I just dont like the way the front end looks. Just seems weird looking to me. But as long as it gets you from point A to point B who cares

I think your hardest thing is going to find an insurance company. Unless you already did that. Only having your DL for a week kinda puts you between a rock and a hard place. You might want to check out Progressive.... Just a thought

there is like 2 agents with in a 20 block radious, walking distance, i know state farm is right up the street and then there is another one but im not sure who hes with, but i heard hes cheap... i will check out this car if its work buying i will go to both agents and get quotes in person... and i will just go with the cheaper one... then i will go buy the car :)
but yea, i think the ground effects not being there fucks up the look of the car, i donno for fact tho... but thats ok, becaseu i dont like that front bumper at all, because of those silly ass cuts in it...3 cuts from head light to head light...

The 3 cut thing your talking about. That is what I hate about it too. Just looks as you put it fu__ed up. Eventually get the ground effects that would help but make sure the engine and everthing is in good shape. I bet it runs good just the way it is just needs some TLC

i've really taken a liking to those models without the GFX, when you do em up right, they got a vintage muscle car look to them. Here's a really good example...

Viper, I have a 91 RS that i would sell you for $1,000. I bought it for $1,200 , rebuilt the trans, replaced the windshield, put new tires on it, and fixed the AC leak. Unfourtunatly, I live in Texas. Sounds to me like you have just gooten your license and are about 17 or so. I remember how hard it was then to have something to drive that I liked. MOst of mine were extreme beaters that my girlfriends wouldn't ride in. Some of them were fast, some weren't. My best advice to you is to get a beater (but dependable) car to drive whie you finish school, Then, after you get a job, continue to save your $$ and you will be able to find a camaro/firebird that you like and can afford.
I know that's not really what you want to hear, but trust me, once you get oput on your own and get your feet on the ground, you'll be able to do it the way you want.

I like that car the way it is, if you look at them in real life though they look alot different/ugly but I do like the 3 slot nose, to make the car look good you have to lower it a bit or lower the front and raise the back, then it'd look good but you cant leave it alone. IMO I like em but the one you're getting needs a paint job, Viper.

God.. if I were you i'd goto Wal-Mart, buy a couple of gloss black srapy cans and spray paint your car. btw remember to use lots of tape and newspaper and dont forget to have paitience when doing the tape part as it is the most important part of the upcomming crappy paintjob.
Viper_Storm
09-02-2005, 11:49 PM
might as well just paint it witha brush, i guess i could spray it with cans of paint from walmart, i dont see putting the money out for a good paint job since i will be adding ground effects, a iroc turbo hood, and one of those 'tall' spoilers like that dude 92zcamaroperson has on the car in his sig.

Yeah i'd do it, and if you had like an electronic sander you could sand it down and THEN color it, which would be hella better.

well i went to look at that camaro today, i asked the guy there about it and he looked at me like i just landed on earth, while i was out looking at cars, i came accross a pretty nice 2 door honda accord, only prob is its stick, + the guy wants like 1800 for it, but its prob got a hell of alot of miles on it.
any ideas on learning to drive stick? no friends that can teach me, but im 99% sure that if i could try to drive it maybe around hte block or so i should be able to tkae it from there, i might stall it once or twice but thats it, i prob wont even grind the gears ever, but i donno how to acctually drive a stick...
