Since I drive a Camaro, people assume.....

[Johng57]

How about: "Why that? - Couldn't afford a vette?" or "What were you thinking?"
But in all honestly - the complements far outweigh the negatives by 90%

Nice visual!

As for "lost" youth... I never stopped living my youth. I refuse to act/be 'old' until I need assistance using the bathroom.
Even then I'll probably juse hire a cute nurse and continue thinking I'm sexy.
I MIGHT even let her drive me around in my Camaro.

people assume i have a radar dectector and i will slow down when it goes off. (i do though)

People assume I'm having a mid life crisis. I tell them I started my mid life crisis when I was 21 and bought my first Camaro (1979 Z-28). I'm now on my 7th Camaro. One Trans Am and one GTO snuck into the mix.

Always asked if its the ss. Might as well say yeah they have no idea wat they're talkin about. They probably don't even kno wat the question means. Considering I have a lt with a muffler delete and people still ask!

I learned early from that car about hard work and how to get by on less.
All my life since then has been one used car, truck, or van after another. Being careful never to live out of my means like so many do. Well after thirty plus years of working, I decided along with my wife that we deserve something nice for a change. After all, we earned it! It was a team effort. We got our dream car, and never looked back.
Now I get irritated when people treat us with that kind of cold derision. And why is it always so fashionable to hate people because they are perceived to have more money? Maybe they earned it the hard way! It's not for any of us to judge. We got our Camaro for US. It makes us happy and we enjoy the hell out of it! We didn't get it to impress anybody. Life is too short for that!

That's how it always is. The 99% types will always group anyone that they deem well off into the 1% even when you broke your back to earn your Camaro.

lol. I have the opposite.. Mine must be a V6 since they don't make the Synergy green in a V8.

Also, when I first got it, my boss asked if the company was paying me too much? uh, no... I just don't have as much other debt, thank you very much.

Well one out of 12 isn't too bad. I love it when young women stare as I pull into a parking lot and then get a disappointed look on their face when they see my sorry old ass get out of the car!

Usually its mid-life crisis or I am rich.
The rich one I don't get. Having a $30K car makes you rich?
Especially when it come from guys who drive lexus, Beemers and Benzs.

I got this one yesterday:

"You apparently don't care about the environment since you bought a V8 instead of a V6".
This came from a guy driving a Honda Insight. I politely smiled and told him to go hug a tree for me...

You should have told him that actually a V8 Camaro IS economical.
Unlike his Honda the Camaro can haul ass without having to make two trips.
