How did you inform your spouse that you were buying a Camaro?

[Skyblu]

I am like the other poster who saw it at a concept car show in 2006 and said one day I will have one. I went to epcot here in Florida in May 2009 and they had a aqua blue on display and I HAD to have it. Went home and told my husband about it, he said go for it! I ordered my aqua blue on memeorial day!

Hey Honey, I sold the old Camaro. Time to buy the new one.

The swelling in my right eye is finally going down and the doctor say I should be able to play the guitar again after the cast comes off. :0)

I've been pestering her about for well over a year, the then repo list came out at work and I saw it on there. Short story was the deal was just too sweet to pass up and for what I could have hoped to sell my 68 for on the high end and put a downstroke on a new one, I was able to keep the 68 and by a slightly used 2010 (Oct. of this year mind you) with only 5300 miles on it for $25k.

Suffice to say, I didnt ask. I told her (hence the black eye and the busted arm. )

As soon as I saw heard about them coming back I knew I had to have one. But, being 18 at the time, living in my parents place and saving for a house it didnt seem realistic. So, I drooled over them for a long time, I even bought a hot wheel one saying "well I'll never be able to afford a real one, so I might as well get this!"

Fast forward a couple years to this spring. I was driving home from working up north and my truck broke down (wheel bearing destroyed itself in my 96 Ram). I got it fixed enough to make the last half of the trip home and immediately started shopping for something reliable as I had $15000 saved up at the time. I went to Honda, Mazda and realized that a base model is $16000, but if you want any options, or a bit of performance it'll be $25000. So I called up a broker my dad got my mom's truck from and he said that he just happened to have a Camaro go through his lot and he would track it down.

I told the girlfriend I was gonna go look at a car and I would be back at the end of the day, came back with a 2010 SIM 1LT with a bunch of mods on it for $25000. Beats the hell out of a 2011 Mazda 3 GT for the same price!!

She knew I had been saving for a while and really wanted one so she was actually not surprised when I got home. Before I left I told my roommate I would be coming home with a Mazda 3 and he said "bullshit man! you could get a ****ing Camaro for that price!!"

That's an interesting way to find one. But you sure found a good one! Looks great! And I'm glad you didn't have to get rid of your '68.

I had a co-worker that had the forst GM Camaro poster for the 09 on his wall at work, I thought it looked ok, not as nice as a challanger and that was that.............until I saw the camaro in person, holy smoke shes beautiful.
I had shopped carlisle durint the 80's looking for a 67-69, never found one to my liking or budget, bought ss396 el camino and a 70 ss chevelle instead so I saw this as finally my opportunity to own one.

I went to the dealership and bought it............called her and said make room in driveway

Told her I am getting a camaro. She always said Why? They are ugly and can you buy a different car. So, 2 months roll by waiting for the camaro I ordered to come in. I have not told anyone I ordered one, not even her. The day comes where I pick it up and she fell in love with it. Funny how seeing it in person changes the feelings towards it.

[IROCanSS]

We came to the decision together, because that's how it works in a good relationship. And she picked the colors.

[GMteSSted]

Pretty simple:
She came home, saw the Camaro.
She asked who's car? I told her "ours".
She laughed, and said,
does it have a bed in it?

She was tired of hearing me bitch about BMW service every time I took my previous car in and she knew I was very unhappy about the "mandatory update" to reduce performance that they put on it during the 3 days it took them to replace my radio last month. Saturday she came home from the grocery store and said "I parked next to a Camaro convertible and it looked great. Why don't you go look at one of those?" Monday the BMW 135 was gone and I have the Camaro. It's what I really wanted when I bought the 135, but the convertibles weren't out when I bought it last year and I needed to buy a car right then.

I was lucky to find this wife (not so much with the first one).

Well my story is not nearly as exciting... My spouse wasn't my spouse just yet but I told her I a new Camaro! She says to me "But your Mustang is just fine and just about paid off." So I tell her, "It's just not the same." Two different dealers, 5 months to wait for the build (back when the order's were backed up, or so I was told.) later, and one Mustang less. I had my car. 2010 2LT RS. Now I get the stink eye when I mention upgrading to an SS (after having our new baby. Priorities man!)

I'm always looking for some type of car, usually used for a good deal. Wife likes cars also, never been a problem buying one. I had been looking at the Challengers and Camaros, but I had GM card $ so I was leaning towards a new Camaro. She always goes along when I finally find something I like and I'm ready to buy. I usually talk about it so much before I finally buy, she ends up saying buy it already I'm tired of hearing about. We usually agree on color and options, except this time she wanted the auto and I wanted the stick. She finally said just get the stick, I won't be driving it that much anyway. She does drive a stick very well.

She came home from work and it was in the garage.
