yah I know what you mean, I thought I was out of the Fbody game too...after I wrecked my first 02 M6 TA, I took the insurance money and bought an '04 loaded 2 Door Accord w the 3.0 V6 and the M6, seriously the nicest, quietest, best built car I have ever owned.....The stick was 31 mpg and I was able to squeeze 37 out of it, people say toyota is a good car but IMO Honda is the best built car in the world, toyotas dont even compare.....anyways I had the car for a year, missed the speed and now here I am...01' Formula A4 but I do miss the Honda too, I wish I could afford both but when I can afford another car a Honda will be the first car I go pick up

I sold my car last week. I justify it by buying guns and saving up for the 2009 Camaro.

You will be back, thats what keeps me in the game. You cant give up the hobby, look 4mulaJoe, had a 355 94 B4C, sold it and got an 01 Formula built that up and sold it, said he wouldnt get another one blah blah waste of money, dont like F-bodies any more, then what does he do? Buys a 97 30th Z28 with a 355 and with in the first month has a wet kit on it. You cant get out the game, you in to deep
