Just got home and it turned over 74k on the drive back. The car has excellent manners and was a joy to drive. Suspension seems a bit soft for me, but I think I can handle a plush ride until I feel like getting some Bilsteins and springs. I need to borrow a digital camera from my wifes friend so I can get some pictures. This weekend is going to be cleaning time mostly. It is a '00 Pewter/Black TA M6 with factory Chrome wheels so it looks just like the car in JerseyLS1's sig. Very sharp car! It does have some modifications coming it's way when I can afford the time and money. Probably do exhaust/lid/cam first, and go from there. I'm not sure about LT's because i'm gonna go turbo with it. So that would mostly be a waste to do. It'll get a Moser 9" before the Turbo though and everything else basically is up in the air! It's nice to have a car to play with!

Later fellas, I gotta take the wife for a drive for ice cream!

Oh yeah, I purchased it from the original owner. I just got done cleaning the windows, that back glass is a BITCH! It's too dark for me to do anything else now.
