Hello there everyone I need some advice, my son said he browses here in his spare time and I figured this is a good place for advice, so I'm asking you.
My son is saying he wants to buy a Chevrolet Camaro (like the one in the picture) but I want him to have a safe car made after 2005, how can I convince him to get something that is safer and will last longer
-Thank you

Let him buy it and watch him wrap it around a pole. It builds character.
What pricerange?
>Let him buy it and watch him wrap it around a pole. It builds character.
This, let him make the mistake and die earlier in life rather than later when he builds debt and dies and leaves it all on you or someone else after getting a faster car.
How old is this son?
Excuse me but that's very rude, but I'll tell him that
He's 23
Still lives at home?
No, he has his own apartment, but comes over every weekend
That car will last a long time if he takes care of it, and it has airbags, its safe enough. However, the insurance rates are rather high. Is he dead set on a Camaro or is a Mustang or something else an option?
He's taking a mechanics course, so I think he most likely will
Why is asking for the pricerange rude?
My bad, I tagged that by accident
The price is £5,500 I think
Wait. Do they even sell Camaros in any European countries? I believe both the LT1 and LS1 engines these came with are 5.7L.
I think it's a left hand drive car (which is another reason I want him to buy himself a safer car)
Why the fuck would you tell your parents you go on Veeky Forums?
Probably looked older his shoulder if not a troll. Keep it civil if it's real.
LHD or RHD doesn't really affect the safety of the car in an accident, it's just something different to get used to. If he has a good sense of spacial awareness in-car he'll be fine.
I just heard him talking about it and decided to look at what this was
Also why does almost everyone here share the same name
Buy an IS300.
An IS200 sport would be good if you're in europe, too.
>Lexus/toyota reliability
>Parts aren't all that expensive
>Can be found in manual
>RWD
>Still fun to drive while not being batshit crazy
My son is quite spaciously aware but I'm not a troll
My suggestion is the nissan 350z. It is newer than the camaro and more reliable.
That looks like a good choice, thank you
Left hand drive cars in the UK tend to have higher insurance. If you're willing to put up with that then it isn't a bad car, they are quite safe.
Do you have a picture
I'm still convincing him not to spend his money on that
You are all being really helpful, no wonder he's friends with you all
But its kinda heavy and the interior looks weird.
Still between an IS200 and a Miata.
Opinions anyone?
...
Stop being a fucking retarded newfag, go back to leredditz for taking this at face value. Moron.
ok i'm 99% sure this is a troll but if he has found an import camaro he should go for a specialist insurer, maybe classic insurance?
So this car is safer, right?
There aren't many camaros in that price range for sale in the UK but here is one

If you want a newer one you have to look at the latest gen and they are more expensive

Does he like traps?
Don't be rude to him
Why do you keep calling me that?
You don't need to show these to me, I don't want him to get one of these
>le epic thread where mommy finds Veeky Forums
What does this mean?
Than a camaro?
Yes
They are newer cars so in general is it safe to assume it will be safer. They were also sold in the UK so they will be right hand drive, a bit easier on the bank and a bit easier to drive on British roads.
>What does this mean?
WDSMBT?
Ok I'll try and convince him to buy one of these then
>suggesting a Nissan Z
What your son should really get is a Toyota GT86, it's slow, handles well and is new and safe
Those are really expensive
There's alot of autistic cunts that browse here.
Ignore them.
Notable examples
Tell him to get a 90s civic hatch for 3k and use the remaining money on safety mods like a 10 point roll cage and 8 point harness
Thanks for the support, but could you not use such bad language
I said something after 2005, I'm about to call my son about the Nissan now
You never answered if your son likes traps
There are a lot of individuals of questionable intelligence on this website.
Does this sound better?
2005 is where everything went wrong though
How can someone like or dislike a trap?
"Traps" are men dressed as women who can "pass"
Yes
I don't think he does
>people responding legitimately to this
>actually treating OP like she's your friend's mom you met irl
Please kys
hey bitch, i wouldn't recommend a 350z at all, very wide and only came with big fuck off engines.
if he NEEDS a cunt-meltingly sporty coupe, he could at least go for a smaller size - have you asked him if he could stomach a hot hatch instead?
if you are too retarded for that, also look for toyota twatting celicas, ford fucking cougars or maybe a peugeot prick-swallowing 406 coupe?
i took the bait
Epic roleplay thread, OP
I know, so many people fell for it
I was in the same boat as your son, I bought a Nissan 350Z
>similar power to SN95 and LT 4th gen camaro
>close ratio 6 speed let's the v6 feel torquey (never test drove an auto so can't speak for the 5 speed auto)
>engine isn't tucked away like the camaro's engine so easy to work on
>interior plastics rattle but interior layout is better than the SN95
if safety is a concern this is one of the first cars to have thick A pillars, thick doors, driver packaged below the windows rather than above it
ironically according to wikipedia these have a high death per registration ratio in the US

Fuck you.
No one calls me a bitch and gets away with it
That's not what you told me in bed last night
>people actually fell for a thread I didn't think would actually work
wouldn't that suggest that the people who own them are engaged in driving activities that would lead to more crashes?
Like if you made a list of car brands that kill Actors, Porsche would be at the top. Doesn't mean they are inherently unsafe. Just driven hard like a racecar, with typical racecar type crashes.
1 million minivan drivers are not throwing the ass end out round a corner at 50mph, therefore less likely to crash and die.
> trees are cunts to crash in to
Yeah and you only had to reply 20 times.
If he's 23 and still asking for your permission, you raised him wrong.
If he needs your help buying it, that's even worse.
your downfall was saying your 'son' was looking at a camaro in the uk lmao
They're pretty good cars, as long as you get the V8 and accept that the interior is a pretty poor quality.
They did. Euro- and Japanese-market taillights fetch a pretty penny these days.
