    This car reminds me of the 2010 Mustang GT-500. Though its longer. And yellower. Is it common for cars to have racing stripes like that on the front?

    Does it have the high-performance fuel injected engine with the redundant *carburetor?

    *Fox says, while checking out the engine, "Wow, you've got a high-rise double pump carburetor"

    I think I have mentioned this before, but one of my most profoundly proud moments as a parent occurred when my son, who loves Transformers and Transformer movies, told me in his words "you know Daddy, I think the Bumblebee old beater Camaro is way cooler than the Bumblebee new Camaro". Tears welled up in my eyes that day, because I knew that so far, as a father, I have raised my son properly.

    Now I just need to get my daughter and my soon to be born daughter also on the right track. Does anyone have suggestions on how to properly acclimate the unborn to the beater mentality?

    @Flathead McNabb: Drive a beater.

    When they grow up in the presence of a beater, they come to love the old beater. That's how I came to love my POS old Jeep that I had. It was once my grandfather's, then my father's and they drove me around in it all the time. Hence, I had, and continue to have, an irrational love for that car.

    @pauljones: My mother had a Bronco II, a Contour, and a New Beetle as I grew up; none of them were close to "beater" status, yet here I am with a faded, "scary"-looking Volvo 240. Maybe it's just me.

    @pauljones: Expose them early and often and it should stick. I and most of my siblings were conceived in the backseat of my mother's mustang and raised in a VW van and all of us detest the late model cars because of their boring sameness.

    I look at those cars and think: a 1987 subaru unibody held the v8 better. I have never ever driven in a camaro without that pansy feeling below my feet in bouncy floors and rumbling alignments wiggling the very structure of the ENTIRE drivetrain. I would have to tear it apart and weld to my own satisfaction. rust scars on a camaro is not to be taken lightly. The smog removal routine of 1977 is an easy one, I could live with it.

    So thinking about six degrees of separation would buying this mean I am only a seat screw away from nailing Megan? Of course that means I am also nailing Shia Laebuff but considering not many people would know that is a guys name it would sound like I had a sweet three-way.

    wait.....what?

    Crack pipe - I'd only pay somewhere between $1000 and $3500. Other than the price it's perfect. That right there is the shit I usually drive for fun. But now that I've moved up from beater Trans Am to beater Corvette (and been relieved/robbed of one Cutlass) I can afford to be kinda snooty...

    Ain't gotta worry about door dings.

    That was the only cool car in the movie. But I don't care about transformers so I would rather pick up one of these on Craigslist.

    On the other hand the interior is cool. Does the 8-Track work?
