Pic post dedicated to 86fyrbrd

As some of you might have read, 86fyrbrd is selling his car on ebay right now(go buy it!!!). Anyway, I remember a long while back when Carndrvr sold his car(arguably the most beautiful thirdgen camaro on these boards)....we had a pic post for him. Progress pics of his car, current pics....overall we just drooled on our keyboards, right?

86fyrbrd: Your car (and your attitude about it) has made browsing the boards a very fun thing for me (and others) for quite a while. I remember back when you totaled your first bird, then moved on to your current. Wasn't the plan bright yellow? lol. Thanks for going on pic posting rampages and enabling me to dream about my car for endless hours during times when I should be doing something else.

If you've got a pic of 86fyrbrd's car saved on your computer - post it. Let's give this guy one last hurah.

That is brutal... I am sure the poor guy is having a hard enough time with the idea of selling the car.... This just rubs it in a little.

This isn't meant to be brutal. Quite the contrary. If I had to sell my car - and was dead set on doing it, I'd like to know if people had appreciated my form of art - the car. This is what he has created - art. I'm showing my appreciation for it. His car will always have a place on my desktop.

Becuase after all - a car is just a car. What he has created is more a skillful mastery of automobile design. His attention to detail is simply breathtaking.

If nothing else, take it as such: I don't want him selling his car not knowing that he's inspired those around him. At least for me, I'm thankful he had the idea to share his car with us.

nah it isnt really brutal Im ok with it.

damn, Im suprised people even remember me having a previous bird, yeah it was gonna be yellow. Im glad I went ahead with the way I did it, but I cant dig any deeper into my pocket to keep it so its time to move on. Im just hoping someone buys it. I think the lowest I can go is $9,500

hey you know if I had the money, I'd jump on it now. The stuff you're including with it make it more than worth the money.

But yeah...I remember the OLD days, lol. Even you had a "does the 4th gen console fit" post. :lala:

Why sell it because you can't dig deeper in your pockets... why don't you just stop modding it for a while... I wouldn't want to give that beauty up..

Anyhow, good luck.... are you going to get another thirdgen...?

hey 86fyrbrd, whats up with that buyer of your car? he has tons of negative feedback and is not a registered ebay user. what's up with that?

the guy just got all of those negative feedbacks TODAY within 30 min of each other! his account has been inactive since July 2001, and now he decides to buy sumthing. i think you have yourself a 'no buying bidder'. maybe someone stole his user ID on ebay...

I dunno man, but sumthing smells fishy.
