Sorry to hear that dude!

If you lose the car, try to get some $$ for some of your mods at least, that's what I did with my last f-body.

PM me if you decide to part with anything, I am located somewhat locally..

Good luck with the situation.

I don't know if Zach will buy his car and part it out but I know there are some parts there that he could actually make some money...

If you part it out Zach, I'll help you to take it apart.

It does suck man..get something bigger and badder.
Well hopefully there is a way that you might be able to get some money from it by parting some of it out..I have an interest in some of the LS1 parts for my new setup..thinkin about goin to M6 with my new Engine.
If anyone sees a LS1 M6 Conversion around let me know..

Didn't say from his car..that is whay I said "if anyone sees one around let me know.."
Hell I wasn't even the only one talking about parting it out..

More than likely though it goes to the Insurance Company, hopefully he gets what he owes on it, possibly more than that, sometimes it happens like that.
It sucks that it happened, so hopefully he can get something better out of it in return..

And I don't "Scam" Parts off of anyone, all my **** is legit, and I build it..

For someone I don't even know and never met you sound like a real douche..expecially after the whole "you flipped me off on the highway" deal..which I thought was funny..

So lets not let this grow in to some ugly thread and I'll catch up with ya on the street sometime..

PM me if you want anything else...
