Nice cars and welcome.

IMO those types of T/A's are the best looking ones, right next to the 77's

Re: new guy! not a thirdgen but...

No offense, but to be a member and hang with a thirdgen club, you need to have a 3rd gen F-body car.

So hurry out and get one and join us. LOL

Re: new guy! not a thirdgen but...

There was no "hate" in that post, you're welcome to come here and chat with us anytime you like.

You guys shouldn't read things into a post that isn't there.

PS
Please, before starting a war of words here, please respect the fact that this is a "3rd gen club" not an "all" gen club.

Good concept. Not everyone can afford or perhaps have the circumstances to own a ThirdGen. It would seem to me productive to encourage other people to develop an interest in these unique automobiles. Perhaps there might be some sort of "associate" membership where non-owners would find acceptance.

No, all he was saying is that it's a third gen specific club, not a camaro (in general) club.

Hey...I don't make the rules

For all you newbies....the rules are posted at the top of the forum, before you make negative comments, you should read them.

"If it doesn't contain 3rd gen content, it doesn't belong here"

That's not hate, that's just facts.

Re: new guy! not a thirdgen but...

i don't know about that one Don...lets just say that i had no third gen but was thinking of buying one would you still feel the same then? would you still say NO you have to have a third gen? i don't think thats right. i feel as long as you have interest in them and want to know more about them then sites like these are a perfect start...telling someone they cant be affiliated because they have no third gen is not kool ...just my own 02 cents

Try reading what I really said .....not what you think I said!

"There was no "hate" in that post, you're welcome to come here and chat with us anytime you like.

You guys shouldn't read things into a post that isn't there."

All I was pointing out was, this site has rules, but I don't make them.

If you have fault with that, take it up with the administrators.

Re: new guy! not a thirdgen but...

This is a Third Gen board. The rules are that posts on this board have Third Gen content. Many of the guys posting on this board are from a So Cal Third Gen club. Don was kidding in the post about getting a Third Gen to join us, and he clarified it when thin skinned people jumped to the wrong conclusions. The club members like Third Gens, but we don't require everyone coming to a meet or meeting own or bring a Third Gen. We have had guys show up with G-body cars, 4th gens, and a new GTO. If you are civil and friendly, you are welcome to participate.

Actually Russ, we DO require members to own a thirdgen to show up at meetings and events. Those members that have shown up in 4th gens or other cars also have thirdgens at home that are currently down for repair or upgrade. This club was started by a thirdgenner who was tired of the typical 4th genner attitude that thirdgens are slow and ugly. This website is all about thirdgens as well, and the admins generally do not allow non-thirdgen discussions.

No we cant stop you from posting here, as long as you follow the rules. But our meetings and events are thirdgen only. I post on LS1tech and CamaroZ28.com and such to find out about events that are for all f-bodies or all cars so I can let us thirdgenners know. I'm afraid if we start allowing 4th gens or other cars into our club it will turn into another 4th gen love fest and hate for thirdgens.

If you're interested in owning a thirdgen, have plans to purchase one and need info on what to buy, you're more than welcome to stay.

I've owned and driven both generations, so I really don't care.

What kind of wheels are on the Teal Z? I can ask about wheels, can't I?

Re: new guy! not a thirdgen but...
