My famliy's third gen driveway...

Just thought I'd share the two Camaro's we've got, I've mentioned and asked about both of them, they both look like lemons but they're reliable, though the black one is having issues, think it's fuel starved. Both are 1992 Camaro RS's, red is auto, originally a 5 speed, previous owner took it out, wouldn't go into reverse or a few other gears. Black one is a 5 speed with T tops and a V6.

We've had the red one for about a year, put about 7k miles on it, paid $850 for it, only had to put a dis coil and some free junkyard tires on it, the ones that where on it where so FUBAR'd, I'm surprised they made it home without a flat. I wish I had a picture of the ones that where on it, they where so bald, they where practically slicks.

Black one we got on the road over the summer, it's having issues, chugging, loosing power, not sure why, have to look into that. Got it wrecked, most of the front end isn't original.

Red one has an auto in it now though, 700R4 I think, might be a 200, dunno. Gonna get a T5 to put back in it soon as I can, was a factory 5spd, from Kansas

Black one has T tops, under 140k miles, red one has just at 150k miles. Both of 'em aren't easy on the eyes, black one may get a paint job if my brother has his way, red one probably won't. Car was bought new by the previous owners mother here in the valley, got the dealer sticker for it, my father submitted the RPO codes a good while back. Evidently a 1992 or 1991 V6 5 speed with T tops, painted black, is rare.

Red one is mine, black one is my brothers, and yes, that is a fiberglass hood on my '92, no, of course it's not factory, it just looks like it is 'cause it has as much paint as the rest of the car, which is to say, not much.

Plus there is a a 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, a 1989 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser (Wrecked, don't drive it), and a a 1999 Dodge Caravan (My uncles, we don't drive it, got it 'cause the tags and inspection expired, city would've taken from him if we didn't)

And the Fiero you might've noticed, it's for sale, 1985 Fiero GT, 80k some odd original miles, V6, 4 speed stick, power windows, everything works but it's got a leaky heater core, so we bypassed it. Who drives a Fiero in the winter anyway?

Re: My famliy's third gen driveway...

Yeah the previous owners son ran it through a picket fence... The valiance / air splitter / useless body kit piece which only serves to be murdered by everything taller than a pebble.

Anyway, it was barely hanging on, and we had to take it off to put another grill on the car, which is when it fell in two, so we never put it back on.

It's kind of annoying that 1991-92 had a different body kit with those strange "Vents", supposed to cool the brakes, in reality they just fill up with dirt and are a pain to clean out.

Anyway, I haven't had any luck at finding a front trim piece, and if you notice the hood ornament is broken too, it was intact, but someone tried to steal it and broke it off.
