My Focus was a junker, true, but nothing wrong with American cars back when they actually were built nice.

Very nice camaro good luck with it. I'm 17 right now and going to become a mechanic for a few years/ My brother used to be a mechanic and he has the license to work on planes aswell so he got me into it. He has a 86 Firebird and a 88 Camaro both great cars with lots of work put into them. He had a 5.0 Mustang but was demolished while parked on the side of the street by a DUI driver running from the cops. Talk about luck eh? Ima try to fo for a 5.0 Fox myself as my first ride but don't know about that yet. Have to see what I can save up.

Thanks.

And that sucks about the 5.0, did he at least get insurance money?

For the record, this sweet little Yaris of mine is more reliable, so far, than the $30k Australian built GTO that I sold last year. My rack and rear main leaked (mine) from almost day one...

The car comes with lint free cotton gloves so you don't get fingerprints on them. They are kept behind that cover you talked about

So, since I new I was getting a base model, non-power car...

I'm glad I wasn't hung up on mirrors with no lever.

Oh! And it's your Mom's car...not yours. The problem is...

Ridiculous is flipping out about a knob or switch that you can't find b/c the car doesn't have it It bugged me at first too. It's just one more thing to go wrong, plus extra weight. I can't even remember how many times i had to place the motors on the PW in my civic.

Evidently you've never had to cope with those stupid cable things that "control" the mirrors? They're pains in the butt.

Nothing wrong as long as you weren't trying to navigate on a curvy country road.

Camaros used the same suspension system as your grandma's Chevy Nova.... Camaros have shitty suspension, especially the front end. They were also prone to "sag" in the engine supports if you put too large of a motor into them.

Sure hope you recognize those limitations and have built around them, as a lot of people I know hereabouts do.
