Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Here's my 94 Jimmy, it's my first car which I got from my grandpa when I got my license back in August 2008; he bought the thing brand new back in 1994. It never saw this kind of treatment when it was still with him lol

My Trans Am:

I don't have a picture of the Jimmy and the TA together though. However it looks like the Jimmy will be gone in a few weeks because the TA is my daily driver now with the warm weather. I'm gonna buy a new(er) winter car in a few months.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Another fullsize here; for me it's my 1989 GMC Sierra C1500. It's my new daily driver; I use it in rain and bad weather, and for school (I refuse to take my Firebird into my school's parking lot on weekdays!) It has a 350, 5-speed and 3.42 rear, so it's not completely lacking for power either 
No pictures of them together yet, but here they are individually:

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
birds the best......i looked at a 98 xj before i got my truck, it had alot of cash thrown into it and was a toy with a 6 in lift, 35;s upgraded suspension and had alot of performance mods thrown at the 318, leather interior, safari rack and spare tire rack etc. fluids were always changed, but the killer was that it was almost completely used offraod its whole life, not sure if passing it up was a bad idea or not

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
There is a parking lot of vehicles in the front where I live.. only my Camaro belongs to me. The old ford Escort (which has been loaned out) used to be mine years ago, also the same guy owns a 90 base Firebird, his cousin owns the old Dodge Power Ram (looks like a Nissan) and an 80s F150 thats been drove hard and put away wet which belongs to the guy here who dont have a car of his own.
My car is on car ramps, and its hard to get all these together in one picture, since people come an go like its the movies and all this is spread out several dozen feet!
Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
The rear or the car is flaired as you can see, it has 295's in the back, 235's in the front

Yes, it's not cheap by any means and everything from 87 up has road tax on it too, most are about 100$ per month in road tax and insurance varies.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
how's this?

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's a Ford. But it got me through winter, even ploughed through 4 foot snowbanks that an ******* snowplough operator hired by the adjacent building kept piling up in my alley. Stopped doing that after I smashed one of those things right back at him with the truck while he was making it.
Hence the bent bumper
