Default Hello from IL

Just saying hi. My name is Dawn. I currently own an '02 NHRA edition TA (see sig) and my boyfriend and I together purchased an '05 MBM GTO m6 last fall. He also owns a '69 RS/SS Camaro. I guess you could say that we're really into our cars, together we own 6. Now we're just waiting for the weather to get better so we can enjoy them!

Thanks!

I'm selling the TA because with 6 cars between us, we have too many cars, lol and it just kind of worked out that way. We need a bigger house/garage and it would be easier with one less car payment. Also, we both really like racing and didn't want to put that kind of stress and mods on the TA with it being a special edition. Darrin sold a high 8 sec '91 Camaro Z28 when he bought the '69 and we'd both like to have a race car again. So, the plan is to buy a bigger house with enough garage space for all the toys then buy a 4th gen Camaro (doesn't have to run, just needs to have a good body) and build it to take to the track and play.

A couple of pics of the race car:
