Default Finally Back!

I'm finally back in an LS1!!

Well, its only been like 3 months but it feels so good!! I used to have a 1998 Trans Am Ws6 M6 which I sold because the mileage scared me. Then I decided to get a mustang and try something new. That plan died after like 2 months of driving the mustang. It was a fun car and all but nothing like an F-body. So This morning i picked up my new car. NBM 1999 Z28 A4 all options bone stock. I must say that I am very impressed by the automatic. It kicks out sideways going into second gear, which seems odd for an A4, especially a stock one... But hey that just means more fun for me! Anyways, Ill post some pics of it soon once I get my camera going.

Nah its bone stick, almost mysteriously stock... But ya Bobby it was in Avon so you may have seen it. If you make your way back to C-Town anytime soon I'll definitely have a go at it. I would come down there but I got my license ganked for 60 days so im not doing any distance traveling and im barely even driving.

Welcome back nice choice nbm camaro's are the best! If it is chirping or spinning when it shift's it's either not stock or you got some hockey pucks for tires.
