Default Own Multiple 4th Gens?

Does anyone out there own more than one 4th generation Camaro or Firebird? Or am I an idiot for wanting to buy a t top car and keep my convertible? I shared this idea with a friend by showing him a low mileage SS online earlier today and here's how the conversation went down:

Ron: Don't you already have one of those?
Me: Well, I have a blue SS convertible.... This is a black SS t-top car with low miles...There's a huge difference.

Am I wrong for wanting more than one 4th gen Camaro?

I had two at once, but got rid of my old one. Having a big comfy DD makes driving the T/a that much more exciting when it's time to get behind the wheel. I don't want the loud smelly squeakiness of the f-bod all the time

I always get the question "Why do you have more than 1?"

"Why not?!"

This maybe why I'm still single. I see nothing wrong with it. I have a 02 Z28, 05 GTO, and I DD a sunfire.

I've always had two. At one point a 1988 and 1989 Formula 350. Now I have a 1989 and a 1999, about to scrap the 1989 and see if I can snag a 1979. I DD a Silverado though.

Nothing wrong with owning multiple hot rods. We get one life, for some people, the gearhead thing is in the blood. If you enjoy owning and working on them, and can afford it, why stop at one?

My Dad had a 11k mile Black 6 speed '02 WS6 until '07, and just last year I got my A4 SS, I think it would be awesome to have them both at the same time. Would have been like having the best of both worlds in a way.

I've got 2 now. I just picked up a full bolt on 98Z about a week or so ago in addition to my HOSS. The Z is my daily driver now and i'm actually looking at getting a 97 Anniversary SS .

We had two for years. My '95 TA and her '97 Camaro. Both convertibles. I've replaced the TA with a Vette, but she still has her Camaro.
