Default My 98% Stock Trans Am

Just got her this past Saturday. It was dirty as hell, so I gave it a quick bath today while it was warm out.

Its an 2002 M6. Got her for $10k.

Only mods are:
SLP Lid (done yesterday)
B&M Short shifter (I think, the shifter isn't stock)
and 35% tint all around.

Damn man you got a hell of a deal. $10k for an '02 with 41k on the clock? That's peanuts.

Now all you need is a set of rims and the engine bay cleaned. I recommend getting Awesome Orange from the dollar store (it's an Orange Clean knockoff), spray down the whole engine bay with that stuff. let it sit for 5 minutes and GENTLY hose everything down. Just try not to get any water up in the top left corner near the PCM. Also, make sure the cap to the crankcase (oil fill cap), radiator, dipsticks and all that stuff is nice and tight before you spray water in your engine bay.

Yeah, thanks.

I bought it from my Aunt. She is going through a divorce and some major financial problems..so she had to let it go. I was the only person she was willing to sell it to, just because I have always told her if she wanted to sell it I'd buy it....and now after 4 years of her having it, I own it.
