Third gen love

I was driving on the 91 freeway this morning in my daily driver when I noticed this early base Camaro next to me. Now, it wasn't the best or the most well built but I have to give it to the driver who seemed to love his car top notch honors for giving it the love that it deserved.

Yeah, you just don't see allot of 3rd gens in decent shape on the road anymore. I see ALLOT of hacked up 4th gens...with WAY over-sized chrome rims, tacky Pep boys special chrome louvers glued all over them along with the fake bullet hole stickers...terrible...just terrible.

Re: Third gen love

Some guys get all the luck. I see 50/50 in L.A. when I see a 3rd gen, some are not so good and some look like they just rolled from the showroom floor.


I try to take pictures when I see them driving on the street. Some don't come out so good since my phone is already old HTC EVO from 2010.


One rolled up at a red light, Black IROC-Z, the paint looked new, and sounded very healthy with the Flowmaster 80s.

Sun was in the way so all's I could get was a pic from behind. Let me find it and upload.

Re: Third gen love

My paint is plain shot and it's time that I at least begin some body repairs too.
