New Here!!! Hey guys, Im kind of new here. I have been lurking for the last few months or so. I have just been too lazy, but then when I got on today it said I could use my facebook to login here, which was easy and awesome. So I went ahead and did that. I bought an 06 MC Laser Blue SS a few months ago and I love it! It does have 92000 miles on it, but I got the car for 10K, so I think I did good. I saw the price, and thought it was too good to be true, and it has been so far! The tires are pretty much brand new, which was nice, and my uncle is an ASE technician and he said the tranny has been remanufactured, which with these cars I hear they tend to go around 100K, so I shouldn't have to deal with that. For 100K, this car is CLEAN! Interior is spotless, not a single thing wrong, until I had to slam on my horn a few weeks ago and dented my SS steering wheel logo, which I see isnt replaceable unless you get a new airbag. The exterior has some dings and dents, but must of it will be buffed out. The front end is chipped up pretty good with the high mileage. No rust once so ever, not even in any of the little dings on the hood. Its quite unnoticeable in the pics.
Since I have got it, I have taken the bowtie off the front, put the ss there. Took the rear bowtie off. Painted my engine cover. Tinted the windows, 30% fronts, 20% on the rest. Took the front plate off, and somewhat filled the holes. And got a Cold Air Inductions intake, which I love. I want to do something to tune it, but I don't quite know what I want to do yet. I want a programmer just because I will keep modding, so I want to be able to change it myself. I have heard wonders of the hp tuners, and diablo. Want to eventually get an exhaust, but I think if that were to happen, I would want to do the whole thing, headers, cross over, downpip, high flow cat, and magnaflows with 3" or 2 1/2" pipes, so I will wait a while on that. Plus, I like the stock sound right now, don't want it to be to loud.
Sorry for the journal, hahaha....on to the pics.

my dealer knows me and how picky I am... so when I ordered my car and it came in, my sales guy told them right away to not even put the front bracket on it... nor their little dealership emblem... haha!
