You are going to have the best time of your life. Its a great feeling just to get up and look out the window in the driveway and just smile.

Wow thanks everyone. And in response to a couple things that were said... 99transamLS1... It is the BEST feeling seeing it out there and knowing it's mine.. I have wanted one for about 4-5 years now... And I do LOVE the color. Total noob question but what is NBM??? I know the blue metallic part, what's the N?

Future Plans... Just intake and exhaust but I have to pay the car off first unfortunately ha

Now I have ONE more question that's probably rediculous to ask, and I'm assuming obvious but...
What should you do before running the car kinda hard. Start it up and let it warm up at idle? Drive around normal for a while? Just go?? Thanks for your help.
