Not just the stupid kids, but the rising cost of the f-car, its insurance and fuel costs as well as maintenance costs.Originally posted by TODD 2000 V6 CAMAROThat's depressing.

Kids can run around in a cheaper, more reliable, more fuel efficient import that still looks sporty. Not only that, but many times the kids get mom and dad's hand-me-down grocery getter, which is a smallish import.
It was this trend, combined with disasterously poor marketing on GMs part that resulted in the death of the f-cars, IMO. There were simply no buyers left.Tracy

One of the reason why 85% of my car buddies are not in my same age bracket. All show no go is the motto of almost everyone my ageOriginally posted by TraceZ The worst part is that the majority of them will trash talk about my car...saying how it's outdated and what not.
One of the reasons on how I selectively choose my friends.
