No she should not have any say in what car you choose to drive.
Divorce means separate lives, and making your own decisions for yourself.
does she expect you to just run right out and get another car just because she doesn't like it? I would let her know she is no longer involved in your life choices.

Tell your ex that if she wants you to get a different car, you will be happy to do so, just as soon as her check clears. If she wants you to have it, she is going to have to pay for it!
You have a safe car! You like the car! Your kids are happy!
Your ex should have no say in what you drive!

As long as you have the children properly secured in their seats, or in a child safety seat depending on your states child safety laws, your wife has absolutely no say in what kind of car you drive. Keep the Camero. She just wants to control you and she lost that when she signed those divorce papers. Have fun with the kids. Keep the cool car.

Its her business if its her kids, but simply owning a car doesn't mean you will drive it unsafely with them in it.
Your kids shouldn't be knowing your car is fast, that tells me you have been driving too fast with them in the car.
As long as your car has the proper children's restraints there isn't any reason to worry, but know that your ex will be back in court if you ever do have an accident or a speeding ticket, so be careful. Think of it this way, if you are in an accident even without the kids, your kids will be living with your ex. Doesn't that make you want a Volvo?

Unless she's paying the note the only thing she cna do is voice her opinion.
As long as the kids are safe and you aren't a fool behind the wheel everything is fine.
Since she likes to nag, ask her what makes one car any less dangerous than the next one. They are all made of metal/fiberglass, have engines, run on fuel, and need the same repairs.

lets face it. a camero is a very cool car but, it's not got the best crash test record. i'm sure your ex is concerned about the size of the car should an accident occur. even though you have a good driving record, not everyone on the road does. just be careful and watch out for the other guy.
in answer to your q, no, she has no say in what type of car you drive as long as there is ample seating and shoulder belts for all individuals and the car is in good working order.

Cars are only as safe as the driver. As long as the kids are buckled in and you aren't trying to drag race everyone on the street have fun and enjoy your car.

i dont see the issue.. as long as your driving safely at all times with the kids in the car.. just cause you havent had tickets doesnt mean your an honest and safe driver!
But yes, she also has a say.. if she has reason to believe you are being unsafe with the children.. its within her rights to have it investigated by the courts

If the car is in good shape, and the breaks, & stearing work properly. Unless you're driving like a compleat nut, I don't see a problem

I think she has a say in what her kids are riding in. If she feels its unsafe it something that you need to sit down and discuss as parents. Show her the seat belt system, all the safety features. As long as you are following the traffic laws (speed,safety signs, etc...) then assure youre ex that you are being safe with the children.
