3x post in a row, and a decent off-road rip.

I'll sell you this much cheaper, similar ride, not quite as cool. Never jumped a river.

Spoiler!


Seriously though, if anyone's looking I am keen to sell.

Maybe it's just me but I kind of prefer the front end on the Camaro. That's probably blasphemy somehow.

I’m just glad the F-bodies are making a comeback. When I was younger they were getting tagged as mullet-mobiles, but I’ll seeing more and more young guys working on them again.

Pre-77 Firebirds had the single round headlights, which I prefer over the Camaro and 77-on Pontiac front ends. Looked classier especially on the lower trims, it just fine on the TransAm too.

A local guy builds replica Ferrari race cars in his garage and has started a YouTube channel. The first car is for sale.

I don't think of mullets when I see a Trans Am. As soon as I see a black one as shown above I think of Burt Reynolds only.

I've seen this car a few times. It looks, and more importantly sounds, awesome. The guy did a fantastic job.

I surprised my parents at the end of August by showing up in Winnipeg unannounced for a week.

The stuff this thread will care about: car shots!
My car and my dad's 2001 Corvette C5.


I always wanted a C5 as a teenager, it was my favourite 'attainable' car in Need for Speed 3 - Hot Pursuit, and finally got to drive it after having driven pretty much every other Corvette since the C3. Great car, comfortable, very easy and unintimidating to drive.


My car cleaned up and ready to hit the weekly Sunday car show at the Pony Corral.

For the first year, he paid to park it at a storage facility. This past winter, he put an outdoor car cover on it, and disconnected the battery. Ideally, he would keep it in the single garage at the back of the house, except it is 100% a woodworking shop and has no space for a vehicle.

C5 corvette is still one of the nicest sports cars of the 21 century(ish)

The biggest adjustment for me driving the C5 was the resistance and travel in the throttle pedal, it felt like there was so much travel and you really had to intend to put your foot into it. Because the car is so light (<3,300 lbs.), it gets up to speed really quickly so you never really feel like you need to put your foot all the way down. Definitely had some fun with it on the highway.

Now, the biggest adjustments for my dad driving the Aston were 1. not being able to see the front of the car, and 2. how good the brakes are; he almost put us through the bloody windshield at the first stop sign he encountered.

I owned one last year and enjoyed it for a summer, they are quite the car if you can find one that hasn't been thrashed.

I really wish there was a nice road circuit nearby as a track day would be a blast.
