Soon be 64. Use to chase women, drink booze and drive a fast car...the rest of the money I just pissed away. Now I am left with just the car but having a ball.

glad to see there are still some of us old timers left. bought my first gold ta in 79 at age 19. put 108k on it in 14 years and sold it to a young guy that totaled it a month later. bought the gold 98 new and 10 years later have over 220k on it. the tranny needs some tlc so i have it garaged without tags till i can find the time to work on it. its absolutely the best car i have had. it is no doubt the best bang for the buck.

Good to see that once I'm done chasing women, drinking booze and pissing money away I will still have my baby - a '98 T/A that I've had since I was 29. 32 now!

What...??? Don't you live in Florida???? I live in Ardmore...it's like 10 miles west of center city...Near Villanova University. Nice area...especially if you have money lol.[/QUOTE]

Yes, i do. Nice, sunny, warm, South Florida, however, I grew up in Philly and went to Temple U. I am very familar with Ardmore, I have relatives there. I grew up in the North East around Grant and the Blvd. Went to Germantown Academy for H.S.. I miss the area, but Fort Lauderdale has women in g-string bathing suits all year round. The views are better and the top stays down all year.

I go to Temple as you can see, haha. I would love to live in FL though.

Nothing wrong with Temple. I of course went many moons ago. I Graduated in 1990.

Yeah, i think I'm gonna stay even though it wasn't my first choice but i like it a lot and its a good location so i can take the R5 home and drive my T/A on weekends!

Yeah, it wasn't my first choice either, but it was close to my girlfriend at the time and some of my old drinking buddy's. So it worked. I don't remember much about classes. I had a 1987 IROC Z back then and I spend most of my time and energy dirnking beer, hanging out on Front street racing, and running from the Po Po.

49 here. Got my first bird, a 76 Orange Formula after totalling my 74 Type LT on my 18th birthday. Had a 72 Chevelle before that. Then did a 76 Monte Carlo, went through the custom van thing for a while (I was building them). Then found a nice 70 1/2 black Camaro for several years, then an 88 black Camaro which is still on the road somewhere with over 300K. Went through the minivans for a couple of years, then my oldest totalled the last one. It was me time again, but with him on my insurance I had to be careful. Bought a 98 Dk. Blue 3.8 loaded, then my 99 Harley a few months later. Business put me in cowboy cadillacs, 3 over the next few years, then found a steal on my 98 Black T/A back the first of the summer (5K). I may do a new black Vette in the near future, but the 98 will always remain my daily driver!!! You're never too old for horsepower, and you young guns out there cherish every mile in this life.

Well thank you. Im actually on my 4th car in less then 2 years. And ive only spent 3000 on one car.. Ive been trading my way up. So if i sold this car, realistacally i made 7000 for just getting a few cars and washing them!
