Default My LT1, bye bye.

I'm bending the rules yes, but I wanted to make yall aware of this fantastic event.

Im done with the car, here are the parts:

College is almost done, time to move on and grow up. Tired of looking 10yrs down the road and hoping I still have the car. It's a money pit, I enjoy having my BMW and no other car obligations.

Tony.

lot of nice parts forsale there. Sucks your moving on, what kind of BMW do you have? If your a gear head youll be back though, american v8's are hard to replace. Especially ltx and lsx engines lol. What are you looking to shift your attention too? 2 wheels? home theatre? you gotta have something!

On that Coolant crossover conversion, the pics of your rear intake manifold seal looks like you used about 4 times as much rtv as i did, i hope my **** doesnt leak! damn that will make me mad!

Good idea, hope you use the money as a down payment on a house, it's a good time to buy. Not a popular thing to say here but if that's your plan it sounds like you have your priorities in order.

325 is a nice ride, ive wanted a ci befor. I hear they are way more reliable then the 330's. All the 325's need is m6 wheels and tint.

Having a nice comfy DD is a good thing, theres no way i could daily an fbody again, i thought id never say that in my life.

and yea house would be a good purchase with the money. Only huge problem is the downpayment. It really pisses me off that everyone messed up that zero down thing lol. I remember watching something on TV, couple looked at 3 houses, they went with the one that was way out of their budget...aint that america.

Sad to hear but I know where you are coming from, I'm at my wits end on my car and tried to sell it once but was going to have to take a great loss, but in hindsight, I should of. House? Yes I have enough in my car since buying it new that I could of had a house or had a helluva down payment. Probably bought a $250,000 home and my payments would of only been like $450.00. Good luck Tony...

I just try not to think about it.
My kids love the Camaro therefore it stays around for theirs and my mild amusement.

Im not so worried about what's in it. We all know that once you get past the mild setup level it gets silly expensive.
