Default Hate to do it.

I hated to do it but i traded in my camaro. It stinks that it is gone but i have to worry about getting my family set up right now. So i bought a 09 civic SI. Lol Not as fast but it is really nice. I already miss the roar and the get up and go. So if you guys see a Burnt Orange 09 Civic SI rolling around on base thats me.

The impala ss get 30 mpg with the displacement on demand.

Travose 21 can hook up almost anything you are looking for. Give him a holler if you can bring back that honda and get into something american.

I had two carseats in my camaro at one time. I'm still sporting one car seat for my 4 year old for whenever I give him a "car ride" during the weekends.

This is the reason the BIG 3 are in trouble.......should have bought a GM,FORD,CHRYSLER. Or kept your Camaro. And, if that car ..IS.. made in the states, 70% of the money does NOT..stay in the States................[not bashing,just making a reasonable point]

My wife had an '08 with that same color scheme. Aside from all the haters on here, it was actually a great little car. Had good power for a 4banger, and was pretty fun to drive. It's not a Ls1, but it's a really nice car! I loved the seats!
