Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been lurking, researching and learning on this great site for several months now. Friends can't believe what I did; but I did it! I always loved the TA's going back to the '69 year and I have always wanted one. So I parted ways with the '80 Vette and looked for months before I found the '02 WS6 that I wanted. Sold the Vette to a good friend which made me very happy 'cause I know he will baby it like I did. I had it 5 years and drove it less than 3,000 miles! Paid some big bucks to get a show car quality paint job last year and put several thousand more dollars into it as well over the 5 years. BUT, it was time to let her go.


Well after months of serious contemplating I sold this: [IMG][/IMG]




To buy this:

I am extremely happy so far with my new baby. I know the small block Chevy well but I have to learn all about the LS1 now. My new challenge. I am looking forward to it. I enjoy reading on here every day and I will start posting as necessary. Thanks,

MARK

I live in the Columbus area. The pic is actually from a small Pontiac, Chevy, GMC dealership in Kenton, Ohio. My good friend is part owner and General Manager of the dealership. I looked for over a month to find the one I wanted and when I did find it my friend worked the deal and bought the TA from a dealership in Indiana to get it off the market while I sold my Vette. So it sat for about 2 weeks there before I picked it up.

I talked to the previous owners; a married couple with a couple kids. It was her car for back and forth to work. Awesome condition, 29,000 miles and it hasnt been raped yet. No mods....................yet! Just ordered the Magnaflow catback as the first mod. Should have it later this week.

It is not my daily driver..........just my toy like the Vette was.
