Default Firehawk is SOLD......

I decided to sell my car after realizing that I couldn't keep it up throughout the summer, gas is way too expensive and currently I don't even have a job to support putting gas in it, I really didn't want to have to worry for another summer, so I decided its time to go get more of a daily driver.....

Good thing is.....

Car was sold to Ronnie Duke, so its in good hands and will most likely go along to be another mid 8 or future 7 second car......I'm sure we will all see and hear about it sooner or later, I'm just really happy its in the right hands....it made the whole letting it go process a lot easier....

So anyways.....

I'm going to pick up my new car this afternoon......

Hey Bos, Bill said something about the new car and i thought he said you were picking it up somewhere up by my neighborhood. Let me know where you got it from, cause it almost sounds like it was my pop's old ride

Well then there was one Nope I'll keep my bird, when I was jobless for almost a year...I kept modding it with what money I had because I was too close to my goal. If i'd sold it i'd take a huge loss money wise that I can't afford to take..so its staying here no matter what. Thus I bought the 6'er its GREAT ON GAS and looks awesome.

Bos I knew this would be going done soon when looking for another car in the cars for sale section I saw your ramblings about selling the old hawk, Zya bro, O I forgot, 6 or eight cylinders on the next ride

Hope ronnie duke makes that bird fly

It sucks when someone has to sell their hotrod because of money problems. I`ve had my 98 Formula for 7 years and with the $$ I have spent over the years I`d be sick if I ever sold it.

Good luck Brian, sounds like a wise decision and you sold the car to a person who can appreciate the excellent parts you have added to the car.

Nice upgrade Bos. Now just save up 10K and throw a Magnacharger and new hood on it! With the weight of a Z06 it will probably not be far off the Hawk! Good luck and I'm Jealous!
