Default New from TN

Well, i'm back in the muscle car world. About 5 years ago I bought a 94 Z28. it had over 120k on it, and I did every bolt-on in the book. Also had a new engine put in swapped it to a 6spd and re-painted viper red. After all of that she still felt like a car that would never be up to par to me. So I bought a silverado, sold the Z28. Lifted the truck, then wanted something sporty again. After 6 months in a new altima coupe I relized what I should've done in the first place... I needed a newer version of what I had! So after trying to sell the altima for a month, I finally got an offer that I didn't want. Then I found the car I wanted.. a 2001 pontiac firebird formula NBM 6spd w/ 70k miles. I stole the car at the auto auction today for a whopping $5700!! She needed a set of tires, and thats done. Total $ cost of car 6422, after tires alignment and oil change!

Here she is

She's still a virgin in the mod book, 100% stock and unmolested ... let the modding begin!

And since I've seen so many others do it, add me on myspace if you want lol.
