Default I actually drove the orange car today - small photoshoot

Well as some of you know I sold my Firehawk yesterday. It went to a good home but I will miss having a "driver" for a while. So I figured what the hell and carried my SOM car out for a drive. I put more miles on it today than I have in the last year...I had forgot how fun it was to actually drive it!

Anyway, I had to go to work and pick something up...and since the parking garage was empty I took a few pics:















Its amazing how much SOM changes between the shade and direct sunlight:

I love the 5th pic. Once I install my corsa clones our cars would be almost identical save for the color.

I think your car would look "finished" with a ceta mod and some 08 z06 brake calipers. BBK's for that car or go home. Those rims are begging for some BBK's.

I guess it wont ever looked finished then because it will never have the CETA mod done to it. It just doesnt look right on SOM to me at all.

Honestly, someone was willing to buy it for what I was willing to sell it for. I wasn't trying to sell it, but as you know everything is for sale!

Besides that I came to conclusion a f-body just isnt my ideal daily driver anymore and the whole G8 Firehawk think left a real bad taste in my mouth. So now a knew owner is enjoying it and its in very good hands!

plus now you have that much more time and energy to focus on the orange car, i hear you on the for sale thing if some one wanted to give what i would want for mine they would be retarted and i would have alot more money.

Cool. They throw me off since Corsa did away with the Pro 4.0 tips.
