90 here as well. And yes wooddaniel, you're older than dirt
I prefer to call it experienced and the 80's were way better than the 90's. Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, the good metallica albums, etc. /argument.

Some of ya'll remember I was talking about getting a C6 LS3 Vette... looks like Im stuck with my Z for a while now. The dealershit didnt want to work with me. On the other hand, I am possibly getting a 1993 formula today, 141K miles and fresh paint, car is really clean. Im going to trade him my 93 Probe GT for it LMAO. It's got a busted Trans, but I can get a 4l60e cheap from my Dad's shop

Really? I thought it was 4l60 when they went to the new body style? Anyways, I cant knock the Probe. I got it for 500$ and it has run like a top for the last 6 years minus the clutch going out recently.

Good find on the Formy. That is cheap. Did you want to trade in the Z for it or what? I love LS3 C6's. Just trying to decide if 6l80e if way to go with future power goals. Might have to rock 05 with built 4l65e for that cause.

700r4 on all 93's bud. Thankfully, should be able to get a replacement for even cheaper that way

Yeah I was gonna trade the Z06. They wanted to give me 12K trade in, the C6 was an M6, 56K miles 2008 asking 36K for it. Would have made my payments too much. I asked them for 16K trade in and told them I would do it. Yeah, I had no idea they were 700R4, I think I still have one from my old GTA but who knows if it will still work

Damn, that is rather high for a 2008. I guess I've mostly been looking at 1LT and 2LT models for sale by private party though. Can find a few every once in awhile for under $30k with 60k miles on it

It was a Vert. Always wanted a vert. Anyways, I used to sell cars and called them on their bullshit, and they said have a nice day so I walked out. They might still call me though, I am pre approved and everything, and was ready to make a deal.

Ha yeah you know they'd turn around and try to sell your $12k trade for $20k. A vert? I've never desired a convertible but I imagine they'd be fun.

I've always wanted a targa. Main reason I wouldn't want a C5Z or C6Z

I told the guy there is a C6Z for sale across the Street for 40K and I would just go buy it. Because seriously, I would kill someones mother in front of them for a C6Z06... KIDDING. But you see what Im saying.

Yeah, they do and I know how much room they have on their used stuff which is why I offered what i did. Its fine, they will probably call me back. That particular car has been there for 90 days. Anything that sits over 30 is costing them a ton and they will want to get rid of it. We'll see what happens.
