Off roading 3rd gens
Well, I have found out why our cars are called ******* cars (Camaro's at least!)
Are there any more out there like this?
What does this involve doing?

there's a blue with silver stripes 88 near my house in st.louis but i haven't seen any in springfield
i think it's actually kinda neat in it's own way but i can't stand the waste of a good thirdgen for this reason
maybe we should do it to mustangs

place the car body over the cab and weld mounting points/bolt it on
they arnt really 4wd cars... they're just bodies sitting on a truck frame.

Well to answer your question "What does it involve doing?" , the answer is simple. Get bored , drink some beer, and F up a perfectly good F-body! They do look fun but damn it ,why not just leave it a truck! Oh well to each his own!

haha on monster garage they took a corvette stingray, modified the drive train to make it 4wd, cut the hell out of the fenders to put some massive mudders on, and then stuck a 500 hp bottle fed engine in there. The scariest part is they did such a good job it actually looked good when they were done.

hey the first one looks clean to me! Doesnt look too bad but would look better with a c-10 body. How about doing that to a suzuki swift or a toyota tercel?

another thing, I bet it is hell to park that thing.......with a truck you are put up front and see the road better. In our cars, your are kind of laying low and further back. STill looks like fun though.
ah 4x4, I miss my 1955 ****** pickup.

Its good to cry every now and then , weather its from laughing at that or being upset that they would do it! Take your pick! Do I see a new import/domestic war brewing? "My Neon has a 4inch lift" "Oh yeah well my Camaro has 6 and 36inch Super Swampers". This could get ugly(er).

am i the only one that can tell both of the pictures are photoshoped?!??!??!
in the picture with the orange camaro, look through the back window....
plus notice how under the car, everything is completely black, in a picture that was taken in broad daylight.
also look at the rear leaf spring... and how the front of it doesn't mount to anything, and is just floating in the air.....
on the white car, the flags kinda give it away.
both of those pictures are
but pretty good photoshops i do give credit to the editor

They may be fake but the fact is they are out there and they look just like these! I saw a 70 split bumper at a Sonic all jacked up with aftermarket t tops. I really dont think the Neon is a fake but I do see what you mean on the camaro.

Ugh....I can't believe so many are willing to do that to a Camaro, or any sports car. The "*******" stigmata with Camaros is bad enough without it.
I get the worst of it, too. I own a Camaro, live in Tennessee, and work as an electrician. For some reason that is perceived as the absolute definition of a "*******" to some people. It's ridiculous.
