If it's that big of a deal to you then unplug your dash fuse..

But still, it's just a camaro, not a Ferrari. Who cares about mileage.

Owning a camaro and not driving it for fear of putting miles on it, is like not screwing your gf enough so her next boyfriend enjoys how tight her **** still is. FLOOR THAT SOM BITCH!!!!

My last SS had 92k on it and my Z has 99k on it. There cars, they are meant to be driven.

I'm the same way with mine. My T/A has 78k and my camaro has 120k. Only thing that hasn't been completely rebuilt drivetrain wise is the bottem end in the T/A and the hole engine in the Camaro. Two Tick level 2s, MWC 9" and a rebuilt 10 bolt. You can always replace parts when they wear out but its still heartbreaking watching them add miles. Also I bought a Cobalt SS new last september and its all ready got 30k on it. I've had my T/A almost 5 years and only put 22k on it lol.

Hell yea. IDK how guys can keep their cars parked all the time and dont even drive them enough to change the oil once a year. Cars are meant to be driven. I put about 15k a year on mine and thats just taking it out on fun cruises for half the year.

I'd almost rather buy a 10 year old car with 100k miles than one with 20k miles, all else being equal. At least it has been driven. Sometimes just sitting so much is harder on the car than actually being used.

HAHA! 100% agree. The guy that lives next to me has a corvette. He never drives it always parked in the garage. Only time its out is when he washes and waxes it. Then it goes back in. I never understood the whole keep the mileage low for resale. Or buying a car as an investment, in hopes of selling it in 30 years for more money, hell in 30 year gasoline cars maybe banned on the roads.

If you expect to get any kind of return on investment from a mass production vehicle all I can say is I'm sorry for you.

Both for the disappointment that will follow and the fact you aren't getting to really enjoy it while you can.
