Default Could be a sad day in a few weeks :(

This LT1 is starting to cost me a lot to repair and it's about that time on the odometer where things start to break or need to be replaced. So if this loan gets approved I'll be buying a car that is more fuel efficient and less maintenance.

Before you think I'm selling the car, it's just going to be parked so I can save up money do exactly what I want to it, so it can be my weekend car when I get out of college. (which should be soon). It's got it's own spot in the 4 car garage my dad and I built as an addition to our house.

Thats the best way, my wife and I have two other cars so we do not depend on the Camaro. I had a habit of breaking it back in the day which sucked because we only had two cars at the time.

Nope, I'm going to be in Daytona for the Rolex 24 Hours. I've had that weekend planned for a long time. I've never stayed for the whole 24 hours. This will be my first year doin' that

don't know, car just dies randomly, and bucks a little bit before. It's not misfiring, when it dies all the gauges stick at their last posistion.
