Default I hate tools..

Me and one of the military guys that's here with me were talking. He is wanting to buy a LT1 Camaro to play with. We went on Auto Trader looking around, then he went on to Fleabay and found this gem..

It's a clean car, I already sent the guy a message educating him about it..

Man, I want a 5 speed auto with overdrive! I'm thinking the brakes were the same as other LT1 cars too Most of the time though, people like this actually just get pissed off at you.
