Well, my 96 Camaro looks exactly like this one (although this is not mine), it has about 32,000 miles on it.

This is what my 69 Camaro looked like when I got it a month ago. I have been working on it since so it looks a little different but it is a complete restoration job (not ye road worthy, LOL).

The family car is a 1990 Volvo 740 Wagon(still going strong) and a 1992 Honda Accord EX. By the time I can drive, the Volvo will be a new Volvo V70 and the Accord a late model Volvo S70.

Yeah, we are Volvo people. 8)

Sadly, the mustang is a 3.8L 6cyl. Even with a clean driving record the damn thing costs over 300 a month to insure in jersey! I'd hate to see what the 8 would be.

Hahahahaha, If it were all about the engine I'd have a beat up old Pinto with a Viper v-10 in it!

I am 28, and I only have one ticket, which was for 10mph over the limit back in 1996! Needless to say it's completely erased from my record.

Most states in the US are pretty good for insurance, but NJ has a bunch of problems. My town is 3/4 of a mile from manhattan, and while Hoboken is really ritzy, we are only a 10 min drive to Jersey City, the stolen car capitol of the world. That and the high number of uninsured illegal immigrants in north Jersey drives up costs . .

Add to that the $150 I pay a month for a parking space and I am out almost $500 every month . . . and I don't even have any payments left to make on the car!!!

I feel an old git... Sad

I drive a'94 VW Passat Variant 2.0GL.
And a '96 Fiat Punto 60S when the missus takes the VW.

To compensate for all this grocery/children transporting capacity I ride a really cool Honda VFR400R, black visor on the Arai 8)so I don't get recognised as being mister avarage....

not true. The Passat is a great car. Lacks at least 2 cilinders though. Undecided
