much that I initially didn't want to drive it to work on rain days and take my old truck out during bad weather, but I just can't stand the thought of driving my old truck anymore and have been driving the Camaro in the rain anyway, lol.

There's no doubt in my mind that I bought the right car for me. And yes, I've driven Mustangs before, my bosses is even 500+HP that beats stock GT500's and I hated driving it. For some oddball reason I like the form over function style and blind spots in the Camaro. Makes you feel like you're driving an exotic, heh. But the seats to me in the Camaro are sooo much more comfortable than my bosses GT. Seems to ride smoother and everything. No doubts, second guesses, or buyers remorse here.

I have not had a sports in car in 15 years, but I have been riding sport bikes for a long time. I was getting very board with riding bikes and the thought was to sell my 2009 Yamaha R1 and buy a sports car...so I did.

The day I picked up my new Mustang it was totaled 6 hours later by some ASS HOLE on the interstate. He hit me from behind, I went into a tail spin, hit a wall, and he was long gone.

My attempt for a second Mustang, from the same dealer, did not go as planned so I decided that it was not meant to be and I bought a 2011 Tacoma TSS Sport model for $25,000. It's a great truck and it held it's value very well.

Six months later I have the Mustang itch and I'm off looking for another one. I found a Grabber Blue Brembo model, but the dealer would not work on the price of the car, or my truck, and a friend put me into a new Camaro 2SS.

One year later I'm doing it all over again, and the thing that gets me is: Why would I give up my 2SS, with the RS package, when the premium Mustang does not even come close to the 20" wheels, with all 4 Brembos and heads up display?

I guess the only thing that gets me is that I did not have the Mustang long enough to find out weather or not it was a great car, or I should have bought something else?
Wow was that painful to read. I tried to edit it the best I could for the rest of you to actually read through, but I still don't quite get what this guy is trying to say. It's just random stuff he mentions here and there.
