What car did you own before your LS4? I had a 2000 Buick GS. It had 18K on it when I bought it in 2003 (lease turn-in). It was a great car with good handling, decent performance and it routinely got ~30 mpg. I purchased the GMPP handling kit for the car and what a difference! It already had a front STB from the factory and I added one to the back from the same kit. I found a chrome Regal LS grille on ebay and threw that on there just to add a little more flair. I had Eric Schertz (R.I.P.) from Dynotech freshen up the trans with a mild shift kit and PCM tune. Other than that it was a nice cruiser.
Let's hear what you guys had.......pics are a plus!!!

2001 Eclipse Spyder GS, 5 speed
Was actually a nice car. Not a sports car by any means but looked good, was great on gas, and never gave me problems like my GXP has...

84 MC SS, it got stolen though, and my parents. So they gave me the 1K I put into it for rims/ties and got a 95 Blazer. 175K. POS! Love my 06 though, wouldn't trade her for the world (maybe just a RWD version). Hahaha!

99 Mercury Mountaineer. I had to look through the net for a pic of one. Mine was this color but with a brush guard, KC lights, and bigger tires. I ran that thing into the ground, and they still gave me almost $4k on trade in for the Impala!!
