How much does that shave off your 0-60? Also, do you know any car insurance companies that would offer policies to owners of modified cars, i was thinking of getting more engine mods, but without declaring it if i have an accident i could void all compensation...

Guys, I have a question for you... My dad is buying a new car and I might start driving his old one... The question for you is how would a Mk1 Golf 1.6 bench against a newer peugout 106 1.6? Cheers in advance.

I used to be a valet for a pretty big casino, so I've either driven or seen just about every kind of car made.
That's a good job if you like expensive / nice cars, aus... Get a job as a valet at a nice hotel or casino. Godo tips, good money.

Nice Camaro. What year is that? 96, 97? Somewhere around there.
I am a huge fan of it's twin, firebird. Owned 3 so far and plan to get another soon. Gonna try and trade the eclipse for a 99-2001-ish Trans Am with low miles and preferably WS6. Oh how I miss the sound of an LS1. I've gotten to used to the weed eater and swishing noise of my car that I'd almost forgotten until I saw your car, lol.

Actually, lol, you probably won't believe me when I say this but I live on the Mississippi Coast. It wouldn't seem like the casino type area, but we have the second biggest strip of casino's second to only Vegas. I worked for a casino that was actually owned by MGM Mirage, though. So we were linked back to Vegas. A lot of the valet's here went to Vegas because most of the valets in Vegas (if they work at the nicer casinos: Bellagio, MGM Grand, etc...) make around $40k/annualy.
It's a really good job if you don't mind running your ass off and equally kissing ass. There was once a high roller came in and parked a Lambo Diablo on the valet, but didn't want anyone to touch it. He gave one of the limo driver's $500 to just watch it and make sure no one fucked with it. I still remember it as it was the 3rd day of my training in valet. It was bright yellow and the license plate said "200PLUS".
