Some pics before I put the camaro away for a long time

This was my first car and my daily driver most of the seven years until now. But I just graduated and that means I need a bigger reliable car to get around the country. Love this car and every minute spent repairing it, but I'm putting the camaro away until I can settle down and do a full restoration. Who knows when that will be but one day it will be something really awesome







The replacement car

You'll be thankful that you didn't sell it.

There are some good storage threads on here btw. Plenty of tips for how to keep it fresh for x number of years.

I think you should keep driving it until you fix it up. Any reason behind letting it sit until its ready for a redo? You could still enjoy it here and there

It was breaking down about every two weeks with small items and costing too much for parts, insurance, gas etc... But mostly I am about to move about the country and wont necessarily have a garage or tools.
