    Thought you had started a new boy band....

    Any convertible is a great ride! Don't forget first gear is in the wrong place...

    Why? If you have the urge, why not just drive the Mondial? Or did you buy it for commuting?

    I love it! F-Body vs F-Car! I recently bought a '78 Trans Am and put a TREMEC 5-speed in it. So much fun but a totally different animal than the small displacement overhead cam screamer in the Mondial. If I had to choose just one it would be the Mondial, but mostly because the Mondial is my wife's car.
    Congrats,
    Dave

    The Mondial is in the shop. With a recent home purchase and a young daughter the Ferrari makes less sense. It's been a great reliable car but the cost of a potential failure is beyond what I can justify. And the price of the Camaro was right. My Dad gave it to me. :)

    As a side note the Camaro is also costing me money. I changed out the injectors and did a full tune up and new distributor to chase emissions. Took it to a shop to find out the cat was completely hollow. Guess that is what happens when you go from a non emissions place to an emissions place.

    And as awkward as it is, it turns out the engine in the camaro is in the front. How strange :)

    Congratulations on the addition. So many thoughts on suggestions but the best one is to have fun and sleep when you can.
    I'm hoping 2019 will provide me some time and spending money
