Got a new toy, happy and sad at the same time
My camaro only getting around 5 mpg forced me to get a new car for work. And as happy as I am to have it, the camaro will have to go to the garage for awhile as I cann't afford to pay insurence for both of them.
19 year old male driver + 2 tickets and an accident = over $300 a month insurence on just the new Firebird.
As the camaro might be sitting up to 3 years what all should I do?
Well heres a pic of it tell me what you guys think.
BTW what's a good site for 4th Gens?

oh my *** that's freaking beautiful, how much did it cost you? Check our www.camaroz28.com , I go there often, they talk about firebirds too, www.LS1tech.com (I think) also would deal with the LS1 engine.. oh man.. I want one

Thanks, I got her for $7,950. I wish it was the LS1 but its not it has the 200 Hp 3800 V6 with power everything and every option except T-tops. Whoever had it took great care of it and its nearly perfect inside and out, even smells new
It will spin the Cooper Cobras till I let off the gas. Verry good power for a V6.
I didn't even know about the 12 disk cd changer till after I bought it and found it a few hours latter. :lala:

thats sweet man!
Insurance quoted me the same for a 01 bird, $300 a month, and payments of $305. Yah right!
So I got the 92 Camaro, with liability only.

Well even though it's not an ls1, www.ls1.com is a great site, and there's even a low 12 sec v6 on there 
congrats, I'm hoping to have two f-bodies by time I'm 19 but it's not looking too good
hehe

A good site for fourth gens is MotorSportConnect.com; it's not f-body only but there are quite a few of us 4th-gen owners on there.
Enjoy the new ride, but don't forget about your thirdgen!

I really wanted a 2002 Trans Am WS6 and I hope that I can get one in a few years, but I guess I could always do an LS1 swap.
But the V6 in here feels like it has more power then the 350 in my Pace car.
Thank for all the great links guysWhat all should I do to the camaro as it may be setting for a while?
