yep, cody here. I was taking that route for a while, but not anymore. Could be me, but there is a few other over there. Just look for the c6 wheels and loud exhaust, unless I have her closed in which case the car is pretty quiet.

My car sat at home most of the week, I drove the daily escort to school. I had big plans of getting the WS6 out and going cruising on saturday. It's just about emprty on gas and when I saw the price of gas, I decided to leave her at home and just clean her up. I spent about 4 hours just cleaning the interior. Looks better than new, and its ready for the show come friday. Here are a few pics of the ride so you guys might be able to spot me sometime. Post some pics of your cars too!

Thumbs up

Cody,
S.O.B.!!! Thats one clean looking ws6!! WOW. Paint looks amazing. And it's the perfect color.... My driveway looks like a funeral home with all my black vehicles... Except the bird... Which may someday be converted.
Looks great. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled.

Cody, Austin, beautiful looking cars. I'm really excited to get all of us together on the 26th. I took Eric (LT1Formula26) on the route I wanted to take, and he liked it as well. I hope you all enjoy it you are willing to try it out.

I don't even think I have any pictures online of my T/A, and I've had it for about a year...what the heck...

I loved black when it was clean, and it may be worth it to you, but I drove a black car DD and it killed me. I am envious of a nice black car though, because nothing is ever going to look as nice.

Thanks for the compliments, but the paint looks pretty used up now. A couple of those pics were taken before last winter. I had no other car so I daily drove the WS6 all winter and it tore the paint up pretty good. It's still in allright shape, but it does have a lot of blemishes now.

Well.... I don't have any pictures of my car all together. So, here is a youtube link of some video I took about 2 weeks ago.

Yeah I had it for a little while last year at the end of the year and parked it at Delta Upsilon... my friends lived there and when we were drivin back to school in his car his SC decided to seize up so I got a free parking spot cuz I had to drive down ...If it wasn't there it was at Harrison or cruisin around town

--Cody
Remember last year when we were working parking and a LT1 pulled up and was talking to us and you knew him from the board... Who was that?

The top picture is a picture of our T/A at home with my friends SSEi, and the other one is a picture of my old Formula.



There we go, and two dirty pictures of the current whip.

yea...to make a long story short, i balanced all the tires, painted the calipers red, fixed the header leak, and installed a wheel hub...and then driving into mcdonalds I didn't see a curb and I hit it at like 5mph but it sounded rough, so I went to the shop today and jacked it up and checked everything out...seems fine, but after driving a bit, when I am stopped but still in drive, I get this wierd rattle behind the console on the carpet and I am not sure if it is from a heat shield being messed up or my Y pipe...Y pipe seemed fine when I tugged on it with the car up at the shop, but who knows...I dunno, I am doing a cooling fan switch mod this weekend possibly and checking into that rattle more. But it is running ok, so I dunno.

Nate, Holy ****! I gues I hadn't realized you had an LS3 in your firebird. I just thought you had a plain old 92 firebird. I also watched your 20-100 video and that is just beyond comprehension, ha ha. Your car is incredibly quicK. What kind of power are you putting down? I am still trying to get over that video.

Not sure how much power I'm putting down. I'd imagine my Fly Wheel power to be right around 525. I know a couple guys that have exact cam specs, etc. and they are getting about 570. and getting high 10's in the quarter. pretty sure I'm NOT there... However... The car pulls like a S.O.B at 4.5K and up! Car is a little sluggish under 3.5. I actually just ordered a set of M/T ET Streets, which will help drastically and hopefully I can try a good launch... Also I think with some fine tune work. (Probably greenlight motorsports in Kokomo) I think we can get a little more power out of the lower end.
If I can keep the car quiet, it suprises a few people.

I want a ride in that car ^^.

By the way, Eric. DO WORK! You got a lot accomplished this weekend. I am quiet jealous. Also, I am starting to post notes on cars in parking lots. Creeper, I know.
