Webshots is always doing that.

Its Third Gen for me. Its my favorite car and I want to always have 1 and always will. If I find that IROC-Z, I will always have it. For now its an RS.

Not really sure. I love GOOD LOOKING thirdgens, but I love the new look of the WS6 and you can't beat a LS1 to play with. Its a tough call. All I can say is that I will be GM Performance for life.

For Life....

All of my other cars were stepping stones! :-D

I waited a looong time to get my car and I will never sell it!! Mine for life.... I passed up a lot of cars in order to find my IROC. In the future I would like to get a 2000-2002 Pontiac Trans AM (WS6 with the LS1) as well. I think it would look good next to my IROC

The attached pic says it all! hehe

Im the first to vote for stepping stone. My car is hanging on its last thread, and has soooo many miles on it. It has a carbed 2.8 and the car is in such rough shape that it would be pointless to do an engine swap. This car is going to help me raise cash so I can buy a 1991 Z28 and restore it. The Z28 however, I will be keeping for the rest of my life, provided nothing happens to it.

I've had three so far and I dont intend to get rid of this one! I guess the third time is the charm!

- 86 Camaro Z28

My 85 Camaro, I will keep this "my first fix up" 4 ever,but it is a stepping stone to get other 3rd gen camaros.My hope is finding a 90 IROC with t's and restoring it too.And other 3rdgens to fix up too

I've owned my '86 since new, and now have an '88 IROC, and plan to get a teal '92 Z28 convert, so I guess I have to say it is For Life.
