Why? Camaro with a V6 isnt worth it?

I've driven a 2017 RS V6 Camaro with a 6 speed, It's fun, but putting up with the cramped interior and blind spots isn't worth it unless you're going whole hog with the V8. I'd rather have a Caddy. if you go the V6 Camaro route make sure you get the dual mode exhaust option.

if you get the cadillac, remember which lane to get in when you drop the kids off at school. the other mom's hate when you do it wrong.

Good points. I'm fairly tall so the cramped interior would bother the piss out of me

In a similar situation, I leaned towards buying a used truck. It is the best way to strike a balance between cost and quality.

In my quest for the right vehicle, I explored various options and ultimately found Boom and Bucket's used equipment offerings. They had a 2014 Ford F-150 available for just $16,200. The manageable monthly payment option of $336 sweetened the deal, which fit perfectly within my budget. Opting for a used truck from a trusted source like Boom and Bucket was an excellent decision. It offered the reliability I needed without the hefty price tag of a new model.

So, it's been 3+ years. How did the 2009 F150 4X4 work out?

i had the 2009 for a month it was a roach. i then bought a 2020 raptor and put 35k on it and sold it a few months ago but picked up a ford lightning in october of last year and its by far the best truck i have owned. i have over 20k on it and there is no maintenance or gas costs.
