Default Need pictures for persuasion!!!!

Alright so my buddy had a '93 Z28 w/ SLP catback w/ Y-Pipe and he has had it since we were sophmores in highschool. Recently he put the car into a retaining wall on the interstate doing 110 while playing w/ some buddies. I know that he loved this car. Recently he has been talking about getting some GAY *** cars because he thinks they would be fun!

So recently he found a 2000 MRM(<--I dont know if thats the actually name of the color) Z28 and he is coming to visit me in KC and we are gonna check it out. He isn't the biggest fan of the LS1 frontend on the camaros but he is willing to give it a try if the price is right.

Post up some pics of some sweet *** MRM? LS1 Camaro's so I can talk his *** into getting an F-body again!

Thanks!

Dont Pursuade him. If he wants a gay car let him have one so that the real cars can be saved for people who REALLY want them and will take care of them.

He prefers the 93-97 over 98 +? Then why'd he put it into a wall? Let him get the gay cars and keep the LS1's shiny side up.

Try to get him to buy a honda or something. If he doesnt WANT an Fbody, he doesnt really deserve to have one. They arent something you "try out." They are something you really really want.

MMM is a very nice color my neighbor has one and my other neighbor has a chameleon green formula. If hes not feeling the looks he can change up a few things easy. Get him to take a test drive in it and his mind should be made up. Mistakes happen but if hes going to get a faster car yet he should respect it more. What hes going through isn't abnormal. People don't always want to upgrade they want to head in a different direction. I was considering some other lesser cars because I didn't think I could afford the decent LS1 I wanted. One of my friends who drives a 99 beetle is always talking about all these fast cars he wants but my formula is faster than each one and he still doesn't get it even after I step on it when we're cruising. Some people don't know what they want or what they had. Just give him some information instead of opinions and he'll make the right decision.
