I bought a Kia!

[lord_verminaard at yahoo.com (Brendan Doyle)]

You know, it's funny, I actually did LIKE the Camaro, but not LOVE it.  I
mean, it was really nice looking, had great performance, but there was
just no love for it.  I can remember when I traded my first car, a 91
Chevrolet Beretta when I got the Camaro, and I had to fight back a tear in
my eye while I was getting all of my stuff out of it.  It was a P.O.S. to
most people, but very reliable, fast, and fun and it really was my baby. 
This time, with the Camaro, I sat in it, took my stuff, and drove off in
my nice new yellow Jeep and didnt look back.  :D

(no, I never had a mullet, and I never put crager SS wheels on the Camaro,
nor did I have big balloon tires in the back.  I remember one hilljack at
the parts store was looking at my brakes (they were slotted/drilled
rotors) and when I came out he said "those are som' strange brakes you got
ther'- how do they stop with 'them holes in 'em?"  blech.)
