Freshman at Ferris State University for Automotive Engineering. I had to settle for the "poor man's vette" aka a Camaro. 1987 Iroc-Z but I can't wait to get a 1980 black on black 4 speed.

Damn, the college students daily drivers are nicer than mine, and most of them have a Vette too. Don't forget to have a good time, but if you do, I'm sure I did enough partying for everyone when I was in college. BTW, my only ride was a restored 71 Cutlass, it was in pretty good shape. This was in the early 90's. Anyone want to bet me whether I can get 2 kegs in the trunk with the lid closed? (did it many times!)

Well, I am way to old for this post, but my daughter Dana goes to Oneonta and she will some day inherit my 81. She is a senior.
Have a Merry Christmas.

I worked 2 jobs all summer and winter breaks through high school and college to be able to afford my c3. I have no time during the school year, I am only able to put it on the road for the summer, then store it away (driveway). I think it's a good investment besides it being my favorite car
