My Dream Car That I Only Got To Drive Once
# <center>No, it isn't a fancy import with a six-figure price tag.</center>

http://i.imgsafe.org/990320957f.jpg

## <center>It's just good ol' American muscle from a not-so-distant era.</center>
<center>**In my photo is a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC.  It belonged to the father of my girlfriend who I dated during my senior year in high school.  I practically lusted over this beautiful piece of metal.  He let me borrow it one time on the condition that I would wash and detail it.  As you might imagine,  I jumped at the opportunity.**</center>

### <center>Some sports cars of the 1980's lacked the impressive horsepower of their predecessors.</center>  

<center>**Even with a 5.7 liter V8, the IROC only had 230 horsepower, according to automobile-catalog.com.  In today's vehicles, a 4-cylinder engine can easily produce the same power.  But the IROC was no "dog".  It would burn out and leave rubber on pavement like any muscle car.  I didn't try it with this one, however!**</center>

## <center>I will always remember the day I got to drive my dream car.  Thankfully, I took a photo of it to remember.</center>

### <center>What's your dream car?  Drop me a picture in a reply if you want!</center>

Sweet! Love me some muscle cars! Camaros were hot back then and my sister had a red one - manual shift. She was a menace on the road. I don't know what Dad was thinking when he taught her how to 'power shift'. She was too cute to get tickets, too. 

Now me... I wanted the T-bird Dad restored when I was in high school. Black '57 ragtop with portholes and thin red-walls. Had a three on the tree shifter that he switched to four on the floor after he installed the 302 (iirc). This pic is close to what it looked like. I cried when he sold it.

Wow, what a beautiful car.  And for the Camaro, manual shift is the way to go!  The '89 in my photo was an automatic.  Manuals are way more fun.  I bet she had a blast in that red Camaro.

Amen on the manual! It's the difference between driving and just steering. Lol!

And, yes, she had a lot of fun tooling around in it. Had guys drooling over her AND the car. Was hilarious to watch her start talking 'motor-head' and the guys jaws drop. Hehehe...  She was evil. 

And the motor-head talk...  well, we helped Dad restore the T-bird. They never had a chance.
