thanks for all the advice. I agree that i need a safe car, but yet i love that V8 feel when i drive my cousins Z28. i guess i should pass up this deal because if i think about it i could hold off for a while and get a classic. I say this because I would more likely appreciate the car and love fixing (restoring) the car with my dad. once again thanks for the advice. P.S. what does "treekiller" mean by "my frog skins"
