I mean you never really have had a chance to enjoy it IMO.

There is no risk of trees falling on it in my garage.......

Right now my '92 T/A w/ 176k is my DD, when it finally takes a dump (meaning it isn't cost effective to repair) then the Z28 will become the DD. I'm doing a few minor upgrades to the Z28 in the mean time.

Insurance only went up about $50 a year when I added the Z28 because I dropped comprehensive off the T/A and it is the primary car and getting a multi car discount.

So for now the Z28 is a weekend toy.

NO WAY! Someone might hit it!

If anyone kills this car it will be me . That's what the Colorado is for, they can hit that all day. That poor truck I beat the hell out of it sometimes.
