Which one would be better? i want a camaro cause they are awesome and fast. A truck would be useful because you can go offroading and it snows (sometimes several inches) where i live..(missouri)

which one? any reasons not to get a 88-92 camaro? any major problems with them? we don't smog here either....

just wondering...and as far as trucks, any reasons not to get a jeep wrangler? i've heard they are top heavy, and have seen one completely upside down while the little dinky car it hit was still on all fours..

I have a truck, but sometimes I wish I drove a car. Trucks can be a hassle parking especially in tight spaces.
But as far as Camaro's, IROCZ are awesome.

I had this exact same dillemma a few years back. I went with the camaro..it was so hot looking, convertible Z. BUT, it was the biggest lemon EVER!! I later learned that models in the late 80's to early 2000's were crap. I mean crap! Everything about it had to be replaced at some point because Chevy had not figured out the computer system, thats what I was told anyway. I owned the car for about 3 years and only put 8000 miles on it because it was broken down the rest of time. I know it wasnt an isolated incident because the dealer mechanic told me about the probs they were having. With all this said, I really wish I got the truck. I think it would be better for you with the snow anyway. Jeeps are awesome, had one of those too. But sooooo cold in the winter! Good luck!

It's really up to functionality, you're comparing oranges to apples. I like fast cars, but if you live where it snows and this is going to be your only mode of transportation I would go with a truck, 4x4 if you like off roading. Right now is the time to buy a truck, because of gas prices, the dealerships are trying to get rid of so much inventory right now. Hope that helps.

well i have an 88 camaro and its a tight car, but waste way too much gas though i have a v8, you can try a v6. Ive also had a jeep cheeroke and the overall feel is crappy and slow i would say a wrangler is the same
