Could be selling the maro... but not for awhile.

So yeah, I dont need too much advice here, but feel free to sway me in a direction, if there even really is one.

So anywho I was thinking about things, this fall I will be going to automotive school (Renton Voc-Tech incase anyone cares) and I will hopefully have time to finish the mods I have started (exhaust done, N20 half way done, intake stuff soon). Make something that someone could drive, but also take down to the track for a little drag racing fun. So it also occured to me that I will have anywhere from about 10,000 to 15,000 left over in cash after college. So I figure, why not sell the camaro and buy a new car. Also my graduation year should be 2007 I believe which means that a new camaro might be out. But if one isnt out I could also get a chevelle (another hopeful) or perhaps a monte carlo (and they are finally going back to the small block). But another option struck me as well. Rather than a new car, get a car that meant something to me. See my dad's ex girlfriend (when I was about 11 or 12) had the 1987 Buick Grand National that was later stolen, a serious disappiontment, I really did love that car, it was so much fun. So I thought about it and with the left over money plus the camaro money I could by a GN with cash. But also I could just save up and once I graduate I could keep the maro and buy a GN, but I prolly couldnt buy a new car with that plan if I wanted... so its a ways away, but any opinions on what I should do?

Go with the Monte, if the Camaro or Chevelle arent around by then, actually if I were you i'd wait even after that because 09.. seems to be the new projection date. So yeah, the GN.. I would but dont know man, finally after college and stuff wouldnt you want a car with no problems by then? I say wait on it till later.

Drink. Drink long and hard, and I'm sure a solution will present itself.

Looks the same to me, besides the front end looks lightly restyled. But even still, 5.3L is wayyyyy too much power to be having in a FWD vehicle. They need to convert it RWD. That would be one sick ride then.

I think it looks good enough. And it having 300 HP is pretty badass too.
