It is true that family comes first and if it means having a financial strain in order to keep the Camaro then by all means go for it, you can always buy another one later down the line. Otherwise don't do it, try to see if you can find a nice used SUV or something for your family, that can get you by until the kids grow up.

Why would you buy that ugly Buick?

If you MUST trade it, get something like an equinox and if you MUST have sown thing larger look into the Acadia or traverse. Much better looking that that Buick.

Hey, at least you had the opportunity to enjoy one while still young. Enjoy the kids - fast forward and look forward the 6, 7 or 8 Gen!!!!!

I can't wait, I'm sure by then there will be 4 cylinder electric engines. My hearts throbbing from excitement.

Exactly what my wife and I have.

2008 Tahoe LTZ 5.3L.

2013 Camaro ZL1.

Our 14mo old fits fine in the back-seat and my long-legged wife has plenty of leg room in the ZL1.

Just fair warning, treat the Tahoe as a 4-seat SUV, because that 3rd row seating is useless if you have a stroller, we took ours out.

To each is own I guess. Sorry about your luck.

Yupper. An old friend sold his near-new 1980 Rally Sport "to get married"

Does she really love you? If so, she'll let you keep the car. No, she'll insist you keep the car!!! Got kids? You'll find a way!

Now 30 years later, I'm the one with the nice Camaro. I got married too, but told my fiancee there's no way I would give up any of my vehicles - love me, love my cars. We'll be married 10 years this Oct. and yes, will be going on our second honeymoon

in our Camaro!!

But, everyone has their situation. Sorry if you can't keep your car!

I just traded off my '12 Mustang GT premium on a black Challenger Rallye Redline. A little 'bigger' ride, a few more niceties over the Mustang... and frankly, I was getting tired of shifting gears. Wasn't impressed enough with the HEMI to give up the creature comforts of the loaded V6 to pay for it. It's been almost 10 hours now and I don't regret it yet. I did toss and turn a couple nights worrying about it.
