    lol...i tend to disagree about the POS statement...

    but then again, i'm a lover of classic american muscle...and love restoring them. i never see them as a POS...just a lot of potential :D

    LOL....as you saw from my earlier msg...(64 Vette, 67 Shelby) I like em too. But the "average car"=daily driver, turns into a POS pretty quick! I love my Rolla so much, I'm gonna get a junker for the winter & keep the Rolla for summers! ;-)

    agreed about the daily driver...it ends up needing a LOT of upkeep to keep them nice.

    i'm still looking for a 92 Z24(don't ask...lol) drop top for my daily...THOSE are FUN, and i won't care if someone hits it.

    THAT's why I wanna buy a junker for winter! At least for 9 months I won't have to worry about getting hit! (Michigan= 9 months of winter, 3 months of tough sledding)

    Yea winters are fun, I hate having to switch from rims to the stocks and then back again, that a lot of rubber that you have to buy, which gets costly

    Amen, brother....I kept my stock rims & tires for winger driving, and keep the Fuzions and rims for the summer. Of course, we're still waiting for summer here. (40 deg tonight)

    I hear that! Back in the old days...when I was young, American Racing (real) Mags & a set of tires cost $400. The cost of progress....

    I just hope things settle down here soon. We've had 20 straight days of rain. Lots of places flooded here. 6' of water in basements, some 4' on the first floor, I just had flooded streets (couldnt get out last Fri & Sat) Ain't no way my baby is goin' out in that!

    OK, here's a Q for ya.... Now that we're completey off topic about body kits. Since I have about $1200 to blow, and you've seen my ride, what do you thing about having the dealer put in "S" fog lights (around $ 450.00)?

    that would look good.

    I dont know how involved with music you are, but you could also buy new speakers and a headunit, to replace the stocks


    And sorry about getting off topic

    Sometimes I wish I had bought the "S", but I travel a lot in my job and wanted basic, cheap transportation.....until I started looking at Car Domain.com and thought, Damn, this looks like fun! Besides, it's more rewarding to trick it out the way you want it. I probably wouldn't have done this much with the "S"....
