i would have personally bummed a ride and saved for a beater.... i am in cape vincent new yourk and stationied at fort drum.. i dont drive my formula in teh winter and its garaged before snow....that guys either ballsy / broke/ or a straight outdumbass...

 

You obviously don't know the affect road salt has on a car then.

And to the rest of you, I have been driving that red ZR2 in the background for the past 6 yrs, got it as my first vehicle when I was 16. It was 7 years old at the time. And After every winter I end up either sand blasting the frame, painting the bottom or some kind of touch up work from what the fucken salt did to the poor truck. I don't need to drive my Trans Am everyday, I love driving my truck. And it's to the point now where I have to start looking for a new cab because this ones past the point of fixing. Same goes for my brothers S10.


It's not like I plan on selling my car either. I bought the car from the original owner with very low miles, 100% stock. I'm just trying to preserve it as best as possible to show what the General had to offer many years ago from a car company that doesn't exist anymore.

 

Wow I was simply showing other Fbody owners what I came across. Simple as that. No need for you to throw your stupid remarks about that **** in there....

O and btw no, we can't snowmobile in Florida

 

yea my cars come out whenever its nice i dont just sit around and clean the mother *******. you idiots that diss the people for storing rare cars and not dd them into the ground are the same kind of fucktards that tore up all the old camaros, chevelle ss, shelby mustangs, and chargers from back in the day so go ahead and keep driving your junk, all your doing is making my car worth more. ohh yea my dad still has the ONE OWNER 70 mach 1 mustang he drove through high school and its a pristine garage queen so i dont know what you were trying to prove by telling your little story but it sounds like bull ****, and dont compare me to some *** hat that took his car out ran a stop light and totalled it, you could get rear ended just as easy. And if i get T-boned i have haggerty full coverage collector car insurance guess how much my 96 comp is insured for 30k, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. And you tell everyone to shut up and mind they're own buisiness but you sure seem to be all up in my buisness, dont hate because you have to drive your **** everyday and you can't afford another vehicle to drive. so

 

Wow, you're a cocky ****, I’m from NY too, that makes me an *** kisser also? Watch your mouth before you **** off the wrong person. Get off the soap box and go back to pushing french fries. I can say I don't walk around and insult people that I don't know based on geography, except this once, wow you are ignorant.

When I buy a car of that type the first question I ask is whether it saw rain or not. If it was ever in the rain, snow or modified I walk away. That has dropped the value significantly in my mind. It's nobodies fault but your own that in 20 years your car isn't worth **** and mine is.

Like stated previously, you have no idea what road salt does to a car, most cars look 10 years old within 3 years up here. Abrasion from sand and corrosion from salt and water.

 

The power of words is amazing.

Why, you gonna come hunt me down tough guy.

I listed my f -bodies on an f body site. I see no need to list everything I own. That means I don't drive them everyday. I got one in a vacuum sealed bubble I'm going to become a millionaire of off, but it's not an f body
Oh wait, I'm thinking of the hotwheels collection I had when I was 10.
Seems for some poeple that theory has carried over to older age. Yea I used to get **** from the other kids for actually playing with my limited edition whatever as they displayed theirs in the original package.

So what have you got for hotwheels these days, or is that how you bought your garage queen, sold the hotwheels for it?

You guys crack me up
Now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because you're going to come get me.

 

Can you please tell us another story about how much money you have?? I definitely want to hear it...

I see this thread is heading for great places....

 

why are you so butt hurt, dude im only 25 and im not rich i just invest wisely and work my ******* *** off ***** go and hate on someone else, and who the **** said anything about a car in a bubble, yall need to wash the sand out of your vaginas and let people do what they want, go drive your car into a ******* wall i DONT' CARE just dont dis people that preseve cars they like and enjoy, if it wasn't for people like this there would be no more muscle cars. damn thre are a bunch of ****** hatin busybody whinners in this thread

 

I guess its the guys only car. Poor car. I can only imagine what the carpet looks like after walking on the ****. Im glad I live in the Dry Desert.

 

No more tears dude, no more tears...



My car has over 100k miles. Has some rock chips, little dings whatnot. I still love my car, still wash it, still maintain it. Her life was never to be a collector car. It's just not in the cards for some of these cars. Congrats on keeping yours nice. Don't lose sleep over the ones that aren't.

 

Sad to admit, but very true...

 

im not cryin or losing sleep just sick of bitches hatting on people that are more fortunate than themselves. my hawk has almost 90k on it and gets driven on nice days, since it would be pretty ****** stupid to try to drive a 500rwhp car with drag radials in anything but perfect conditions.

 

I know someone that uses a Porsche 911 twin turbo as a winter car. Its got all wheel drive and he puts on a set of snow tires. To him, its his beater since he has a garage full of exotics.

 

they should make it a crime, man....you shoulda kicked their buts!

 

Until I moved down to dallas my car was my daily driver. It's what I bought it for...to enjoy.

If you want to store yours, fine. But if you want to drive it, fine. People on both sides are getting all butthurt about nothing.

 

Not every car is a candidate for garage queen. Most are daily drivers from the start and just go downhill from there.

Not everybody is suited to be a cleaner and polisher. No crime in that. Neither is it a crime to have an awesomely clean car and wish to keep it that way. No need for anybody here to get personal about it. So don't.

 

Garage queens don't rot away, unless someone has no clue about how to maintain a limited use car. My '98 Z is 11 years old now, and it still looks and drives perfect with 15k miles on it. Nothing is rotted, or worn, or damaged - mechanically or cosmetically. Granted, you can't just park a car and forget about it either.... a certain level of useage and maintenance is key even for a garage queen.

I agree totally. People just don't realize how damaging road salt is. It becomes very noticeable when you DO have a garage queen plus a DD. It's shocking how much quicker the DD starts looking like hell.

No need to get so aggressive, BanditTA. This battle is as old as our hobby. Can you enjoy a car more when it's always looking perfect and driven only on nice days? Or is it more enjoyable to drive the **** out of it no matter what, even once it starts looking like ****? Honestly, I'm doing both right now with two different cars, and for me I'd rather keep the garage queen. But everyone is different.

Well said sir, well said.

 

def my fav 4th gen.

 

OMG!!! I know this car! The doushe bag is from Jacksonville NC....sadly when he bought it it was in NEW condition.....sad that everytime I see it it gets worse and worse... and yes those are paint scrapes on the back...

 

Better that than this:




Life is too short to worry that hard about something you don't have any control over...
