Default My New Z28

Well, I finally found the right car for me. I found a 2002 SILVER Z28 (A4) with 37,000 miles in Daytona Beach. I drove down and took a look and drove it. It had two areas that had some scratches on it, but I was pretty sure I could work with the two areas with some polish and a buffer, so I over looked them. Super clean exterior and the engine looks brand new. No noticeable leaks around the rear axle and the only aftermarket mod on it was a 3" pipe frrom the y-pipe back and a MAGNAFLOW muffler. Besides needing to lower the car, I need to find some wheels, not keen on the stock 16" wheels it come with.







Thanks for the help guys,

Micah

Yep get rid of those wheels. I have to figure out why anybody at GM would think those wheels look good.

Snow flakes?

Thanks guys, and I know what you mean, what was GM thinking with these wheels? Wait, they weren't. I know some folks like them or tolerate them, but man, they are hideous.

I figured it out when I went out to the car this morning and looked at them and told myself, "That has to be what he was saying, because they do look like snowflakes."
