ok so it may be a small thing but it totally made my day (I just recently got the car...).

Driving back from Burger King (with my lunch), a Focus pulls up next to me and rolls down the window and says "nice car!"

I'm totally not used to stuff like that. :P But it made my day...I smiled, waved and said "thanks!"

Anyways, just thought I'd share that...not bad for a 20yr old car that needs a lot of lovin ^_^

(BTW: hi from Spokane, WA)

 

I dig seeing thirdgen's on the road. Doesn'teven matter what condition they're in -- I'm staring. Always wonderin' do I know him/her ? does it look stock ? whats it's sound like ?

A complementary nod of the head always seems to get the idea across. You should see some of the looks I get giving the thumbs-up to beat-up thirdgens in an red 2000 'vette. lol.

Sweet ride BTW. Love the hood.

 

sure he wasnt make fun of your car Washingtonian


lol just kidding

 

i demand pics.

 

Here you go.

Welcome to the forum, brutha!

 

so you must be the other guy from washington that Krazzycowgirl's posts are directed too..
couldn't she keep it to pm's...

 

go to your own JK


called
CASCADE REGION
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/for...ne=&forumid=29

 

It was really more of a TGO welcome than anything.

Dork!

 

owned, bish!

 

Yeah, that's a great feeling...

You're in Spokane eh? I'm in Post falls, I'll have to watch for your car whenever I'm over there... That would be cool.

 

hehe perhaps...though I have no idea who she is :P

thanks ^_^ the decal is kinda peelin but it will get a new application when I get some body work done and fix it up ^_^

hehe yes, I keep my eyes open for other third gens...then I start wondering "are they on thirdgen.org too?"

Post Falls...not far indeed! (some of my co-workers are from around there)

@porkyzilla: oh I didn't see that...the question is....which one does WA really belong to? since we kinda fit both categories :P

 

Don't mind Porky or Traviz,they were abused as kids. Welcome to the boards.That's a nice t/a.Does it have the l69( high output motor),I believe the 8th letter,number in the vin would be g if it is and the letter h if it isn't.

 

yup it does...all the evidence (VIN, working cowl, etc) seems to point that way at least from what I've read. (feels fast too but then again, that's probably 'cause it's my first V8...before that I drove mostly the Chrysler Minivan my family has (with a 3.8L V6 rice eater...nothing so satisfying than pwning a ***** at the light...with a minivan ^_^)

I'm still learning a lot about cars and everything about them (I'm a computer guy by trade). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

If you are looking for a good upgrade in power,I had the same year t/a with the same motor and 5 speed and I put in a new cam,edelbrock performer intake and a 600 cfm electric choke edelbrock carb,Accel distributer and it really woke it up.Add some 3.42 gears and you'll be satisfied.It was faster han my 87 t/a and my mustang.

 

dropped on our heads get it right

 

codemonk84 , They are talking about me I am also in washington state.

Welcome to the board

 

hehe yes, I saw your name (went and looked it up when they mentioned it)...though I doubt you had me specifically in mind with most of your posts

and thanks ^_^ such a warm welcome

 

Nope I am personally tired of being forced out of a board that says West coast. Just because they think they own it when they dont.

There is a couple car clubs out in this area that you can join with help. Now I am not a Cascade crew person but they are a pretty good bunch of kids you could also come over to
here & ask some questions.

 

are they picky that I'm not a camero? or do they consider us pontiac types close enough?

 

Nah, nothing to do with the car you drive - they want thier own regional board, and so far - for whatever reasons the site admins have - it ain't happenin'.

So they're taking it upon themselves to be rude and make people not wanna post here in an attempt to 'own' this board.

 

The Pnwcc site is Camaro's but we will welcome Firebirds as well. That is our club site.

As for the cascade crew yes they are 3rd gen Fbodies.
Thier website is here

 

Yea I really its ticking me off because of their rudness but I am dealing with it in my own way.

I mean it doesnt cost but a $100 or so for two years for web service & it doesnt take a mathquiz to do it.

My husband did it with both our club's website & adding a forum plus lots of other goodies & our personal website. & he is a AirCraft Mech in the Air Force Reserves.

 

My apologies for the rudeness of some of the west coast guys,not all of us are like that.Make yourself at home and have a good time.

 

Thanks. Mostly what I post is local shows going on here. We do have a big All Camaro & Chevy show coming up in July that we are hoping to have guys from all over the us plus maybe even Scott Settlemire at (depending on his stuff).

 

thats the only thing that really irritates me is the posting about events in washington, and the majority here is mainly cali people. i dont mind if your posting just to talk **** with us.

 

ah...I see I found some of the drama that happens whenever people get together :P

I'll poke around the club site, thanks Krazzycowgirl

and thanks everyone for the really warm welcome

hopefully once I learn a thing or two I can contribute

 

Why you guys are welcome to come up for the weekend & come to our events we havent told you ya cant. But you also got to remember there are others on this board that live in Oregon & washington. & this is a West coast board Not Calif. board.

 

ya right travel in a thirdgen from cali? and make it thier? lol

 

Yea next year when my car is ready I am driving mine to Reno. My brother in laws car made it from Washington to Reno year before last with out any problems & it was hauling a trailer as well.

 

lol does the camaro have a tow hitch?

 

Yeppers it was a 90 RC V8 Vert one of 729 V8 Verts made that year.

 

RC? whats that

 

sorry RS

 

wasnt sure, thanks

i was kinda thinking.. maybe its an Remote Control car? lol

 

You shouldn't be so surprised at the comment, you got a clean looking '84 there!

Welcome to TGO

 

my car came from San Francisco...driven all the way up to Spokane (which is straight up I-5 to about portland...then nearly a straight shot east and a slight jog north into WA from OR)

and thanks vindeezl ^_^

 

I am so easily amused...while driving around, I had two, that's right...two girls look straight at me and smile or wave.

The first one was in a car seat...looked about 4, maybe 3. I looked over and there she was staring straight at me. I smiled and she smiled back.

Second incident, driving down sprague, I'm behind a slightly older white blazer. There's a teenager in the back seat, again staring straight at me (I was looking elsewhere, when I looked up I saw her smiling and noding her head). I smile at her and chuckle. Before the light turns green, another white firebird (early 90's model, similar to mine but newer with body molding and such), pulls up. The girl points it out to the driver, who looked to be her mom (I think?).

So yeah...I found those two incidents highly amusing.

I feel like spluging today so I'm gonna fill up with premium and see how the car runs with that. *grin*
---------------

dang, I'm still not used to that kind of attention...even if one of the girls was only 4 max. :P (hey! she has good taste at that age )

 

i'm hoping that's a typo

also, i haven't been on the boards much for the past year or so. i was surprised to see the drama about the regional boards. the bottom line is that these aren't our boards. someone else is providing them for us. they are in no way obligated to cater to anyones desires. i've met most of the cali guys involved and have enjoyed spending time with them at various meets... good kids. having said that, i was a little ashamed over all of the ruckus. we're all here for the same basic reason: our love for these cars. the oregon and washington folks have my full support (as if that's worth much).

codemonk84, for some reason, the pics posted in jun don't show up for me... are there more recent pics? i've had similar situations. on one such occasion, a couple of teenaged girls smiled and waved at me at an intersection. i felt totally embarrased... i'm 38.

 

got a "Nice car" by a dude who had one new back in 85, he got tboned in it in 94

 

 

So do I I am 31 going on 32 ( in a couple months)

 

yeah that's a typo (whops!)...I meant splurging...as in spending excess from the norm. :P

and my most recent pics are kept up in a little gallery:
