Re: Rare sight down south
That's awesome! -especially that ya'll are friends, and kept the same interest in cars!!!! ....ya know, I remember the dark days of never seeing a thirdgen, and when ya did it was a pile of crap barely road legal, and not driven by someone who actually cares. While it's still not everyday, I do see nice examples a lot more than say, 15 years ago. -and it's nice knowing that they're most likely driven by someone who at least cares about the car, if not an actual thirdgen nut like us!

Re: Rare sight down south
That is really cool! Hope you guys keep in touch and attend more shows together. It's a rare site here in SoFlo also to see more than one third gen at a show, hell usually there are none. Even on the road I haven't seen one in ages, unless it's my best friend of 57 years black 92' Z28. We have known each other since about the age of 2 and went to high school together. Just last year we had our 40 year reunion and we both drove our cars, It was the hit of the reunion!

Re: Rare sight down south
I recently sold my '88 GTA. In the entire 7+ years that I owned it, I saw exactly two third gen Firebirds. I live in South Carolina. Those two were both owned by my mechanic and were always parked at his garage. I never even saw one at a car show.
I also only saw a couple of third gen Carmaros over the years here.

Thats really awesome. Ive only had mine a few weeks, and the community is pretty awesome so far. Always cool to see the different way people like to make these older cars their own.
