Default so excited

Went to ann arbor michigan today to look at a 99 ss m6, that i have been thinking about buying. checked it all over. was looking at it, asked the guy if we could go for a ride, took it through a car wash brought it back to his house and looked over it some more. we talked a lil bit and he asked me if i wanted to drive it. of course i said yes.........................












i pick it up next week. HAHAH i was undecided until i drove it. my god. how sweet. iam excited.


that is all.

yessir it was, in fact, before we went through it the guy had been telling me he had never taken it through a car wash, and that he only washed it by hand in his driveway, i was skeptical till we got to the car wash and he couldnt figure out how to use it HAHAHA. i guess thats a good thing

Sweet! Very clean car. While I can't tell from personal experience, from what I have read on this site, I'd say its good to go with bolt ons/suspension/drivetrain stuff before getting into H/C stuff. That way, you won't have to worry about breaking anything with the power you get from a good heads cam setup. Beef everything up and set it up right, before you add all that power, ya know?

9k for an SS laoded with under 50k miles. If you ever find a deal like that, please let me know..... Ill take a stab and say $12,7 but 200 of that is already paid off in deposit so you have $12,5 left? Yea and jeff, you will see me and Casey around this summer cruisin. Unless we get in like a huge fight and hate each other, haha (wont happen) but whenever he will be i will too and vise versa, unless he doesnt want me around, lol. Im so stoked to finally have a cruisin partner! Holler. I hear your planning on H/C/90/90 install here soon Jeff? Should be saweet
