In the form of a 3rd gen F-body Camaro. I found one similar to the one above tonight, in two-tone blue. This one was a V6. Now here's where the nostalgia come in: it reminded me of two cars from when I was growing up.

The first one is more obvious: a friend of mine's mom had a 1988 V6 Camaro. It was two-tone as well, but with a deep red color (similar to the picture, but again, a V6). They still have it, but it's currently being stored long term (~6 or 7 years already). One of these days, I'll convince my friend to get it back on the road.

The second one is a little obscure. My aunt and uncle had a 1989 Cavalier Z24. This one was two-tone blue, just like the Camaro I saw tonight. I always liked how it looked and sounded, and I especially liked the wheels. Interestingly enough, the Z24 has pretty close to the same 2.8L V6 as the Camaro.

I love those wheels on the Cavalier. Shame I haven't seen anything like it.

they still are cool. It's just that everything now has to resemble a spaceship with flimsy build quality.
