well i never thought i'd say this but with the gas prices the way they are and probably going up even more, im thinking of selling my car. i mean i love it to death but what is the point of having it when i cant enjoy it? today it cost me 35 bucks to fill up the tank with the cheap ****! right now im forced to ride my motorcycle even tho its fun and all but i have a long commute to and from work so i dunno what to do. car looks nice, has new rims and even wanna get it painted. but it sux that all i can pretty much do is look at it and not drive it. anyone else thinking of giving it up? i dont even take it out on weekends anymore b/c am afraid to waste the gas. i hate this feeling! u take care of something so much, try and make it look nice, but cant even enjoy it and u have no control over this situation.

i ride my bike as much as i can, however i just got my car all redone and won't sell it just because gas is going back up, it can sit in the garage and not eat anything.

KEEP YOUR CAR... don't let the government scare everybody out of driving their 3rd gen cars

gas prices make it hard to drive anything i mean $20 to fill a bike i also have a chevy Z71 pick up $50 + to fill it. i ride the harley on nice days the truck on nasty days and my ta only on nice days or for shows which ever is first. but DON'T sell your car

Watch when Bush and Chaney leave the gas will go down! Those bastards. And yes Kerry was not any better than them.
Wow, I get really pissed since I have to run 91 all the time. However, I have TBI and baby its paying off!

well since min ehas been torn down for a while.....lol i wont sell it especailly for gas prices infact i plan on driving the hell out of it this summer

Never, I love my car so much that I really don't care about gas prices anymore. But do keep in mind that they will go back down again.

/edit:
Im sorry, but this comment is very, well, poorly thought out. The president has nothing to do with the gas prices, never has, never will. This has been proven time and time again, so quit blaming him for something he has no control over.

i'm not sellin'. no if ands or buts, though i do plan to pick up another 3rdgen, hopefully a v6/5spd/ttop car for daily driving.

Thank you....keep the politics out of it, or it'll get sour quick


Gas prices wont get me to sell the car...MN has had the nation's lowest prices for sometime now (not sure if we are still lower than the national avg or not anymore)....but it's not nearly as bad as the coasts....I really feel for you all

....not gas prices....but med school fees - that'll be what does mine in

35 bucks to fill up my tank... that would be sweet. I'm looking at 45-50 euros to fill up my cheapo Opel. Nevermind the Trans am... prices are like $6 per gallon here.

hell I don't plan on driving my car any less.. perhaps I might think twice about driving it more, but certinally not any less.

Hi, i leave in france and i have a 1991 z28 camaro 305.
Do you know the price of the gaz here ?
It's 1,30 € the liter !!! so do the calcul, the camaro had a 70 liter gaz tank it's 90 € to fill it up !
90€ = 110$ !
The USA had a lot of chance for the gaz price....

Most people in the USA don't understand that even at $5.00 a gallon, we are still cheaper than most of the world. It does hurt because it didn't go up with inflation, it just shot up in the past few years.

Don't sell the car because of something like fuel prices. If you do, you will not ever own a car with raw muscle again, you will be driving a prius for the rest of your life.

NEVER!!!!! I don't care if gas goes over 4 bucks a gallon I will never sell my baby!!!!

I don't care if it costs a $100 to fill up my tank. I won't sell it, I'll just drive it less!

haha ya gas prices are rediculous. BUT not making me sell my baby! Instead i'm swapping in an LS1/T56. 25mpg shouldnt be a problem with 2 overdrives And I no i'll still have the itch to go fast so whats the solution? A supercharger! Drive around on motor, 25mpg, punch it and the blower takes over. Adding big heads and big cam will make driveability worse and gas milage worse so my vote goes to turbo or supercharger, maybe a mild cam and mild heads, 500-600rwhp is still achievable dont let gas make u sell it!

Best to buy two cars and only use the firebird during summer. Well assuming you got seasons. Even so thats what I do.

The sad thing is that the government will never step in and do anything about oil prices because they all get a kickback from sales and control of most of the oil in the world. Something you should all know is that if you look back and study, you will notice that 70% of the wars we have been involved in off of our own soil had to do with oil. Its something you should realize about our government. They want to have total control over the oil industry. And it is not going to just effect gas and oil prices, everything that is shipped by truck will go up in price. The everyday items we use everyday will get more expensive.

Hell no, gas prices are teh reason I bought my Z-28.....it gets 20-21 mpg in town, 32-34 highway as long as
I don't drive like a butthead. Beats the holy heck outta my truck (1987 R-30 4 door, 454) getting 6-7.....

You could always buy an Iron Duke powered fbody.

I'm not planning on selling my car. In fact the only reason I've spent any money in it (to fix it back up to tip top shape) is because it's a 4 cylinder and it gets the best gas mileage of all my vehicles.

It costs me about 25-30 to fill it up but I go much longer between fill ups.

When I bought this car in 1998, I never thought I'd really be loving the fact its a four cylinder.

I've contemplated pulling the 4 for an 8 on numerous occasions. Thankfully I never did.

bill, i'd love to have a four banger car, but would really love a sixer right now so i can keep street miles off my hotrod.

Hell no im not selling it. i love the car way way too much to sell it. even with 12 mpg im not selling

There's some reading for you; now shut the hell up before you post some false bull**** opinion that has no fact to back it up - I know that it's off topic, but **** it if he's going to run his mouth and claim our troops are fighting for oil - too many of my friends have died already and it was not over oil.

that is a big HELL NO!!!!! I die owning this car. I want to be 85 years old doing burnouts as long as I can still get parts to keep it running. in fact when I die I want a burnout solute from the car as they lower me into the ground hahahahahaha

Nope!
I got a six!

George

lol I always thought it'd be great to have my ashes put into a tank of gas and have the car go down the track.....might get kinda gunky in the engine, but what do I care - Im gone

Not selling mine, plus I only drive it once a week my daily driver is a 4 banger Ranger

yall think thats bad... our suburban we just sold b/c of gas prices was about $100-120 to fill it slam full. it had the 40 gallon tank. and i no longer drive my car to school i ride with my bro and home with my girl, lol im such a mooch.

I just leave mine under the cover and let it sit. I will only go to a few shows in my area if gas is too high. Ive only started my car once since last August and its perfectly running car(knock on wood).

Sell the Camaro? Nah...Im looking forward to finally get a break on the gas budget once I can take it out for the season My daily driver Tahoe cost around $200 to fill up when completely empty - and I swear the gas runs straight through that ****..!

Save some money and get a daily driver (even if it's dirt cheap). My daily is a 2.8 carbed, great gas mileage.

I got 20mpg driving my car 100 miles to the track and making 6 passes down the quarter mile with it.

So no, i won't be selling it anytime soon

Hell no! Its my baby
