My dad is so cool....Oh,and I decided what I'm getting.

Sure he is concerned about me wanting a Camaro. He has heard about them and thier habits of the rear end pulling loose on turns if your being a nut (my mom almost spin out on a corner in our old '89,but shes a maniac driver).
But he also knows my mind is set on one,and is being pretty supportive. He is the owner of an Auto accesory and sign shop,so he can get me wholesale prices.....well,on just about anything really. Plus,he's promised to put silver GT stripes on the Black '92 I get !

I think for some strange reason he's a little more happy that I'm going with V6 instead of V8. He told me "I just dont wanna see you under a tractor-trailer". Hmm. I guess thats what a miata is for .

Well I decided what I'm getting. Me and Monkie talked about it,and we decided it would be best for me to go to a few different auctions untill I find what I want...A black '92 3.1 w/ T-tops. Downloaded some pics of it last night....geeze. Cant wait. I'd expect to pay retail $4000 for this car,and I'm getting it wholesale for prolly $1500-1600.... Oh,and 5 spd manual.

I was once going down the freeway and saw a semi with a load of freeway supports! Me and a friend changed lanes underneath it going 70mph! We wuz being nutz! I still cant believe we did something so stupid in my maro! It sure was neat to look up at the bottom of a semi load though!

just thought I'd share.. that tractor trailer thing reminded me of it!

later,
Daniel

how the hell do u get a 3rd gen under a tractor trailer. I've looked at those things, and i think they'd cut my t-tops off.
