My car sold! I'm no longer a firebird owner but I'll keep lurking around from time to time.

I hope because I'm no longer a muscle car owner I won't be forbidden to gather at hOOters with you all.

Wife is doing better, back to work as of yesterday but still with a feeding tube. Our hope is that before Christmas the damn tube will be out so she can start eating a little again....

Now I'm thinking about getting a certain car that has an all new 380hp V-8 that has intake cams controlled by electric motors and a certain praised 8-speed auto trans.... we'll see.

 

Oh man, I know you needed to sell it but that sucks in a way. Its that flip where there are too many ***** in the air to juggle so you make the call.
Good to hear you wife is getting a little better (TPN sucks) though it can take a good year after to gain even a couple of pounds. Don't sweat that part, soon enough pizza will be devoured after picking it up in a new 380hp V-8

 

Hmmmm Lexus LS460?

 

Oh, I'm sorry to see it go..Is it staying local?

I'm glad your wife is getting better..send her my prayers!

 

Glad to hear your wife is getting better, sorry to see the WS6.

 

Thanks guys for all the kind words towards the wife! She appreciates indeed.

Trust me it was NOT an easy decision to sell my bird... And Steph yes, it's staying local - a guy from Tacoma bought it. So maybe Ellis will get some calls eventually if he has to change/install stuff. I told him Ellis is the best in WA hands down

And HitmanLSX is right on the money.... LS-460 it is.... I test drove it and it is **VERY** nice.

My love affair with WS6 cars isn't over though. I'm sure I'll own another one in the future. I just have to

 

Gonna be tough finding one that gorgeous though. Good to hear your wife is doing better. BTW, Toyota is the devil!!

 

Sorry to hear it is gone, Nick. I loved that car. But you can always buy another one if and when the time is right.

I am very glad that your wife is doing better though.

 

Glad to hear the wife is doing good. Sorry to see the car go!

You could put in the cash from the TA on a down payment for that Lexus, arent they like 80k? I would just skip over another WS6 and nab a C6 Z06 for that price! Or wait for the new super vette !

 

If the Devil can look like this, I WANT IT..!!

 

I definitely symphathize with anyone who has to sell their baby since I know exactly how it feels. I still miss mine from time to time and you will to. Life moves on though and nobody keeps cars forever. I'm sure you'll love your new car though ... can I borrow it ?!

 

Get a Cadillac...Toyota sucks *****...

All you need to do is pick it up on the side of the freeway one snowy day and it's all yours again.

 

How is your car doing? Did you upgrade your axles? I hope all is going well.

My car is down and out for the time being........(clutch). But I should be running 10's by the beginning of the season.

 

That was funny. So much for building an automatic pilot. I also say for the money the CTS-V is clearly the better performer.

 

Ill go a step above you all with the CTS-V...

STS-V!

Maybe even the XLR-V... or save up for the Platinum series.

Blower whine =

Why GM just doesn't put I/C on with their cars I don't understand why. I think part of it might just have to do with outshining the Z06, but that is kind of a lame excuse. GTP was intended to have a I/C with the blower and would put it around 305 hp rated, which would have put it above a stock LT1, which I think is why they didn't go with it.

 

HA... that video was funny. If I buy a LS-460 it won't have that feature, I am not that handicapped. But I have to tell you, the fit and finish of this car is absolutely top-notch and easy to use. The Germans must be having nightmares.

 

I think it took two weekends, but we were able to get stock half shafts donated and installed.

Ellis is the man.

I'm not going to upgrade until around February ... I hope ... but holding off any more work on the car. Primary focus is just getting it in the right A/F level, running stable without hesitation and all of that.

 

I admit that is one sweet pic. But seriously, Toyota has too much U.S. market share. They are hurting our economy and the future of the automakers we love, or at minimum, the cars we love. And that orange was incredible on that car. Im sure you have a pic of your car thats looks just as nice as that overgrown Corolla.
