Nothing to "artsy" about these pics, I just like showing off my car!
ok I hope thats not your car...if it is sorry dude!! but im just gunna say it...Uhhhggg they totally ruined the Camaro's and firebirds...i ALWAYS cringe like hell when i see a fourth gen anything and when they have black bonnets i just want to barf...they just killed those cars...somethings just very wrong with the shape or something they look like Sebrings *shudders*...gawd

Third gens will continue to look mean as **** tho...especially GTA's and i love your's...it's bad ***

Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!

i dunno...you may say that fourth gens look like crap, but i think it is Chrysler who stole the shape from chevy on the camaro....i think the 98-02's look good (especially the t/a's...they look mean!) but i agree that the 93-97 camaro's dont look that great, but you also have to factor in the LT1!

anyways onto the thrid gens, 86ta, that bird is pretty damn nice....i always wondered how a bird would look with a cowl and stripes....i was thinking about it myself, but i have insufficient funds lol, but its lookin nice!

Needs a bit of body work and paint, but it's going to look good.

Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!

each to their own I guess, I personally think it looks awesome, but then again it is my car

and I will admit I was very "on the fence" before I got it, it probably looks better in person.

Have to admit that I am not a fan of late model Vette rims on our birds, but they sure do look good in that photo. They actually look like they belong there. Got any shots from different angles?

Wow the more pics of convertibles I see the more I want one. Maybe my next thirdgen.
Anyway, it isn't really "artistic", and its ugly as sin, but heres my GTA.

Car is solid as a rock, but just looks terrible. I love it though :-)
