    Red face First 'impractical' Car

    After 25 years of station wagons, minivans and SUVs, and the kids all done with college, I finally bought my first 'impractical' car - a 2001 Camaro (V6). It was a blast driving the car home in the highway with the t-tops off. I just joined this forum to see what I got myself into. Hope everything works out great.

    Welcome to the site. The V6 is pretty practical. You shouldn't get yourself in much trouble with it
