My first car. Can you believe I agreed to sell it if I bought a 2002 Z06? Well I kept it for another 3 years before my wife called me on it.

Here's what it looked like in August 2005. One lucky 15 year old bought it:

Taken about 3 weeks after I took delivery back in 2000...lol


Less than a year later at the SLP Days in Milan, MI. Won the "Furthest Traveled" award.


2 1/2 months after the Milan, MI show:


After a kid turned left in front of me; August '02


Calendar shot taken after I got the car back from the body shop post-wreck:


How she is now:


No plans on ever getting rid of her. She was my first brand new car I bought as well as my first F-Body... SOOO many memories!

Nice car man, looks like the body shop did a great repair job...

I had the chrome twisties on it when I bought the car, then recently bought the Firehawks... They had been curbed pretty badly (one has a nice chip about to fall off) by previous owner and needed new rear tires, also they were really out of balance (previous owner had a blower on his Firehawk and these were one set of his abuse wheels, I guess). From 5 ft. they look great. Anyways, I couldn't justify purchasing 2 new tires at the time or repairing them so I took em off. Figured I could get the curbing repaired with them off and get new tires at a later date when I had more cash. They are in large trash bags collecting dust until I feel I can afford to (and have time to) have 'em repaired.

I do agree though, it looked bad ***. Slowed down the acceleration noticably though. Love these 3.8s...
