Thanks

That's my 15 year old son, following me home, from just buying that car.

I'm very proud of him, for having the same taste in cars as myself, but more so, that he has been working all summer to buy that car,, himself Payed in full

Black cars are defintely going to rule this thread Always loved that pic IROCThe5.7L, its hard to forget once you see it! My $3000 paint job doesn't reflect as much as I'd prefer but it looks good.

Not a 3rd gen, but an Fbody none the less. My IROC isn't as shiny. but I still like it. This was/remains my first car. Hopefully the 396 will be finished over the winter and she'll be back on the road for next summer.

Here's the only reflection shot I have, not very insane. My paint is not in very good condition, results of daily driving.

ok I'll play too with my orange peel paint, lol. My stock polished rims sure throw some light too

I know I know... in the spring I'll try and wet sand it, if I can get over my fear of ruining it.
