Default Picking it up soon...

Hey all,
I'm from Allentown, PA... my name is Ryan but everyone calls me Seven.
I'm 21 and have owned 14 cars so far (this Camaro will be 15). Most of em were pretty modded and most were import/european. I'm in school for mechanical engineering and work for a Cingular Store as a sales rep while in school.
I'm planning on picking up a 1998 Z28 in the next week or two (putting a deposit on one this weekend hopefully) and planning on selling my Jetta 20v Turbo shortly for it.
Since drag racing was always one of my favorite things, the Camaro should be fun. And maybe in a year I can upgrade to a used C5.
Anyways... Hi!

Well it was a 1.8l 20v inline 4 cylinder turbo. Not a VR6.
However, I put a deposit on the Z28 I was looking at.
1998 Silver 6 speed... every option but leather.
114k on the clock $6900 for it.

Not bad, clears up debt on my part because it's inexpensive (Jetta should sell for 8500-9500) and will give me a more powerful RWD car. A low 13 second car as opposed to a high 13 sec car. It also has an MTI lid already as well as Borla cat-back exhaust.

All in all, I'm pretty giddy about it. I'll post pics later.
