DAMN, that was a good deal...I know he never ran the car hard. I would of thought somewhere around $8,000 or a little more for a non molested
96 WS6 with that low miles.

Sup guys?!?! It's been a long time since I've been on here. I only have 1 1/2 more weeks of basic training to go. We were awarded with BEAST excellence and our TI decided to give us a break and he gave us base liberty for two hours. So what's been happening? Anything cool or interesting lately?

Well anyways, I just decided to check up on the forums and see what was up. I'll catch you guys in a few weeks.
