dunno about US but here in Europe you have to have your Daytime running lights on.I don't think these cars have them so you have to turn on the headlights .Well some manage to go around with parking lights on as DRL because here cops don't know the notion of parking lights

Can you run with the parking and fog lights on? much cooler then the popups and enough to be noticed by cops

No ,in some countries they even take your license for running with fog lights when there's no fog outside.Yes I hate running with the headlights out .Luckly inside cities we can drive around without any lights during the day.

He does have his headlights up for safety/Common sense in overcast skies no sun and rain (CALI getting DRENCHED in rain right now). I do the same with MY SUV(Override the DRL) and my 82 Trans am when hazardous weather is around


Better safe then sorry

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
There was a brown and rusty early Third gen Firebird (I'm guessing 84) that I saw while heading to dinner last night. It was too dark to take pictures, but I have seen it before. Don't see very often though. Every once in a great while. Looks to be some ladies daily driver. Still on the road though and I've probably seen it various time over the last 15 years.

Very tempted by this one.. Looks nice for $1000.. Interior is eh but I could get covers or new seats..

It'd probably make a fun DD.

I think people up north near PA, NJ and NY still rule the count as far as owning third gens. This are just photos I caught with in the last 2 months I would say. There really isn't much here except 5th and 6th gens. You may see a third gen more frequently limping on its last leg then a mint one. That polo green camaro had Mississippi plates on it, so it wasn't a local until recently. With my job I have the fortunate opportunities of being on the road some days and sometimes I will spot one now and again, but some days you won't. Timing has a lot to do with it too.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi




I see this RS on a regular basis parked under a shelter in Fayetteville, NC. The guy showed up later this same day at a restaurant where I was eating lunch. I talked to him about his car and he said he was on his way to enter it into the local transportation museum's exhibit honoring 50 years of the Camaro. He told me it had the H.O. TBI motor. I laughed inside, but didn't see anything to gain by correcting him.

How you know what engine the guy has? Probably more than half of these cars no longer have the original engine in them.

Wow, what a response! The guy told me it was the original TBI engine. Said his mechanic told him it was the H.O. engine according to the vin. So therefore, I didn't assume anything, nor did I act like a know it all and challenge him on it.

I ran across this 5.7 TPI Iroc in Hattiesburg over the wkend. I waited and waited hoping they would come out and I may would strike up a deal. These 3rd gens are getting very hard to come by down here and other than being dirty this car was very straight with a clean interior and appears to be a daily driver.

This was for sale a few towns over from me and I looked at it and pondered buying it I just wasn't wild for the green on a sports car. Wifes cousin wound up with it. Seems like a nice GTA.

Can I ask how much they wanted for it? Looks like a really nicely kept GTA. Personally I think the dark green with the gold crosslace wheels is one of the best colour combinations on these cars.

Like 5k but it had a salvaged title and a few other things I was suspect about. Probably still a good buy. L98, nice leather,etc..
