Default Pics of my SOM WS6

Well I got the car about 3 months ago, and I think I finally figured out how to post pics. Resized them to fit, we'll see. I've wanted a WS6 T/A since they first came out in 98, at that time I was only 12 but we can all dream. It's a 01 6speed, t top as you can see from the pics, 12,800 miles. Came all the way from St. Paul MN. After my brother getting a 02 CE a yr ago, I started saving. Stopped buying things for my S10 and just saved. Needless to say I basically put my-self in debt for the next few years, hopefully I'll make it through, but damn I love this car. Mods are in the Sig, hopefulyl 4.10's this spring. Not going to mod it much, just a few bolt on's

Beautiful color and car. The debt will be gone before you know it, you just have to be smart about it when you start doing your mods and researching. It’s always cheaper to buy something the first time, then going through five different parts. Even more if the part was posted on here proving that it was the better buy.

wow, didn't expect that many replys. Thanks alot!! It was bone stock when I got it, I painted the SLP lid I bought off ebay, and just last week put the GMMG exhaust on. I put 500 miles on it since i got it. Only driven on nice days. And after every drive I clean it all over. Don't wash it, just dust it off and re wax it. I've spent alot of hours detailing it so far, I'm extremly picky. haha.

I wanted a SOM with low mileage, and obviously thats kinda hard to find. But i was very lucky here, I paid more than it was worth, but The cars in perfect condition, except for one little scratch on the pass side. The previous owner said it was only wet 2 times since he bought it new.


O and the emblem on the left rear bumper is a Hurst, as someone said. It's hard to tell.
