Default Svt bait 2.0

I finally made the jump to my [affordable] dream car. Here is the new project: a 2002 Electron Blue Z06. 31,000 miles on it. I flew down last weekend to California to pick it up. Picked it up near San Diego, then drove up to Los Angeles to see the sights, and meet up with the PHK crew.

Without further adieu; SVT BAIT 2.0



San Diego International (they lost our luggage)









Pulled off of Highway 101



Hollywood sign in the background



My Dad’s Old Beverly Hills House





La Jolla





Hanging out with PHK









The wifey approves!

Ah, you did end up getting it ! Flew all the way there for that one eh? Guess it's a long drive back to Ottawa, but should be fun in your new toy!

Are you still going through with the project with my old hood for the bird though?

I actually decided to have it shipped back. It turned out to be cheaper, and I got to enjoy the weekend in California.

Still going to do the hood when I have time, but I won't have a car for it. Might be cool to have someone use it though!

Thank you! Someone has a deposit on the 'Bird holding it until he can come up and get it.
