so i usually go to these cruise nights by me but this summer i have been so busy i have only gone out about 3 times. so i went out lastnight and a few guys asked me what have i been up to this winter and spring with the car. i told them i have been working on my rx7's suspension and i told them about my chevelle that i bought. and man i never seen so many guys tell me i should of never bought it...lol man they told me i should of gotten a nova because chevelles are a dime a dozen and so on so forth. i laughed because i looked around and i saw 1 chevelle and about 7 novas. i told them well hey look i see one 70 chevelle sitting here and i see about 5 novas just in this row alone. and they told me so many things i just laughed and told them look i like my chevelle so far and i will not get a nova because i see them everywhere...lol just thought it was funny enough to share

Shaun every car has it's lovers and haters. I think that it is up to you to make your Chevelle something special so it stands alone. I went to a show today and saw so many Mustangs, at least 10-15. Do I remember anyone of them, no, none of them stood out. Just take what people say with a grain of salt.

I always told my kids that people make fun of them or give them a hard time....because they are jealous. I think that is what you have going on.

I love Nova's ,my first car at 15 years old was a 69 Nova but I prefer Chevelles over a Nova . There are more Chevelles around my area than Nova's but I like them all.I even like the Rustangs and everything in between .I also think Chevelles hold their values better unless you find a Nova SS .

My bank acount, or lack there of tells me Chevelle's are not a dime a dozen.
Albuquerque is a pretty large city and I see maybe one or two Chevelle's around here, same goes for Nova's.
What I see the most of is Camaro's, and Mustangs.
To each his own, gotta take what most people say with a grain of salt and laugh it off.

More Chevelles around here than Novas. I don't care, I like my Chevelle. I didn't buy for anyone else, just me. I would like a nice Nova with a big block in it though.

Not many Novas around here, but there's a lot of Chevelles... Novas are cool, but they don't have the room a Chevelle has. I wouldn't be able to haul my wife & 2 kids in car-seats nearly as easily in a Nova.

I like all the muscle-era Chevys. I have Chevelles, my brothers both have Impalas, and my Dad has a '68 Camaro. (no Novas, but they're the same size inside as a Camaro). I wouldn't trade my Chevelle for any of the others. The Chevelle has plenty of room, but it's not a boat either... perfect size for a nice family cruiser.

I'd ask how many of them had a Chevelle in their backyard and then follow that up with since they are a dime-a-dozen you'll take it off their hands. I had a bunch of kids with new imports telling me how my car is a dinosaur and a rot box and probably handles like a bag of crap. The real good part is when they go to leave and all I hear is the exhaust and trunk rattling and the cloud of smoke coming from the exhaust. Just remember that at one time even the 55 Chevy was a cookie-cutter like a 87-93 fox body rustang for a good number of years. I bet you could go practically anywhere and run into someone who claims to have had one at some time in their lives. If it is the car that you want, it doesn't matter who thinks it is popular or a piece of crap. Me personally, the only RX7 I ever liked had a 350 Chevy in it with a TH350. I worked on it when was in Highschool as a automotive tech project. If I ever got to do another one you bet your rearend it would be LSX-based with a 6 speed.

i know what you mean man i hate the import game now. i use to be so big into civics but man i hate them today! i would only own another civic if it was like my sister in laws new 2012 civic, which is more for gas miles and comfort then anything else! as for the rx7 man i hated the rotary motor but i wanted to do something different so i found a website that helped get v8s in them which is why i have an ls6/t56 in my rx7 now :)
