I think that calls for a late 80's IROC-Z with T-tops. Definitely an automatic transmission.

The stone-washed jeans scream for a some surface rust around the wheel arches, and the bag and cell phone demand some well-worn seats and carpeting that hasn't been vacuumed since 1995. Tobacco stains are a must.

Don't forget the taco-bell back with some unused sauce packets in the floorboards.

Why even bother mentioning it? It was a standard feature from the factory, no?

Nope, factory option with the interior group that included the Delco Bose tape deck, or the lighted glove box

Why'd I figure that was coming? Oh well...

BTW, I'm not going to block the view of my back quarter windows with louvers like those. Actually, don't think I'll mod the thing at all. Why bother? All I use it for is to get to the pool hall & back...well, the pool hall & other places.

Be afraid, Porsche snobs...be very afraid. American ponies are pretty damned quick these days.

Yep. That's what happens when "muscle car" owners attempt to drive Porsches...

LOL! I'm sure a GT3 owner would let his pony car neighbor take it for a spin...

But, but...I thought Porsche drivers were always in control.

But...but...doesn't the Camaro have IRS for superior handling? This must have been a collision with an inferior car...like a Mustang.

This one hasn't been crashed, just getting a wide body kit & a set of 30" (yes, 30s) wheels

the one Byron posted will probably turn out pretty cool too, and it is not that mustang, it is the Fox body with that sweet V-8, but besides that the picture Paul posted is otherwise accurate representation of the mullet domesticus americanus.

Maybe like Keith Stone's, he is so smooth. Late model, two tone Nascar style paintjob Saw that on some speed channel show about the shop that put together a car for a TV commercial for keystone beer
