Nice looking car! I always liked the 3rd and 4th gen convertibles, they look so much better than the mustang.

Never been one for verts but that looks great. Only drove to get some breakfast and that simply was not enough. But I did pull the heads off the mustang that I'm putting on my Chevy truck.

You've gone through more cars in the last 3 months than I have in my 32 years of existence.

No, I sold a 35th LE SS and doubled my money.... I picked up a Lightning not long afterwards and still had money in the bank...

No it's not a bad thing, especially if your significant other doesn't complain. It's just nuts seeing this since I get attached to my rides

I don't have one of those now Joe... Had one for 18 yrs... too many trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, Horn of Africa made her,,,,, well stray... "yeah me"... Been Divorced since 09.... Now, I do have a fiance' ( 5 yrs strong) and she's good with my car OCDism...... There are worse things right...lol....

I really liked the 35th LE SS..... M6 ... It was a great car! I had planned on keeping it awhile... But when a guy offers you double what you paid CASH!! Well, that trumps my personal feelings for the car. Ya know...

As Zones98RS said.... I too have never owned a Vert... but this one is bone stock right down to the paper filter, other than complete suspension upgrades. Most of my cars are heavily modified. Even in stock form this LS1 is a great engine!!! This thing hauls ( for what it is).... I'll add a ported TB, LS6 intake, SLP lid.... That's prolly about all this one is gonna get....

We'll see.....

Thanks for the kind words guys... I'll get some better pics soon...
