Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
My only other current car. 2019 ATS Coupe.
My favorite cars have always been cars that ride on the same chassis as a Camaro (although in this case, Chevy came second). So, the ATS is my modern Firebird.

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
Wow a Metro and a Citation I like the diversity I have one thats the longest project I've ever done and will do another 69 but its a Firebird that I'm cloning into a Trans am+ started like 15 years ago currently its out on parole from body jail
like with any project - in the middle you change directions -from pretty much stock subframe to a DSE
fabbed up a CAI wish i could Tig weld it works but not too pretty (unfinished test fit)
had 2 A/M fenders then found these pretty clean originals so many steps forward with some back steps this is pretty much how it is been waiting 1.5 years on second body guy - that's damn good and POOF he's not doing mine its running now a LS6 6 speed heads and cam should be 400 hp to the wheels Someday.... its going to get done

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
My other vehicle. 2003, 210.000+ miles. I bought this brand new and have kept it since. I put the rims on after the original tires wore out. it has a vinyl wrap for the upper color to keep her looking good as the SoFlo sun has taken its toll on the original paint.

My daily "get-around" car. 99 Civic SI all stock except cat-back Yonaka exhaust, and has original special dealer order Honda wheels. (also the nose of my 2006 Tundra SR5 Double Cab Truck for Truck things). I literally get asked if I want to sell the SI at least once a week

2002 GT is my DD. Picked it up about 2 years ago with 19k miles. Has 31k miles now. Bought it from a dealer that specializes in classics. You can see a few in the background. That red convertible GTO was super clean.

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
A couple of my others here. My '97 TA, stock appearing, packing a 383 inch LT1 that satisfies my passion for rolling burnouts. and a Ford Model T, the T is a mix of years but its around 1913. My lawnmower has more power (for real) but its a cool conversation piece, its been in storage for the better part of 30 years and I had it out to give it a bath in this pic. One day it will get more love and some brass polishing.

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
Here’s my 68 Camaro. Had it since I was 17 (29 years). It was the second car I ever owned…
Here’s the current 67 Nova project…the first car I ever owned was a 66. Traded it and some cash for the Camaro back in the early 90’s.

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
My three daily drivers - 99 Blazer (220k), 02 Dakota (230k), and 01 Outback (320k). They may not look like much, but all three are manual and either 4x4 or AWD (and they even have working AC). Sadly the Blazer either spun a bearing or bent a pushrod recently, so it's sidelined (and maybe looking at a V8 swap).
I also just inherited this '69 VW Beetle. Going to restore and EV swap it. Once I finish the Camaro, of course!

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
2015 Nissan Frontier V6/6-Speed, purchased new in 2015. Only six V6/6-speeds were available in the entire country at the time of my search, and this one in Tampa, FL was optioned exactly as I wanted it, right down to the color, 50-state legal, too. Made the deal by phone, flew to Tampa and drove it home to CA, now in NV.
271,000 miles at the time of these pics, late November, 2020, after only its second-ever hand-washing(usually just drive it through a car wash every few months), so I clicked a couple dozen nice pictures that day/night. It wasn't easy choosing which to post here.
Currently visiting my family in Indy for this post. It will roll over 300,000 miles on the return trip. EDIT: And it did as of this edit today, 08/02/2021, on my way home to Vegas from Indy, on I-40 in Texas about 20 miles from the New Mexico state line.
Still looks fairly new, still runs as well as new, if not better. Still all-original everything: plugs, coils, injectors, cats, clutch, alternator, serpentine belt, etc. I put "performance" brakes on it a couple of years ago, it gets new tires annually, and I change the oil when I feel like it, which is never sooner than 15,000-25,000 miles; all other fluids are still original.
This will be my second, new, 2ndgen Frontier that I put 300,000+ miles on. My 06 also had all-original everything when that one rolled over; then I gave it to a friend who still drives it. I changed its plugs right at 300,000 miles because I was curious lol. All still beautiful, perfectly/cleanly burnt, just large gaps, which probably explains why each truck continued to fun better, smoother and stronger, with an improvement in mpg as they aged. The improvement became noticeable around 255,000 miles on each truck. My two previous commuter cars performed flawlessly, untouched, too, at over 200,000 miles each. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Currently considering a car to use as my new commuter(Vegas to LA) and parking the truck, to be for truck-use only. For sale by a neighbor in NV: a showroom-condition, 4,000 mile, 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT, dark red metallic exterior, grey interior, t-tops, V6/5-speed. I don't do used cars because I can't stand interiors with previous owners' stink, so I always buy new. But this Fiero still looks new inside and out, and still SMELLS new inside! Where else am I going to find a new commuter car today that gets 38 mpg, for under $10,000?! It'll be a Family of F-words: Firebird, Fiero, Frontier. It's Fate!

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
This was my last revival, a 1987 BMW 325is. Had 89k miles when I bought it in 2010 from the original owner, sat for 10 years behind a shed. Strangely, my IROC-Z began its slumber when I bought this car. Sold it because I couldn't afford a car hobby at the time. Neat car, underpowered, overhyped, and way overpriced these days.

96 isuzu hombre, lol. Has a forged 396 SBC with blow-thru twin turbo, WC T-5, and a 3.42 posi from a 96 trans am in the back. Lots of very cool projects and daily drivers in here. Nice to see the variety.

Re: Third gen owners other cars pics
Awesome cars you guys have! It's so cool to see the other rides of members.
Sold my 3rd gen many years ago. I still have a soft spot for them and hope to get another but these are my other garage/driveway ornaments. Daily is a 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 but these are the ones that put a smile on my face when I walk by.
1999 Camaro. Completely new drivetrain, not rebuilt, and just hit 57k miles. Full suspension, 440ci LS, T56 Magnum, Dana S60. 725-750 crank hp. Maybe 1k miles on the build. Ready to hit the dyno and do final adjustments on the tune.
2013 SRT Viper GTS. Stock other than CF spioler and CF air ducts.
Sold my 3rd gen many years ago. I still have a soft spot for them and hope to get another but these are my other garage/driveway ornaments. Daily is a 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 but these are the ones that put a smile on my face when I walk by.
