Is it just me...

Or is everybody here selling their F-bodies?
Every day I see a new "for sale" ad, showing a mint, low mileage 4th gen for a considerably low price!
Why?
I guess there are expenses and all, but everybody seems to be in enough of a financial rut to sell 'em.
By the time I get my hands on a good one, there's going to be like, 2 people at the meets!

What's the deal with the downfall of F-body owners, or am I just going nuts?

I toy with the idea once in a while. Sometimes I think I'd rather have one of these 10 second cruisers.

I doubt I could afford the mods on that one, so mine would look more like this

One's for work and school and the other's for play. I don't want to have a broken car and not have a way to work.

He thinks F-Bodies are the most unreliable cars.

There are two types of f-body sellers...first, the ones that aren't as rough around the edges (not like me ) and are destined to buy a Corvette. Second, the ones that a) don't have enough "car-guy" in them to own such a flashy ride b) are never satisfied with a project and end up chasing their tail with a jack-stand racer and C) the type that wants their f-body to be as practical as their 4-banger and when they find out it doesn't meet their requirements....they sell.

I myself have comitted to finishing my project and therefore you can count on me sticking around. Whats funny is I have never "picked-up" a girl with my car, but I have lost them before because they didn't understand my obsession They think I love my car more than them...hehe, sometimes it's true.
