Not too bad but there's nothing but lights. Night pictures are better with either the car as a silhouette(sp?) or alot of lights reflecting off the car. See sig.

You're kidding right, Jobryan. You sold that SWEET A$$ Car. And for a 4th gen with a SIX to boot. OUCH. Oh well, what is the world coming to. Maybe your wife made you do it for being a bad boy or something. We are gonna have to send you to camaroz28.com or somewhere like that until you come to your senses. Buy another 3rd gen and keep the 4th and then all will be forgiven.

DAMN I LOVED YOUR CAR.

You should of sold it to me. Lol

Yep, it's so and Jay is right I caught hell at 3rdgen.org (3 pages worth). But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I got tired of fixing the TA and since I didn't have a place to work on it anymore and it would have cost me out the *** for repairs so that was out of the question. But, since our Sebring is paid off I plan on trading it in on a LT1 Trans AM or maybe even a LS1 if I can get some raises at my job. Atleast it gets good gas mileage and my insurance is alot cheaper than it would be on an LT1/LS1 without lying and saying it was a V-6. In all honesty the performance isn't that bad compared to the 87 TA since it has the 3.42 rear end installed and 200hp which was more than the TA had stock....just not enough torque!

Sorry I didn't comment on the intent of the original post before Try taking a pic at night, but directly under a lone street light. For me, doing so produced probably my favorite pic of my car

Jim very nice pic! As for the TA I traded it in so it went........ Funny thing is the next day after I traded in the car I went by the Dealership to sign over the title and when I pulled in 7 of the sales men where standing around it checking it out and they complimented me on how well the car looked. It was the worst part, saying goodbye after over 9years together.

You bought a 4th gen? Son.... That's bad. Whatever you do, don't let this logo become your best friend.

I have no idea HOW i took the pic to get the fog-lights to come out like that, but i love it It must be from either the camera flash or the low light level that made it stand out like that.

ps-thanks for the compliments guys

nothing wrong with owning a 4th gen
i would probably have a third gen right now, if the banks around here wasnt d*cks about loans on older cars
but i still love the LS1 gwahahhahah
oh well, maybe ill have another third gen when the Z's paid off
