Default I think I am addicted

So yeah I just found an amazing deal on a 98 SS Camaro and picked it up as fast as I could. It has 88k miles and the body is perfect. Only think wrong is wear on the drivers seat. So yeah, most parents don't believe a 17 y/o kid should have a fast car let alone 3 haha. But yeah I am excited and had to tell someone. I will get some more pics tomorrow.









It is an automatic and I am not gonna lie, I like the auto a lot more though the Trans Am is still a **** load faster.

I don't know what the TA has done to it but it will throw your *** in the seat. Probably just gonna daily the Camaro but sell it if someone offers. Not really worried about racing cause no one will race me lol.


But the Camaro is bone stock down to the paper filter. I gonna pull the exhaust soon to give it some ***** but idk if I am going to do anything major yet. Also Brian I payed cash for it, never had any major bills and debt in my life and plan to keep it that way.

And ws6 kid I work at a body shop and only make $120 a week, just gotta hustle .

Idk, I am going to put it out by the road and see what happens, worked for the 73 Camaro.

How hard is it to put in a stall?

Here are some more pics of it. The body is freaken mint, not one dent. It needs some interior work though, probably just gonna trash the carpet, pull the interior out and completely clean it. I am a clean freak when it comes to cars.

I am actually considering keeping it, what are some good starter mods? Intake, stall, headers? My Trans Am is my baby but this one feels more like a toy and I want to start tearing into it and making it faster.

$120 a week in income, 2 sports cars at the age of 17. I guess the question is how much is your insurance on 2 v-8 sports cars at the age of 17. I know when I was 17, insurance on my 71 Chevelle was $1500 a year, yours has to be $400 a month if not more if you are on your parents policy.
