Hello from Guatemala! :) Just saying hello to other F-body lovers (specially white ones). I've owned 2 F-bodies (all white) and just got my 3rd white one in the mail.
My first one was an 86 IROC-Z:
I sold that one to my brother and got a 96 LT1. That car kicked ***
I loved that car and raced the hell out of it, until this past november when I crashed it:
So I decided to move up and got my self a WS6, and after weeks of waiting for the boat to arrive (shipped it from California), my WS6 is finally here
This is how it arrived... so dirty:
Washing it up...
I'm so happy...
Gonna get more pics tomorrow when there sun is up... anyways, I'm so happy to be an LS1 owner now

I lost control with my mickey thompson ETs cause it rained for a few minutes after weeks of great weather
The signs have a cement base, that's why the car looks like it got hit from the bottom. Here you can barely see the cement base on the left:
The car held up great actually.

Around $8000+ to my door step (including the price of the car, taxes, licence plates, etc.).
The car had a salvage title, but that doesn't exist over here, so I don't care... the only damage it has is on one wheel and the right spoiler. Looks like the previous owner slammed against a curb or something like that and broke it... so I only have to buy that and the car is like new again. Very well kept actually... I have no idea why this car was declared a total loss by the insurance of the previous owner... you think it's because they're discontinued?

You had that shipped to Guatemala?!! .. **** around! 
.. I'm half Chapine and I know that my **** would get jacked out there in Guatemala in a 'SNAP'! .. It's like parking an unlocked Bentley in the center of Harlem!

$8000 x 7.60 = Q.60,800... (Q. = Quetzales)
That's actually pretty cheap for the car I've alwasy been in love with A 2008 Toyota Yaris is around Q.100,000 over here If they still sold the WS6, I think I would need to pay around Q.300-350,000 for it.
Hello fellow chapin! American cars are not that popular... Popular cars like hondas, toyotas and luxury SUVs are the ones they jack and strip or take them to another country 
A brand new toyota pickup wouldn't last me 5 minutes here...
How long have you been out of "Chapinlandia"?

I know some missionaries that go to Guatemala. From the way they talk, it's surprising there are any cars other than 1980's Geo Metros and Honda Civic hatchbacks over there. What a surprising post.
Well, have fun with your dream car! The Iroc is sweet, too. Oh, and I don't think your 96's T56 will fit right in your '01, if that's the one you have lying around.

We even got 2 new M3s before they started selling them in the US (that means importing them from Germany and paying $100,000+ for them).
JDM imported sports cars are very common too, Skylines, Pulsars, EVOs, RX7s, all right hand drive...
