Default Finally!!!

Well after 16 months of driving the ole' LT1, I finally found a great deal on a car and a great dealership to work w/ me and my credit issues . I finally picked up an LS1 and I absolutely love it!!! It is an automatic, but I had to do it so my girlfriend can drive it if she needs to. It is very quick and feels sooooo much faster then my LT1. I put a quick 80 miles on it right after buying it (and bringing it home for a fast wash). I must say I already miss the sound of my old car (loudmouth 2 exhaust). The car has been lowered (look like sportlines), so I love the stance and I love the improved handling. It has 18" Y2K rims which look very clean. Also has tinted windows which look perfect w/ the flashy red color.

First appearance mods will be:
1. removing side molding
2. sanding the rear center section
3. ram air hood
4. CETA mod

Here are the pictures, let me know what you think of the new ride!!

All-Star Auto in Puyallup is the Dealership. They are right off River Road, very easy to find. They actually got me out of my LT1 which i was paying 21% interest and into the new car at 10.5% interest. Still not a great rate, but half what I was paying before.

Looks great! And 10.5 ain't too bad these days. So maybe just 2-3% high but it won't equal too much extra $ in the end. Enjoy!!

I would take a 50% cut in interest any day of the week.

Nice job dude.
