Default 98z28 traded in for 2002 trans am

I need to share my frustration, wasn't clear on what thread to put this in but I think you'll understand. So in November I traded my 98 Z28 in for a 2002 pewter metallic WS6 Trans Am convertible with white top.
The summer of 2007 and 2008 I did very well at the car shows I entered with the Camaro.
So after trading the Camaro in at a Local dealer ship I was praying that it would end up in the hands of someone that would take good care of it.
Well I find out that some chick bought it and drives it every day. That may not seem like a problem, but I never even drove it in the rain, and Oooh yeh I live in New Hampshire and it's winter season.
I found the car in a parking lot covered in road salt, My heart stopped for a moment. I was lost for words.
Anyways I love my Trans Am and can not wait for spring!
Thanks for listening

Maybe her only car and has no choice. Not everyone can afford 2 cars.

Just because its covered in road salt doesnt mean she doesnt care about it. My camaro is my only car, so its also my daily driver. during the week it gets covered in salt and sand and crap, but as soon as saturday comes around, im at a car wash. If it gets really bad, ill do it twice a week, until its warm enough for me to wash by hand.

Alright you have a good point, thats why I'll wait to talk to her in spring time and see what her ideas are for the car. I'm not sure how you are when it comes to detailing you car but I'm am very serious about keeping a clean and shinny car. Thanks for your point of view.
I drive two cars, but one is a chevy cavalier that I bought for 800 dollars. This is all so the Trans Am can sit in the garage for the winter. There are plenty of cheap 4 bangers out there.

i understand completly, and i wasnt trying to sound harsh at all. i live in an apartment, you only get 1 parking pass per lease holder. my GF and i try to comute together as much as possible, so we normally take her truck. but before we moved in together, it was me and the camaro, rain, snow, mud, or sun... once i get out of the apartment life, the camaro will be seeing a LOT less bad weather.
