A little rant

My 92 z was my daily for almost 3 years from my sophmore year of highschool to my freshman year of college, I blew up the motor and got a new daily, since then ive been collecting and buying parts to build an old 383 i bought to rebuild it completely. Now im in my junior year of college my car is sitting and HAS BEEN SITTING under a car cover in a parking lot IN FLORIDA since my freshman year between me paying for my rent, and college fees i havent been able to buy more parts though i do have a nice pile of stuff already purchased. It just kills me to see my car rot away in a parking lot with little to no work, it pains me, this car is my baby. They dont talk about this type of pain in the movies. I hope soon i can rebuild her back to the glory she deserves, I just came on here to rant about my poor 3rd gen chichi, The t-tops off hair blowing in the wind days are deeply missed, but i hope those days come back soon.

Hope everyone is having a good night!

When I got into a similar situation; where my car was parked under a car port and susceptible to weather/decline....I sold it. I didn't think it was fair to the car, to let it go on in those circumstances. Later, when I was in a better situation (with a garage), I bought another one...and loved that one too!

For most, the reality is that your hair will start thinning and the days of it blowing in the wind again will be a distant memory.
