Default LS1 on Dirt Roads?

Fellas. I have a dilemma.

I have the opportunity to get another Camaro soon. Wanted one ever since I got rid of my last one a couple summers ago. But this time, I moved and currently live on dirt roads...

The dilemma is... I can afford a nice Camaro with sub 60k on the clock. Got a nice 2 car garage for her to rest in now. But stinkin dirt roads! I don't know if I can handle it getting dirty all the time. And when I take it out, washing it everytime just get to dirty on the way home. Wanting one back awful bad.

The dirt road is only about half a mile to my house off a highway. But crap gets dirty real quick on it.

Thoughts??

match the car as closely to the color of the dirt as you can... likely pewter but depends what color dirt you have lol

That's just a tough deal man. I say just deal with it if you want the car!

It sucks! Everytime you come and go you stir up dust and it gets everywhere. Engine, dash, wheels and of course the paint. It's super aggravating. You just have to deal with it and keep a handle on it as best you can. Even parked the wind will blow the dust up under the hood.

Thanks for the imput guys. I am leaning towards letting it go this time... I just think a car like that would deserve better you know? Lol. I am compulsive about cleanliness as most of you are. I would stab my neighbors for kicking up too much dust.
