The next is my SS used to be my daily driver but wanted to try to keep the miles off of it after all those trips to/from ATL -- Its currently in the shop because after two wheel alignments, the steering wheel is cocked to the right when going straight. Thats the one the Malibu is currently replacing as my loaner until I go to pick up my SS, or they give me another loaner due to the insurance claim of they're still working on my personal vehicle.

The final one is my Prius .. I've actually wanted a Hybrid for awhile and it was intended to keep the miles off the SS until I found out it was barely more efficient than the SS on the highway and is really only good around town. So I alternate driving between it and the SS to / from work.

BUT if I could handle 4... I probably wouldn't hesitate to do it .. Probably will when I'm done paying for the SS. The next target on my list is either a ZL1 or a C8.. ..and the Prius will eventually be replaced with either a Camry Hybrid (best fuel mileage), Ioniq Hybrid (best storage / fuel mileage combination), or an electric something (trendy but not very functional for how far I drive)
Didn't you say you had two camaros in the shop during this hail incident? And double check the Ioniq versus Niro. I think the Niro is a bit bigger for storage. I fit a giant Full sized bed in my Niro when it didn't fit in my sister's Outlander sport.

C8 - or you will regret not taking that plunge.

I still regret not going for the used ‘65 Stingray hardtop 45 years ago, and the ‘58 C1 in 1963.

Yeah, the Z28 is a Camaro. It was at Aikman Performance in Cedar Park during the storm.
The SS is also a Camaro and is still at Don Hewlett Chevy during the storm.
The Prius generally never gets pulled in the garage and doesn't have.
The Malibu isn't my car but was my error as I was considering pulling it in the garage but chose not to out of sheer laziness.

For some reason I keep getting the Ioniq and Niro confused.

My mom / dad's first car was a 67 Nova, light blue in color. They wanted a 1st Gen Camaro (it runs in the blood) but my mom settled for a Nova.. ..later they moved from IL to TX and when I was born they bought a 85 Iroc Z with dual carburetors souped up by a kid who kept getting speeding tickets in it because the speedometer was off. They said when you put your foot in it, you could literally watch the gas needle go down.

But yeah the C8 looks mean.

Some good news today.

Geico covered the loaner car as property damage resulting a $0 deductible. They stated that in Texas they cover all loaner and rental car damage resulted by ‘acts of god’ as property damage and no deductible is necessary. Don Hewlett is refunding my $500 deductible.

The insurance adjuster for my roof arrives tomorrow so I guess that $500 will go toward my Home Insurance Deductible

Finally notified State Farm for a claim yesterday so their adjuster is coming by Wednesday to inspect our roof.
Pretty busy probably.
