well, he is a college student, along w/ myself and all of our friends. He has worked a speed shop "Speed Demon Motorsports", it is on the sponsor list. Then worked at a couple other places and now at college he is a pharmacy assistant at CVS and makes good cash while going to school.... the pic at the house is his neighbors house across the street. I think he also has some cash from investing.



and the blurry pic was the debuting pic of his car, to show he had rims, but not what kind

Corvettes dont have springs Its a wishbone suspension that goes tire to tire across the car. Its lowered with aftermarket bolts. Thanks for the compliments!

And to the dude that asked about how I can afford my car, you have a question, you can PM me. I work while I am in school and have been working since i was 16.

thanks for all the compliments guys!

All cars have springs (unless they have air bags). Wishbone is the type of control arm that the uprights mount to, which mount the spindles. Corvettes have a transverse mounted leaf spring in the rear along with those "wish bones" as well as the traditional double A-Arm, coil-overs up front. Nice ride though, and glad you've worked your tail off for it.
