When you buy a third gen and go to do some mods and find out you have to buy a whole new set of tools because you find out everything is metric.....

First thing on your list is to replace the cracked dashpad.

Im from the North East but I saw this and decided to chime in.
Its taking me more than 4 hours to change my plugs. Gotta take the pass. side header off to get to em.

when you get in trouble by the wife or gf for not turning the car off fast enough when you got home, in the process waking everyone up.

I'd add - can change a power window motor in under five minutes!

hot92RS

Off thread, but how can you change a power window motor in under five minutes?

trans_x1985

one word...zawsaw....lol

hot92RS

Again, I apologize for being off thread, but I know it doesn't take those window motor repair guys very long-like a pizza delivery guy(thirty minutes or less). The trouble is I have never been around when they come to change the motors out to watch them. Always left the car home with the wife. When you look on the forum for the directions to change out the motor, I only found what appeared to be a big hairy deal almost not worth the trouble.

awesome thread!!

jimc1987

lol so true

Black91B4C

Ha, find the template, drill the holes, drill the rivets, drop the motor, pop the new motor up, three bolts and three nuts. 4th gen is the same. G-body takes a little bigger hole because they use 10mm bolts. First time I did one I dealt with pulling the regulator crap, every one since I drilled the holes. Once the doorpanel is off, I can do it in five minutes or so. And I am pretty quick at door panels too, maybe another 5 minutes. I've had to replace every motor on all my GM's (6 cars at the present) , and have done a bunch of friends cars too.

Your windshield cracks due to body flex while you are trying to jack up a front tire.

12) When you refuse to put on a front liscense plate cuz you gotta see that front bowtie

So?!

here is one> You spend $$$ on parts and hours installing them to get more power. THEN spending $$$ and more time taking it all back off so you can have a factory stock car.

87IROCZCamro

lmao its all true!!!

TPImoneypit

I'm not from around here either, but it's just too good:

Every mechanic in the shop runs away when they see your car and hear the words "fuel pump"

You see someone walking away from a firebird at the junkyard, and know that the headlight motors have just disappeared

TPImoneypit

almost forgot:

Yeah, the gentleman thing is part of it, but also 'cause the pass. door is from another thirdgen, and it's the only one I have a key for, so it's kind of mandatory that I unlock the car from that side

Darkshot

You know you drive an F-body if you have a "fix it" list on a special piece of paper in the center console just do you don't forget everything that needs to be done.

sinisterrs

.... when you have to roll out of the car as upposed to stepping out of it

885speed

I'm guilty of that one, but thats only because I have two and a half feet worth of stainless steel on each side of my spine and thats the only way to get out


awesome thread! Im lovin' it

89'CamaroRS

I feel you bud! haha.

fryer1979

I am so guilty on so many of these, I will do most of the errands for the house just to drive, and I will go way out of my way to go by the store with the big glass windows. About the only ones I can't go along with are the wife/gf ones. My wife has a 1994 Formula, so she is part of the madness. I think she is just as guilty of most of these as I am.

#45 when you have to speed up and then shut your car off to coast into the driveway without being heard

this doesn't have to do with third gens or anything but its funny

when you pull up to somebody in a mustang and you have a manual and you high rev it and watch them take off like there racing and you take off normal and watch the mustang get pulled over

when you drive by a hotel and rev your engine and few people look out the windows to see what it was

Rayzor32

#46 You are HAPPY your car doesn't have A/C

HarmonyCamaro

when you get pulled over for speeding and you get off with a warning cause the cop says " i used to own one "

krisb410

That's happened to me twice, just got warnings, no ticket!!!!!

shibbykins

when you get pulled over for "not having a front license plate" but the cop spends the whole time checking out your ride and asking about it

Justin1989

#40?: When you have a routine of buttons to press when parking and starting your car.

Unlock, engine on, parking lights on, windows down, radio on, ipod on, volume up.

Volume down, ipod off, radio off, windows up, parking lights off, engine off, lock engaged.

Justin1989

RTGTA

How about this one:

When you drive past 2 girls and the 40 yr old mother stares just as long as her 21 yr old daughter.


Gotta Love It! lol

HarmonyCamaro

when you drive the speed limit down mainstreet when there snow on the ground and everybody is looking at you wondering how stupid you are.

Rayzor32
