Default I got a new car...

With the loss of the Z28 I couldn't wait that long. I bought something with an IRS, it has a few miles but it already has some mod's. Come check it out at Don's tomorrow!

And yes, I finally went back to a manual tranny.

I'm guessing a GTO or a Cobra.

Hopefully you did the right thing

Without a turbo or s/c already installed I wouldnt get one. They are too heavy for me.

I dont race at the track much but I like cars just as much. Mod's only hold my interest for the first month then it's boring and it's hard to keep going. I'm still alive and well into the scene but I'm really picky now.....really picky where if I dont get what I want I rather driver the hornet.

Well,since he's willing to drive it in this shitty weather I'll say it's a daily driver.Hopefully something like a G8 if they are even out yet.

Will probly be a newer Caviler.

Blah, I rather have a LS2 GTO over the G8's. The are 3950 pounds dry.

I wouldnt touch an older CTS for anything, too many IRS issues.

You guys will like it, you'll see tomorrow. I should of waited until the spring but I'll just have to get a cover for it.
