Default Chicago LS1 Saying goodbye...

For now it is good bye. I have sold my 1998 Formula. I have wanted a F-foby since I was 17 years old. Took my *** a long time to get here and now the time has come to an end. At this point in my life I must concentrate on my last year of school. I have been attending Trinity Christian College. My goal here is to graduate with a major in General PE and a minor in Psychology. Minor is complete but have just my major left. I also have been working about 35 hours a week plus my full time school schedule so it is time to get a cheaper car and save some cash till I have a real job.

I have had alot of fun with this car, putting a few parts on it, waking the dead when I had my LT's, ORY and LM! Cruisin with buddies and what not. I have found a 1995 Honda Civic EX to purchase and will most likely have it sometime next week. So if you see a red civic with me in it, give a lil rev .

I guess this is not a goodbye but more of a see you later. Saving money and getting a good job will get me my Z06 once my goals are reached, so I will see you then. I will still be on here and what not but just without my baby, my Formy!
See you guys
Jon

Sorry to hear your car is leaving, but you've got your head on straight with your decision. I beg you to please unload that Honda the first second you're able to get that Z06
