I just have to keep telling myself that they're all LG4 cars and that helps me feel better.

I drove mine EVERYDAY for nearly 6 years before I just bought an S10 a few months ago. We get snow here too, not like you, but enough salt to rust out a car quick enough. There's nothing like a fast, dependable, good looking car to drive everyday.

GFX painted in 2002 Sebring Silver. Dark blue / light gray was the factory paint scheme. I did most of the prep such as removing all trim, handles, locks, lights, weatherstrip etc. Our bodyshop did the body work AND paint for $500 labor and $125 materials That's prep, sealer, primer, 2 base coats and 2 clear coats. Looks every bit as good as any 2002 Electron Blue Corvette
"Camaro" grill has been added since. Parking lights have been fully polished. Windows have been tinted. New exhaust tips have also been added. Charcoal 4th gen seats and completed interior color change to black also done. New pics AND movies soon! I've got 3 videos of me racing an LT1 Vette, an older Fox (pre - 87) Stang, and a WRX - me winning in all three
If I only had a way to transfer VHS to the computer...

There was this black one that had these really stupid headlight covers with big Accel stickers on them which sounded like crap with some red loser driver looking all cool... ran a real cool 15.4 Then there was a blue one with a crappy flowmaster catback which was a 5 speed... ran a 16.2 I beleive. Awful... I don't understand. Why are these stupid people ripping around looking all proud thinking they are fast when they are running like poo. They just make the strong running 3rd gens look bad. Just wanted to vent... KEEP THE DIRTY REDS OFF THE ROAD

Normal fast third-genner response, about as bad as most 4th-gen owners response......I guess better stay away from the track until my 91 is running in the 12's according to the "fast people" here. What a bunch of BS. No I'm not a jelous "slow" third-gen owner who wishs I could aspire to be as cool as the "fast" third-gens owners around here.

Either way... if you're proud of what your car is doing, fine, nothing wrong with that. It's the ignorance of people thinking 15's are fast. They aren't. Period. No matter who you ask, they are not fast, neither are 14's. I personally feel 13's are quick, 12's make the fast cars. 11's and better are just sick
15's don't suck if you know you're not the hot stuff, they just leave room for improvment!
