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 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.
That is EXACTLY what i was looking for which is why the chevelle was the best choice for me!

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
