Default Impala is gone

Sold the impala today. I wasn't really trying to hard but sold it for full asking price, which was ALOT more than I paid 2 years ago. We were starting to have trans issues, and I had convinced myself to fix it and keep it for a long time until we received the full price offer today.

My wife and I decided that since we do not have kids now is the perfect time to get into a sports car before our life is ruined forever when we have kids. lol.

Ive been looking at LS1 F-bodys and GTO's hopefully we can find something quickly.

Im not going anywhere. I sold my GXP once and bought another one because I missed it. That says something about a car!

Check the for sale section on the board. There's a BUNCH of good looking cars to be had, and good prices too.

My SS is for sale. If you're interested let me know. I've purchased my first house and would like to go back to school. Looking to cut some debt and save money.

I hear ya, man. We sold my last Camaro, which was a 1999 SS with H/C/LT so we could buy our house. That was in 2004. We had a kid in 2007, and I finally was able to get another Camaro this past October. The good news is, you don't have to "go without" forever! Even better, my 5 year-son loves riding in our Z28 and tells all of his friends that it's his car!

BTW- There are some great deals on 4th gen F-bodys. We paid $6500 for the Camaro in my sig. It was from the original owner and it was garage-kept it's whole life. he added all of the basic mods, and I just put a tune in it and punched out the cats. It put 359 HP to the wheels last month. There's no better performance value available than these cars right now.

LS2 GTO's are great cars and I really like the interiors of them. good luck with your search!! My 2 1/2 year old girl cries on most mornings because we don't take my camaro. To be honest its easier for her to get in and out of my camaro than the G8
