Default hey everyone!

Hey everyone my name is Don and I'm from Palm bay, Fl. Well to start when i was 16 i picked up a mint 95 v6 car, leather, auto, convert...great car. I sold it to put money into a 92 i picked up with an l98...had that punched out to a 355 and added a cam and some other various things. I drove that for a year then picked up a 88 iroc with a 383 from engine factory...edelbrock tpi system, edelbrock perfromer heads, cam, valvtrain work. I drove that for a month and recently did a compression test because of nasty detonation issues and weird crank case pressure problem i was having and sure enough cly #5 had 115 where as all the others had like 240-250 which seemed wayyy to high to be a 10:1 motor. So after 2 years of annoying problems with the thirdgens..rust, no a/c yatta yatta and because i missed my 95 pretty bad, i decided to take out a loan and buy a 96 z28 i had test drove a month ago for a friend who was looking at it. She decided she didnt want it so i called em and sure enough it was still there. I picked it up for 3500$. All new a/c stuff, brakes, new lt1 engine from jasper engines (17,000 miles on it), new opti, waterpump, radiator and other various fixes. I love the new car and couldnt be happier..not to mention its my first manuel and never again will i buy an automatic heh. So here she is. She looks like a car kinda dragged donw the passanger side so thats where the primer spots from. He said he friend tried to fix it and did a crappy job. Ill get it fixed soon enough. Now on another note...the wing. Im not really a fan of it. However i have some new 17 inch black c5 zo6 wheels waiting to go on (they were originally purchased for the 88..now i dont need spacers yay heh). So maybe when i stick those on with some fatter rubber (235s all around right now ha) it will look better, who knows. Anyway, enjoy!













now that...is an introduction
