#476311 - 09/20/19 02:03 AM My new old car
Nigel Admin Registered: 06/01/98 Posts: 6482 Loc: Ventura CA USA	I buy cars like I buy meals. When I go to a favorite restaurant I don't need to see the menu I just order what I know I like. I buy cars the same. My 2002 Camaro Z28 just reached 204,000 miles so I decided it was time to move on. But I don't like the new Camaros they have abandoned the hatchback which was perfect for loading music gear. And provided full rear vision. So I found another 2002 Camaro SS with only 14,000 miles. It is like I found a time machine. This car has lived mostly in a garage and is still like brand new after 18 years. It is mine now. http://www.synthzone.com/misc/camaross.JPG

The Saint Member Registered: 10/29/07 Posts: 690 Loc: Sydney Australia	Geez Nigel, nice wheels, way to go, I would have that too, only the steering wheel is in the wrong place. I have a 3 year old Honda with 7000 Km on the clock. Some lucky person will get the benefit of it when I separate from it !!! Ray _________________________ Ray The Saint

After 30 years living and working in the USA I am used to the steering wheel being on the left side. But your Honda sounds like an awesome deal too.

Nigel Admin Registered: 06/01/98 Posts: 6482 Loc: Ventura CA USA	Originally Posted By tassiespirit what a find Nigel! I was just lucky. And the Camaro SS has serious horsepower. I just love classic American muscle cars. Surprisingly, unlike Australia, they don't use speed cameras in the USA like they do there.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15560 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	The car I miss the most was my Studebaker Golden Hawk. I haven't found one for under $62,000, which is way more than I want to spend at this stage of life. Great find, Nigel, Gary Attachments _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!
