Default Sooooooooo... I've been drinking.

And when I drink I do things on impulse....






















So I'm now the proud owner of a 2001 Z28
6-speed
40k miles
Long tubes, y-pipe, catback, lid...etc



Now I just need to buy a plane ticket so I can go pick the damn thing up.

Anybody has a cam and heads for sale I'll be drinking next weekend.

I really haven't decided what to do with this one yet. Maybe I'll leave it the way it is for now, but I have a feeling I'll get bored quick. I didn't really give it alot of thought, the price was right so I bought it. Maybe 12bolt, heads & cam...? It will make a fun summer project for me.

Sweet impulse buy. I do the same, but with my budget I need to keep my drunk purchases in a lower league.
