Don't get me wrong, I totally dig my PB and I know it makes sense to have a laptop to get me through law school. I don't regret my decision. It's just that I really miss my Camaro. I still have about a $1000.00 left over from the sale. I'm thinking I'll save it up and keep an eye out for a 68-72 Nova or maybe another 2nd generation Camaro.



Anyone else here dig classic muscle? Anyone feeling my pain?

    Yeah, 3rd generation F-body's are nice. Back in the day my family had an '82 Firebird. We liked it. The nice thing about the 3rd gens is that you don't have to worry about rust. Also, the lack of a metal body makes them nice and light. Drop some NOS in that 89 and watch it fly! Just take care you don't wreck your heads.

    Not into classic, but I feel the pain. On my first German assignment, I left my 944 behind in Detroit. After 6 months, I flew back to pick it up. You can only drive 1.3 liter (79 cu in) FIATs for so long. Man, the 944 was built for the autobahn.



    On my second (current) assignment, I brough my Honda. It's pretty pokey above 100 mph. Bleah! I want my 944.



    (Torque? Never heard of it. I hear it's nice though. If I was to miss something from muscle cars, I'm sure it would be that. If I knew what that was.)

    Ooh, what's that slick white car across the street? Kind of hard to tell, but it looks like an 89GXL.



    Anyway, who said 1.3L (err, 1308cc) isn't enough. . . My 1308cc car is nice and fast. . . faster than a camaro, at least, if you give 'em some curves, and not a whole lot worse at the quarter mile.



    Gotta say though, that's one nice looking camaro. It looks like it was in pretty good shape. I can't believe you only sold it for what you did.

    don't you have to have a mullet to drive one of those?

    Yeah, that's my neighbor's RX7. We've raced on a straight road before. Needless to say I destroyed him. But I'm sure he'd give me a run for my money in the curves.

    Actually they changed that law in the mid 90's when Metallica cut their long hair. Now you can drive one of these with any hairstyle as long as you have an AC/DC tattoo.
