OT: Pigg car folks – I need feedback

My recommendation is to get the Camaro with the V8 (2ss) if you can afford it. You only live once. It’s going to be a collectors item in 30 years guaranteed, just like the late 60s version. I love both cars. I owned a 70 Challenger RT as a teenager, but my dream car has always been the 69 Camaro.

Yeah. I’m not sure if I should be thanking you, now. You just had to go and post a photo of the convertible. A Camaro Z28 w/Corvette engine. Double my allotted budget and it’s not even going to be out until the end of next year.

So now not only do I have to wait for a house, I have to wait for a car.

I would NEVER get a black car. Made that mistake once when I was young and dumb when I had the Mustang. I don’t plan on washing and waxing every day and the only time a black car looks great is on the showroom floor. I was considering white w/red-orange stripes.

They tested the Camaro on Nurburgring. Great safety features on the car, those side air bags are impressive.

Now you guys are no help. You’re supposed to talk common sense into me 😉

Mx-5 Miata…. Fits right under your budget…

Come on. These things are blast..

I am not a car expert but I can write in as a Miata owner to endorse this opinion. I have been driving one since early 03 and I absolutely love it. So much fun to tool around this little thing with the top down (just took my gf on a road trip around Santa Ynez wine country; having a little convertible roadster makes such a trip much more enjoyable — but its a lot of fun to just drive around town too).

I’m not alone on this, all car magazines reviews I’ve read have been ridiculously positive (at least when I bought it — that’s one of the things that swayed me — but I’ve read reviews on newer models which have also gotten raves).

It’s obviously small and a 2 seater so it helps to have an SO with a more practical car for hauling stuff around, but that’s really the only downside imho.

FWIW I have the previous (2nd) generation, the new generation is even cooler from what I’ve heard.

Love the 69. Looks like it just came off the showroom floor.
