So the other day I posted here about my Hubby renting me the 2010 Camaro!! Well I must first remind everyone that I am a truck lovin girl but this model of the Camaro is a "replica" of the late 60's model...Which just so happens to be my dream car!!Well Brown Eyed Cowgirls wanted to know how the modern version stacked up!! So lets review the car a bit...The model we had was the Coupe 2LT with a 304hp 3.6L V6, it was decked out inside! The way they designed the dash and gauges is to have the similar feel of the old cars, it's really cool!! The car has complete controls on the steering wheel meaning, radio, bluetooth, cruise, and even your shift up and down buttons if you so choose to drive in manual! The sound system in the car is "Boston Acoustics" and really sounds great! Of course the car was equipped with a sunroof as well.Interior...Love, love, love it!!!
Driving the car is awesome, mind you we had the "baby" engine (but come on 300 hp is enough). The car just glides, it is not rough riding and can take of from the line good and does great for passing people! Hubby says he would have to have the 426hp 6.2L V8 if he ever owned one because you "HAVE" to have the maximum speed, really it is not necessary with this car! But the biggest deal breaker is the fact that there is literally NO backseat!! For me to drive I needed the seat all of the way back to be comfortable but that left ZERO leg room for DD so I had to move up a bit then she just sat indian style..I may not get to keep her but it was fun!!
So all in all the car was awesome!! I had a blast driving it and was sad to take it back LOL!! However after hitting that deer yesterday I was really glad I was in my Dodge!!
Living out in the country is one of the greatest blessings on earth!! I could never imagine myself anywhere else...But sometimes there are some cons that come with this, you see I live down 5 miles of dirt road, 10 miles if your coming from the city... And when it rains around here it can get pretty sticky out on these roads!!!So Saturday the Hubby needed to work on my truck, but he forgot that I had made plans for the day so I wouldn't have my truck :( Well he called on Friday night and said that he was going to go ahead and leave my truck in the city so our friend who owns a diesel shop could get started working on it...I didn't really like that to well because my truck is kind of my baby and I don't like leaving her away...So he told me he was driving our friends truck (he just got a new one) so I thought to myself he isn't leaving it there because he wants it started first thing in the morning he's leaving it so he can drive our buddy's new truck!! OH MEN!!! I was a tiny bit annoyed with his silliness!! So he gets home and comes in while I am eating dinner and says "you wanna come see this truck" I'm like "UMM hello I'm eating"!! So he gets DD and then when I got done eating out we went, he opens the garage door and I see a low profiled car front end....HUH?!?! Our friend has a truck and its big, not a car?!?! What in the world is it....So the door opens all of the way and there it sits....The replica of my dream car....My dream car is a '69 Camaro, I LOVE them and will hopefully someday own one....So there sits a 2010 Camaro, I'm like "what the crap, where'd this come from"?!?! *SMILING* Well the Hubby decided since he was taking my truck for the day he'd rent me that new Camaro so I would at least get to drive one in my life!!So needless to say, within 5 minutes I was in love...Yes with a car...I'm a total car/truck freak, LOVE THEM!!! I'd own 20 different ones if I could LOL!!! So now I'm needing to remind myself why it is that I need to keep driving a truck and not race down and trade it in on a new Camaro!! Actually Chevy made the decision for me since the car virtually has NO back seat!! DD had to ride Indian style while Hubby was in the car LOL!!!AWWW She's a Beauty!!!!!!!! Am I the only car freak in the world?!?!
OHH and there is my real baby in the background!! Definitely NOT a sports car LOL, however I do drive it like one!!
