Default semi-new here

sup everyone, i joined here a good while back but rarely ever post. i just come here from time to time to gather info. however i just purchased my first lsx equipped vehicle. ive been an avid lover of gm's ls engines for years and ive been wanting one for a while but with three kids my budget just hasnt allowed, until now... i just picked up the deal of a lifetime. i purchased a 2005 black metallic pontiac gto ls2 a4 with 95,000 miles on the clock for six thousand bux! im stoked and i am absoloutley in love with the car. now im looking to make it even more enjoyable by modding the hell out of it lol. anyway just thought id drop in and introduce myself and my car.

No kidding. I'd like to why so cheap. If I could find a LS2 GTO for that price I'd buy it!

yes! six g's! i am a fedex ground driver and i pickup and deliver at this place everyday. i seen the car daily for the last five years. so monday it was out by the road with a sign on the windshield. i walk out to it and it has 6000 on it. i actually laughed and called my cousin (who owns a 35th ann 02 z28) and laughed about it. we were like "this idiot forgot the 1 in front of the 6... lol" etc. so i didnt even ask the guy about the car. the next day i come back and it has a sign on each side window and one on the windshield. so again i walk out to it. all three have 6000 written on them. the next morning i went to the bank haha. i asked the guy why he was selling the car. he said he bought it new for 37000 at ron anderson pontiac in fernandina bch florida and loved it but has since had 3 or 4 back surgerys and now he cant get in and out of it without his back killing him. he bought a new crew cab ltz z71 and put the car out by the road for 6 grand just to get rid of it. i asked for a copy of the title and he gladly made me one. i took the copy to my banker and sure enough everything was clean. they were more than happy to loan me the 6000 on it lol. so the next morning i carried him 60 100 dollar bills smiling like a jackass! after getting home i realize it has 2 P3 fosgate 12's and a fosgate 1200.2 and 600.4 in the trunk in a fosgate ported box, all the door/dash speakers are fosgate, it has 2 xo vision tv's in the headrests, and a flip out touch screen dvd headunit with nav. he also gave me a brand spanking new set of bfg gforce 245/45/17s and the stock wheels, the stock blaupunkt six disc changer, all the remotes, and that night i figured out it has h.i.d. lights in the lows highs and fogs. i couldnt be happier.

Looks like you have some nice plans for it. You should pick up some 06 tails.
