Default Not having an F-Body sucks...

Sold my LT1 to another LT1 mod (Jasonshort) this weekend...

Man, it sucks not having an F-Body. I thought I'd be satisfied with my WRX, but I'm really depressed about not having one. I need an LS1...

Camaro is just in the blood...

I thought I remembered you last year wanting to buy another LT1 Z28 (but w/ the M6) that was bone stock so that you could start from scratch and do it your way because your '94 was already heavily modified when you got it? There are some killer low prices out there on fairly nice LT1's FYI...

And yes, I sure as heck bet it sucks without having a 4th gen F-body! When I only had my '02 Z28 (not my daily-driver), I had a hard enough time driving my Grand Prix in place of it. Now I have a nice '95 Z28 to daily drive while the other one comes out to play in the special weather...

LOL, I've actually been toying with the idea of buying a 3rd one just to keep pace with NineBall. Wouldn't mind having a '30 Anniversary '97 M6 SS sometime soon...

Just go out and get a new one ASAP and all will be good again...

Mike

f-bodies are like cute little puppies. You fall in love with them, take them home, and teach them how to bite and kill horses.

Time for you to visit the pound again

I'm definitely looking in to getting an LS1 car, but I'm still considering LT1s... I'll see what happens.

I'm selling my LT1 for a LS1, so if somehow you want another LT1, yell at me and I'll hook you up.

Not having an fbody does suck, but right now I don't have a car of any kind, and that sucks worse.

I remember when I traded my 98 Formula for a 97 GTP I thought I'd be happy, but that only lasted two minutes. I regretted doing that from the moment I drove off the lot! It was painful having to take (what I considered) a step back in order to get into another f-body, by going with a 95 Formula instead of getting back into an LS1. But in the end it all worked out, and now I've got the LS1 powered vehicle I wanted all along!

You'll trade that WRX for a C5 soon enough, I know it!

Ahhh...It's not all that bad. Not having an f-body and having a WRX sucks though. You just need a big HP car to ease your pain.

You guys will have to excuse Unit, he's taken one to many tube steaks up the rear terminal lately. Seems to have REALLY thrown off his brain patterns.
