Would I regret selling my first car?

[Iron]

This is more of a personal opinion question rather than a technical one. Snow is almost here, and I'm considering just selling the Camaro rather than garaging it and buying a 2nd winter beater. I know I'd feel like crap not being the dude with the green z28 anymore, but I could almost guarantee that after winter I'd pour my money into a newer F-body with an LS1 in it...do you guys think this new car would fill the void of my old Camaro, or would I still regret it, just cus it was my first car that got me around in high school?

I would keep it and save up the money over the winter you would have used to buy a LS1 and with a tiny investment you will be faster than a LS1 at a fraction of the price or you could go with the newer car and your plan but I think you will miss the o'le LT1 down the road.

It must suck to live in a place where it snows. I drive my camaro all year long.

I think the ls1 will fill the void of the lt1, but like John said you could end up with a faster product with less money staying with the lt1.

Keep it dude, you might regret it later and you'll get more coin out of it if you sell it in the spring or summer when people are looking for a fun car.

I'd keep it..

keep it. Even tho my camaro is not my first car, i don't think i am ever going to get rid of it. i will put it in storage. i wish i still had my first car.

[goldz28]

Well everyone here is saying keep it. So I say sell it and get a real car. A mustang...




























Just kidding, I'd keep it and save up and mod it when summer hits. Either way even if you do sell it which in the midst of winter will be hard, you would be happy with an ls1...Good luck...

[Savage Messiah]

keep.

[Genopsyde]

keep it man, I still have my first car myself. got it back in july of 1997, almost 10 years now. and it happens to be the same 1991 RS that's in my sig.

I'll comform and say keep it. Sure, later on you're in the market for an LS1, but what if it takes you awhile to find one that you like. That's just more time that you won't be driving the toy. If there's nothing wrong with the LT1, keep it and mod it next spring/summer. You can always sell it later if you really want to, but its harder to find a decent LS1, they don't grow on trees anymore.

Keep it, with gas prices going down, the price of 4 bangers are dropping at a mad rate. Get a little cat litter box on wheels for a couple of hundred bucks, and store the 'maro.

you should definetly keep that man. My step dad sold his true 70 camaro ss 396 5speed a couple months after getting it becuase the cops like to watch him and he had enough tickets as it was. He kicks himself in the ass all the time. It wasnt his first car but still i wouldnt do it. but my stepdad kept his first car which i now have but it cant leave the family. It's a 70 el camino dark charcoal grey Not an ss but it still has the 350 auto with rallys. unfourtunalty doesnt have motor in it and needs complete frame off resto. motor is origanal sitting in our garage

hahahahaahahha

my first car was a crx 1.5, I wonder what you all would have said then.

It's an LT1? keep it!!

[ZL1power69]

another vote for keeping it. you would regret it (believe me i know). store it for the winter, save some green and get a few bolt ons. cheaper in the long run that buying an ls1 equiped car.
