I still have that sticker on my 88.

Who are these motor heads?

Tom abandoned the domain name a long time ago. If anyone is feeling REALLY nostalgic they could snag it. IMO we need to buy it and ammend the name of the club so the sticker on my RS is current. I seem to recall some discussion about the decals fading in the sunlight. Mine is still OK, how many years later?

Oh yea, while were being nostalgic. Remember when a Member with a couple of ThirdGen Camaros posted under the name GPL? What ever happened to him? lol

Haha, talk about a trip in the way-back machine.

I still have the sound file Mauro made of my car on the dyno that day.

injdinjn - Your right. Was that the first year?
This is from the morning after.

I think this was the year of the crash that needed 4 big dudes to sit on the back of the truck to get enough traction to pull the 4th gen out of the ditch.

Yeah, the summer BBQ was when Kevin decided that your street needed to be oiled.

I have pics from that party, too:

http://para.noid.org/~thresher/images/albums/072801/

My sticker on my hatch has faded beyond recognition. Lae still posts on nethirdgen.org but I havent seen him since he went 13.99 at Fontana a few years ago. I still have the WAV files from that dyno day too, where the 92 Camaro got low HP award with 150 RWHP. I still have the certificate.

You know, this really should have been posted on our club board, since its non-tech.
