All good things must come to an end

[Flyn]

Here's my ride for the past week in Chicago. 18,000 mile Camaro SS from Budget. Something like 420hp, paddle shifters, heated leather, HUD, etc. Not a bad ride. I hated giving it back. Ended up costing me $5 a day over the base rental price of a standard model. Well worth the extra $$. Only downside is it's tough to see in any direction. Long front end, narrow side windows and little rear view. Back up camera is necessary to see what's behind it. Ride was firm. Cornered like it was on rails. Switching TC off, combined with the cold weather resulted in ridiculous wheel spin. I took it to a couple parking lots and had some fun with 180s and doughnuts. Thanks Budget!

Meh. Slow


That looks like downers grove. Where is that?

Orland Park. My brother's house.

Granted, the SS wasn't close to as quick as my Cobra. Still, it wasn't bad for a rental. They wanted $18 a day to upgrade but my wife asked for the $5 price and, since it was late at night when we got to Budget after a 3 hour plane delay, they let us have it for the $5. I was expecting a base Camaro and, instead, got a loaded SS. :smile:

Very nice Cliff. Glad to see you enjoyed your time here and took the opportunity to stretch the legs of a sports car.

For sure a nice ride for a rental. Glad you got to enjoy something fun to drive.

And I'm still rocking the Eaton you sold me too.

It felt good being in a RWD car again. I lucked out that the Chicago weather cooperated.

Even though the changes were minor, I really like what they did with the 2014. Those tail lights made the rear end look so much wider. Much better rental than a Hyundai Sonata!

I think the headlights are nicer too. The first time I saw the back end I thought it was pretty meh but it's grown on me.

I really like the new Camaro's. Especially the ZL1

Driving a Camaro is like living in Cali or Florida. You do it for maybe a week then you get the fuck out and pray you still have your sanity.
