wow, a haynes manual? up to the big leagues.

dude, are you sure youre ready for such an in depth, superior manual?

and what does making a 15$ purchase have to do with being on the right track for a couple thousand dollar car? i can go out and buy every haynes manual available... and piss on them.

i definitly vote option 3, only closely followed up by the missing option 4, you joining tamparacing.

1970 LS6 Chevelle? 1978 Bandit Edition T/A 400/4speed? 1988 305 TBI Camaro??!?!

also I'm not sure, but I believe the GTO was still considered a Tempest model in '65

I'm also upset that I can't have a skyline for less than 3 million dollars. These cars should of been on the US market since day one.

Thats sad...I'm one person you dumbass...you could hate me all you want, yet you think that I alone are the worst thing to happen to the entire 100+ years of automotive history? Wow

Lets ignore GMs backstabbing of DeLorean, FWD bandwagon, the Vega, Geo's, fart cans, F&F, massive spoilers, 4G63s, the invention of overhead cams, the 1st and 2nd gen Avalons...I could go on...there are plenty of different things that may have been the worst in your opinion...worst case scenerio, I actually make it somewhere in life? I think you arent any more mature than I am.
