Default My boyfriend bought me a car

Hello everyone!

My boyfriend just bought me a 99 Z28. I have been eyeballing one for a while now and he finally relented.

And with a new car comes a new car forum. He has several classic Cadillacs that he has restored from the ground up. He gained most of his knowledge of such things online. So now that I have this new car and no idea what it is capable of I thought I would come in and find out.

I live in Seattle and spend most of my non-working hours with my boyfriend going to clubs like Neighbours, or R-Place, but now it looks like they will be spent with the new car and the new car club.

Congrats, yes youll love the car

i built my gf a pretty nice 87 Monte SS, (ttops 350tpi T5) and we just broke up after 2.5 years. Now i really regret building it, I wasted so much time and money for nothing.

I notice you live in Seattle, have you visited the Northwest Section yet? Plenty of good folks in the area, hope to see you all show up at the track by spring. Check signature lines for joining our local group too, we have a couple of females that wrench and race so don't be shy

My son is into Caddy's so if you have any pictures of those that would be great. He'd love to find another 76' Coupe so if you come across one at a *decent* price just use the "Private Message" feature and let me know.

Welcome to your new favorite hobby

Hey sidewayz28, where ya been? You have some catching up to do - I know you have to have done a few new mods lately

Your bro and StickShift (or SS! irony right there) should wave while passing each other, did he replace the fbody he wrecked?

Congratulations on the car. Now you can figure out all the little quirks about our cars that we've had to figure out

Welcome and congrats on the new car. Plan on doing any mods to it right away or just gonna enjoy the factory power for awhile? If you mod it your already off to a good start by being on this site. Wish I did it sooner!
