Default Getting "the bug" again!

It has been about 2 1/2 years since I have had a "fun" car, which is by far, the longest I have gone without one in my life. It has been a while since I have had the interest in even looking for a good deal on fun car, but now I am scouring the boards again seeing what is out there. Man, is this fun! I've really been enjoying looking at the foxbodies, 3rd gen camaros, c5 vettes and 4th gen fbodies. So many choices - it looks like prices are really coming down on everything!

Good question! I don't think I really have a price range. The main thing for me is it must be a fantastic price for the vehicle.
