Yes but do you have motorized seats???? DO YOU????
Plus my shocks have their own sound system. Whenever I go over a big bump I get to hear some baddass squeaks. I call it, progressive machine techno-breaks. |

My car kind of looks like this:
Except that car is missing some of the super-charged, aerodynamic dings that my car has. |

Unfortunately its an automatic. I wish it was a stick, that would be great fun
Its on its second engine, a 305 v8 pretty similar to the factory one as I understand. Its not in good enough condition to risk driving it too fast unfortunately, once I get out of school I might put some money into it, only a few more years until it has aged a little more out of the white trash age and into the classic phase I think.
Thats pretty much all I know about cars and racing and stuff, I doubt I will ever race any car against other people,nor try to win one of so many of these car based internet arguements so say what you will about other peoples cars. I think its an awesome car and the best thing that I can get at this stage in my life, I like that it has a bit more speed to it than more common cars and has a bit of uniquness to it, and I like the 80's straight-line kinda design too, If anyone knows of some cheap ways to restore the thing, please dont hesistate to say something to me. |
good to see another US TA with an affinity for American muscle rather than the import craze. Dont get me wrong im not trying to bash imports, i think all kind of car restoration and restomrodding is cool.
That being said, you said u want cheap ways to restore it. Have you checked out catalogs. You can find a lot of Catalogs for free or a couple bucks. Check out Year One, Camaros Unlimited or catalogs like that. Also Hemmings motor news is your number 1 classified ads dealer pick up a copy of that and browse thru it. Each months issue is couple thousand pages!
Check out swap meets too. How close are you to Pennsylvania? Im about 2 hours away from Carlisle, PA, home of one of the biggest car show and swap/meets. I go up there for the All Ford Nationals. Its great i found four chrome wheels for my cougar for 80 bucks, plus exhaust manifolds, doors, rear quarters and a full front grille assembly all for less than 250 bucks!
anyways just a couple suggestions! i really dont have the time right now to restore my car, so like you its just a daily driver that i keep in check. Once im outta college im takin it apart and rebuilding it. :D |

Unfortunately the import show they had there has been canceled due to a few who ruined it for everyone. Luckily I was able to make it to this years show, which was my first time going so at least I got see what it was all about.
I don't have anything against American Muscle myself, my dad owns a 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix so it's sort of in my blood. But I do love my imports way more. :tongue3 |

Anyway, whether your car is a Ferrari or a Geo Metro, it's your car so you should take pride in it. Some people see cars as a vehicle to take them from point a to point b. Some people see them as much more. You need to respect everyone's opinion. So I don' think this thread is a list of the tiest cars ever (as someone mentioned above).

i definetely agree with that. While I would love an M5, the 900's got character...plus, all the ladies like it, for some reason. :D
oh and Tranz...he was talkin about the Saab, not the BMW. |
