Its only a 2 car garage.... Its a 2 storey house...haha im confused.....But I convinced my dad to extend the driveway so i can park there

I paid 3000 for the car, then right from the guys house i went to mopac....bought a brand new holley 670 street avenger, air cleaner, and have a polished intake on hold. Then Off to A&B sounds to buy a 12" PUNCH p2 subwoofer to go with my existing mtx amp Im having fun haha.

And yeah, I do mean Horay! lol, just found it funny I was to excited to think hahah.

Ill get some day time pics one of these days, maybe when i get bored of driving it.....which doesnt seem to be happening

Edit: Sadly Im selling the white one, shes been fun, as you can see here http://www.forshockdesign.net/83camaro83.wmv

awesome dude! but if i were you the first things i would do is repaint it one solid color (preferably the same color i really like it) and get some rims other than that it looks awesome. I also don't see how people have two thirdgens, i have enough problems keeping my car in good repair and continuing to mod one much less two, but if you can do it more power to you.

I think its a good idea to sell the white one and mod up the blue one. I say change the rims, the 15's just aren't doing it. Some 16" IROC's would look alot better.

Hahah thats funny I to just got a 2nd third gen a few weeks ago, with a 350, and t-tops, WC T-5, SFC's, ls1 tank, 96 maro 3.42 limit slip. The plans are get a set of AFR 195 heads and stealth ram then maybe paint. Doesnt look as nice as yours These things are like a drug! The one I had for 4 years on the right, the newly purchased on the left.

haha right on man Your right, these cars are addicting I wouldnt quite say mine are that nice, Ill get some day pics and then you will see the bit of rust Looks like you have a few sweet rides though, but theres one problem......they arent camaros

hmmurdock_00 - No you dont wish you had 2....I just graduated high school, and thought I could maintain them both.....I was wrong. The white one currently has some battery issuse that i can figure out, and the blue one is just to hard NOT to put money into.....haha


CrazyHawaiian - I have defiantely given that thought, but it wont be for a while. Winter is coming around the corner and it looks like the blue one is gonna be the driver Since the white barely runs But yeah, All proceeds from the white are going towards the blue

phoenix305 - I never liked stripes before, but they grew on me and WOW this thing is a head turner. So I think if i do repaint it, it would end up looking the same.....Its really grew on me in the few days I have had it

Thanx for all the nice/not negative comments
