On my way home from my parents house tonight, somewhere in Maryland (and 200 miles from home) I found that someone had set up a "deer slalom" in the middle of the interstate. I made it through, but I wound up +1 for my efforts. I almost missed it, I'm pretty sure it stayed in the box......

And buy a little S10 for everyday driving (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Ya know, I originally bought the Camaro (my second 4th gen) because that's what I wanted to drive every day. Even with the Camaro seats the only car (under $35K) I know of that was more comfortable was a TA, so now I've got the TA seats (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) Even in it's current form, the main drawbacks as a DD are the lack of ground clearance, increasing investment/decreasing value, and my aversion to salt.

I keep daydreaming about getting a stock Firebird as a "beater", putting good shocks, a 1LE front bar, and 16" all-season tires on it and calling it done (I already have a set of winter tires). The "smart" choice would be the 3.8 V6, but I'd probably have to hold out for an LS1 Formula.

I did buy a high mileage (cheap) Dodge Ram a few years ago, and drive it when the weather sucks, but it's too expensive to drive all the time and not nearly as comfortable.

My father has a 2002 S10 with a 4 cylinder, auto, 4.10 gears, and my old stock T2. I just drove it recently, and it's surprisingly peppy, but boy do the stock shocks suck!

Actually, the smartest thing would have been to leave my loaded Z28 stock as a DD and get a bare Formula to build. C'est la vie.
