Default Got yet another car

Went to the dealer to take a look at 08/09 vettes including Z06s which would have been nice. Well really nice, but picked up a Black on Black 08 Trailblazer SS. Fricking stoked but don't pick it up until tomorrow evening so no pics yet but will be putting them up then. Now I have something to trailer the 99 TA to the track incase the bottom half goes which should be the only thing left to break, lol. I'm already asking them if I put a stock LS2 intake manifold on it instead of the crappy camel hump manifold the trucks comes with would I be voiding the warranty But I don't even think they would catch it anyway even if i did. Couldn't pass on the deal they swung my way, and am able to easily keep both TAs which would have broken my damn heart. Thinking I'm going to have a hard time getting to sleep tonight again because I'll be pimping it on 20s tomorrow, lol.

You got it Fran. I'm about to order another MS3, new set of lifters, and lifter trays this week for the 99. I should have it running with in the next week and a half or so.
