WHY!!!!??

I see so many people posting on how they rarely drive their camaro and I'm just wondering ..

1.) how can you go so long not driving it?

2.) what's the reason?

3.) doesn't bother you when you see another camaro driving by and you're not!?

Me too, BUT being a long time member here, I finally came to realize that a lot of folks here are REAL car enthusiasts, and appreciate a BEAUTIFUL car, and have the means to purchase it and NOT drive it if they so wish... Wish I could!

1. not that long, just during the week

2. don't want to park it at work to get the doors dinged or vandalized, I'm on a quest to get my beater car over 200k (at 196), save 50% on gas, dirty when I get off work and wouldn't want to hop in brand new car, not the best of cars for commuting.

3. no, didn't buy it to impress others, and I know I can take it out whenever I want.

mine rarely gets driven. garage queen for sure! i am busy with work and school most of the time, so my other two vehicles get driven more.

I drive it all summer

Mine is my daily driver. I'd like to have something else to drive during bad weather though.

I just get tried of beating all the women away, (dam women) driving a chick magnet has its drawbacks. LOL

I bought this car with the intention that it was going to be a daily driver. Since I got it 18 months ago, it's been anything but a daily driver.

I bought a Jeep Wrangler about 3 weeks after I bought the Camaro. Why? I don't know, I wanted one. But I drove it all through the wet/rainy/slush season here in the Northwest while the Camaro sat parked. Never once felt bad about driving it after they laid sand down on the roads, or that it sometimes goes without being washed for 3 weeks or more. The Wrangler is just a more versatile and drivable car for me.

The Camaro just rolled 5500 miles the other day. Now that summer is finally starting to show, it will get driven more. I don't have plans to get rid of the Jeep anytime soon, so this state of "light driving" will continue for a bit.

I put 12k on mine in a year. It's a daily driver...but I haven't driven it in the past 2 weeks because I'm getting back into riding. I put riding on a haitus after I got the Camaro...now I'm going back.

This!

I don't "need" to drive it. So when I'm going to work why let My Camaro bake in the sun for eight hours? I'll leave it in the garage.

If I'm driving to the grocery store to pick up some duct tape and condoms why take the chance of getting a door ding? Ill leave it in the garage.

I have 6 vehicles and 4 of them are high performance

2.) what's the reason?

Can drive my Camaro whenever I choose and I choose not to put my daily 85 mile commute miles on it

3.) doesn't bother you when you see another camaro driving by and you're not!?

Why would it bother me, I have one to drive when I get the itch

WHY NOT !!!

1. Usually once every couple of weeks.
2. I have lost interest in my car and really prefer my truck over it.
3. Does not bother me any when I see another Camaro.
