I love the black! And I gotta say, your winter beater doesn't look half-bad either. I always feel somewhat like an old pensioner in my caddy. Heh.

The CL sounds great,Is luxurious and has *****, but out of
all honesty, I got used to the lowseating in the camaro, and those imports are always sit a a bit high ..

But .. The Z'd not forgotten ..

It'll be back, and better

Even there, it's probably a good idea to pack it in for a bit. Probably depends on where you are out there. As for me, I'll never see LA again.

Interesting sign in background, ESSO at 87.9 a gallon. How old is that picture? Hate winter around here too, road salt is the enemy.

Well, I guess in a way, its good putting it away.
You just see things in a diffrant perspective.
Like past & futur investments, regrets, experiences ..

Having the car away, and planning futur mods, I see rust & paint job, suspension, exhaust, maybe a few interior pieces ..

Tho if the car would still be here, id drive it and then say,
hmm ... needs more power LOL

68 cents a liter ? Got to refuel the CL, wish me luck

Yeah, we put up with cold and snow, but no emissions testing, license plates at $45 a year, insurance for about 250 a year, haven't seen a traffic jam in several months. Now if we just had some decent jobs in this part of the country.

what about all of us who can't store our cars and have to drive them(carefully of course) in the snow sleet and ice.

Feel sorry for us who have soiled themselves in this situation.

My mommy does my laundry feel sorry for her. JK

Maybe it's just me, but in that pic, the nose has a green glow to it... that looks sweet as hell. If you paint the car again, have them base it black, and then green clear... WOW would that look sweet!!

Tho ill take that into concideration.

nice car man! after the couple inches of snow i just got this morning im cancelling the insurance and putting my z down for winter too

i too cant wait til spring but luckily i just got a vr6 jetta so my daily driver wont be as bad to drive. its pretty damn quick!

but one thing i realized.....i think thirdgen owners collectivly have more daily drivers than any other car group! that shows how much we love our cars, even if they are like mine and arent show class it seems people have a daily driver for their camaro/firebird!

Maybe thats because 3rd gens have a sportier suspension than the competition ?

I lost my 1st 3rd gen ('87 Iroc G92) during winter so ...

The 3rd gen is the only sports car of that era with a modern sporty look, handeling, and the muscle to back it up ..

ps- Ive herd bad things about volks like electical problems, hope you dont run into any
