I'm in West Seattle and bought the car from someone on Camano Island.

Yeah it's really nice. I was skeptical at first and wanted black or blue,

It's stock except a flowmaster muffler. No plans right away (maybe lid since it's cheap) because I have to get rid of all my B-Body parts and my B-Body. Eventually though basic bolt-ons, LTs, exhaust, cutout, stall and gears.

There's this white Camaro I've seen near me with a big cowl hood and sounds bad ***. I wonder if he posts here?

Sounds like it could potentially be really loud. The only time I've seen it was 6-7am and it sounded like he kept the RPM's really low as to not wake the whole neighborhood. I really can't remember the rims, but I'm pretty sure the cowl has a big fat black stripe on it.

O no.. lol. She drives over to seattle everyonce in awhile, but she lives in Poulsbo. And it doesn't have a black stripe down the hood. She drives the hell out of it too... She wouldn't care if she was going through a neighborhood full of old people.. She only knows that the gas pedal makes it go forward, and sometimes the brake makes you stop. lmao.

You might want to think about getting some suspension mods put on that thing too. It will really help it take the corners. I know you think it corners well now but put some Eibach springs and some Bilstiens or Konis on it and it will handle ten times better. (Maybe some sub-frame connectors and a strut tower brace as well.)

I work in Sodo an have the Trans Am there every once in a while when it is too cold or wet to ride the Harley to work. We do quite a bit of work on homes in West Seattle.

I bookmarked your webpage for future reference.

Yeah it corners really well compared to my Caprices I had, but there's always improvement from stock.

A lot of the time I go through SODO on my way home from work. From the stadium down 1st to the West Seattle bridge so you might see me if you work in that area.
