Yeah, the backseat thing aint happenin, we have all probably learned that the hard way. Im not gonna say never to the hood, because there are different levels of hottness.

Try to get one perfectly straight again and we will see how long that 'never say never' attitude lasts.

haha....you guys are all so SILLY!

Our promenade is outside so that gives me plenty of time for my Flowmasters to be heard, well as long as my date/girlfriend would allow! My best friend had an old silverado that sounded really nice...but it was louder than my car. Anyway, we are wating to be valet parked, and while we were revving the engines a lady comes over and yells at us that we are going to scare horses that were pulling a buggy that just arrived, and that the horses will "run all over your little car" Anyway, so I get out to open my girlfriends door. When another of my friends' dad gets in to take my car...he chirps the tires! I saw him the next day and he said he didn't know it had such a sensitive accelerator pedal All in all, I had a blast that night!

And why do you think our cars have T-tops???


That's why Chevy doesn't care they leak they just assume they're off..


Hmm.. Still sad I can't take mine to prom, and the girl is too. Oh well, next year will be sweet...


I love my car...
Like that Meguiars commercial... You might be a car nut if you talk ablout your car more than your girlfriend..

92MaroRS - I live by Ottumwa, so it is by no means a short drive for me to see her sometimes.

Well, i don't know if I would do that. She's pretty understanding, and MUCH more rational about spending money than I.

Either way, if your planning on coming up this way, make sure you get ahold of me, weather you've got the camaro or not!

My god that's a lot of emoticons.



Ah, I remember my prom. I remember looking out the window down at this Ferrari 360 Spyder parked in front of a Lambo Diablo. I musing about how strange the Diable looked from above. Then this dirty philipino guy comes out with his hand in his pocket and I see the Diablo's parking lights flash. He opens the door and takes a jacket out. Then starts walking down the street. The parking lights flash again. Then he fumbles around and gets out some keys and the Ferrari's lights flash, he gets in and takes off.
