That's cool! I wonder if I could talk my dad into getting rid of the Caddy and getting a Bird? I doubt it.

I don't like that front end or the thick side GFX, but they are nice clean cars.

I would agree that the 91-92 Firebird style is either a love it or hate it thing. Of course I love it as do many others....I think the thing I like most about it is the "cat eye" openings in the front bumer, especially when your fog lights are on. I think the newer Corvettes are very similar to the 91-92 style as well.

I also like the ground effects because out fo the thirdgen F-cars, they are really the only ones that are curved, and they look modern to me, even by todays desing standards.

Don't get me wrong though, I love all the 87-92 styles. I wish I could afford to have one from every year.
