A few days ago, I became the proud owner of a 2018 Garnet Red Camaro ZL1. Having been a devoted GM enthusiast, surrounded by classics like Chevelle’s, Corvettes, and GTOs throughout my upbringing, owning a Camaro was a lifelong dream.
While the Camaro holds a special place, it’s not my daily driver. I usually reserve it for Fridays at work and pleasant weekends. My everyday vehicle is a 2021 Toyota Camry XSE.
Unfortunately, this week has been a series of unfortunate events. The Camry, my daily driver, fell victim to wheel theft at work, along with two Honda Accords. This led me to decide to take the Camaro to work, only to encounter my window being smashed while at work. Luckily, I was by a window. It seems they might have followed me from a gas station near my home. I noticed the group of guys in a Nissan Altima kept on looking at me while I was filling up at Chevron, but didn’t think anything of it. Work location for that day was over an hour and a half away so they followed me.
Feeling uneasy about the situation, I’m torn about what to do next. While I’ve taken precautions like installing a dash camera and utilizing work’s surveillance, I can’t control the actions of the general public. I typically park my cars in a garage at home, yet incidents at work have left me feeling vulnerable.
Considering the higher risk associated with the Camaro, I’m unsure whether to keep it or limit its use to local drives. I’m at a loss and would appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.
What should I do? I’m just so lost right now.
