First off, I just want to say nice ride and congrats on the sweet deal. Not a huge fan of custom paint jobs, I usually lean more towards stock combos, but it looks good. And for a great price.

Secondly, i would be hugely thankful for a mom that is ok if not supportive of an f-body addiction. That is very kool, and for that I would be a bit of a momma's boy myself. Unfortunatly I had no such luck, both of my parents fought me every inch and minute over mine. They are both the type of people who view cars as a way to get from here to there, anything more is a waste. That was a major reason why my 18th birthday was also the day I moved out. Even now over ten years later they still try to pick fights over it. Guess I am just trying to say count your blessing, and I don't blame you for being a bit of a mamma's boy. In your shoes I would be.

 

oh yeah, my two cents on some aftermarket wheels: some chrome 17" or 18" IROCs would really set if off! IMO.

 

Kids today have everything. When I was 16 .... I couldn't in wildest dreams imagine having a car like that. By the way , my top will be installed on Monday a week from today. I will post the pictures that night.

Then again when I was 16 the year was only 1980. The 3rd gen hadn't even been invented yet. LOL

 

Well see it was peruading the mom was the hardest part. My dad was all for it. His first car was a '71 Hemi Cuda and he wanted me to have a nice car. At first my mom was like, "No. You are getting dads truck (2004 Dodge 3500 Laramie Cummins 6 inch suspension lift)" I was VERY cool with that. It's a 60,000 dollar truck why shouldn't I? But dad sat there shaken his head laughing. :P Then she had a definite no on her head to the camaro. And I am the kinda of person that beleives anything is possible if you can set your mind to it. Can't is not in my library. So I proposed this GPS thing that tells them how fast I am going, where I am, measures Geforce and best of all calls the cops and gives them my location when I go over 100 MPH. Lol. I'm not racing or doing anything stupid to risk the life of my baby or my life so I could care less. Now granted I can't sneak out but I couldn't anyway. I start my camaro up and that 3" American Thunder Exhaust wakes China up Lol.

Mom was completely against the Convertible but once again, if theres a will there's a way. I offered the roll bar idea and she was fine with that. Lol.


This is mostly true but I am exempt. Granted my parents are wealthy. BUT they said, "If you want to drive you better save cause we are not putting a dime in." I was fine with that. Started saving money since I was 13. 3 years later I have 4 grand saved up. Bought my first car (1955 Dodge C1) for 3 grand. Had a change of thought on restoring it then sold it for 3500. Then I found my beloved 1991 White RS. Paid 1500 for it. Then found this blue one for 2500 so now I am kinda sorta broke but not really cause I still have some money. I am selling my white one soon for 3000 so I am happy. :P

I want some pictures bad!!! I am still prepping mine. I want to make sure that it gets done right the first time with no leeks or peels lol.
