Default Traded my truck in for a Z28

I'm not really "new" here...and I'm not really a new owner either since my 2002 2500HD is an LQ4 truck...but I just found a SWEET Pewter 2000 Z28 M6 hard top...I couldn't pass it up, it's just too clean and it's the car I've wanted for a few years now (even the color)...I'm picking it up saturday. I could have taken it tonight, but I need to take the stereo out of the truck and put the stock one back in.

good find, why get rid of the truck, I think you may regret that.

I LOVE the truck...but the gas mileage with the LQ4 and my commute...just isn't working...besides...I'm getting tired of all my friends autocrossing (I used to kick their asses...now they are better drivers and I am out of practice) while I get asked to help people move furniture

Also...it was either the truck or my 95 Impala SS (converted to a T56 years ago)...and I'm keeping that car forever...even though it is in the midst of a ridiculous LS1 conversion (involving boost) and I haven't driven it in over a year.

Thats the worst. Not only that when people ask to borrow it they expect you to come drop it off to them. If you wanna use it you pick it up!
