missing a 3rd gen in my life...

Anyone here ever sold their camaro or firebird & down the line gettin bit by the bug & cant stop thinking about getting another one? Or end up asking yourself why did i ever end up sellin it, wishing you never sold it, & that you can buy it back.....Im in that funk & it sucks!

Im slowly savin up the coin to get an iroc and im going to hold onto that forever. I grew up with that car (my dad had a few) and its in my dna.

Just wanted to vent- cause everytime i see one on the road i get that excitement/adrenaline feelin in my gut...

anywho hope you guys love your thirdgen

Bought my 84z in 88 & still dont get tired of driving/looking at it.
Ive actually had dreams of selling my car & buying another & deeply regretting it afterwards, but ive never felt any desire to sell it.

Re: missing a 3rd gen in my life...

Yeah I wish I had never gotten rid of my first third generation car. My first 1987 Trans Am. I've had a couple others since then. One I sold because I wasn't prepared to deal with the rust repair and the other because it was just a parts car. Now I've got my Formula and I know better than to sell this one.
