Am I old school or what?
I'm only 19 years old but I'm getting the feeling that I'm super old school when I look at what people are actually putting on there cars. http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=158889
Don't laugh, but does anybody know anybody that put this on there car? If so could you honesly ask them why they would buy something like that. The only cars I've ever seen with wings like that are on funny (pun intended) cars.
I like it clean but I'm starting to see how out dated I am when all of a sudden I look at a dealer parking lot and all the cars start looking a like in too many ways. I'm not saying I don't like the looks of the new cars but there is no character to them. Maybe it's just me but I don't think I'll ever be able to buy a new car let alone get attached to one. Anybody else feel the same way or what? Does everybody like the new camaro headlights? I think one of the reasons I liked the camaro so much was the inset headlights (reason I don't like 2nd gen too much). Oh well, just wondering what everybody else thought on the subject.

That wing would be very understandable on say... a chevette 
I don't like the new headlights... I like the 3rdgens the best... why? Because A: They look nice, B: They're also the brightest an F-Body has ever had (the Firebird headlights are weak as hell though)...
Hell... you thought you were hold school... I'm trying to find a replacement frontend for my 83Z when everyone else says go 85+ ... BAH!! hehehe I like my 83 nose!! lol

I'd say that I like EVERY aspect of the Third Gens best. The body style seems to combine a modern look with the look of the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's.
As for not liking or becomming attached to a new car- check out my daily driver. At 170 horses from a v6, I love this car!

As far as the headlights.. no way.. they take the sportiness away from the camaro... 3rd gen and 4th gen 93-97's are the best.. 3rd gen of course being a little bit better
