You know.....30-50 amp electrical service (plug-in) for TT or 5th wheel.
Hook up water, sewer, cable,.....the only way to camp!-lol
The wife's not much of a dry camper.

Very nice. We sold the camper few years ago. Motels are not that bad. Went and looked at a new truck the other day and tried to talk the wife into a mustang. She said no because of the kids.

The back seat is really pretty..........but otherwise pretty useless. When my wife and I are comfortable in front, the back of the front seats are touching the fronts of the back seats. Being a "four seater" instead of a two seater saves on insurance, I hear....

The Mustang is alright, but why didn't you buy a REAL muscle car?

I don't like rag tops, and my wife had to have an automatic transmission so it only has 400 HP. If we would have gotten the six speed it would have 427. For some stupid reason, GM decided the auto Camaro's needed " active fuel management" (AFM) so apparently they had to cut back the HP. I don't know why, and I effing hate the cylinder deactivation. Other than that I love this car, best built GM car I have ever owned, by far.

No hard feelings on the Stang, just joking around.

I knew that, thanks.........if you don't have a sense of humor here, you won't last long..........your Camaro is beautiful..........but the reason we did not get one was because we took a vacation a couple of years ago to check out real estate in Arizona, and rented a Camaro convertible.
We really felt we could not see out of the thing when the top was up -- even having to lean way forward to see traffic lights out of those itty bitty windows. Good looking cars for sure, but they need more greenhouse!

Thanks for the compliment. I get compliments and thumbs up from people all the time.
I agree it can be a pain to see out of, but just like anything else, you get used to it. The back up camera and sensors help.

I love convertibles.

However, I'm actually very disappointed in the new Mustang and Camaro's rear seats.
They're completely useless and should be re-classified as 2 seater sports cars now.

It got even worse in the newest Mustang with the super sloped aggressive rear window angle.
At least my 2nd gen z/28 had enough room semi-comfortably for an adult.
Can't even get kids in the back of either of these new pony cars.

GM won't axe the rear seat because of the Vette.
I'm guessing that's why Ford won't do it either.

Mind you, i have kids so this is a family man's perspective.
I'm sure an older couple or couple with no kids, it don't matter.
