Time to break in the backseat!

Congrats on the decision to go to college. Definitely a decision you won't regret with that major. I would recommend working on your time management as much as possible so your social life doesn't take a huge hit with that area of study.

Grades are important, but I guarantee the nights you'll look back on and remember will be the nights you barely remember getting fucked up with your friends and girls and not the biology/chemistry tests.

Tom Petty - "You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."

It was a fun old car for sure. I'm still surprised my buddies and I never got into any trouble back in those days. We would always say, "Last one to Cade's house has to buy lunch", after school. Thankfully with a SS/SC, bolt-on WRX, bolt-on LS1 SS SLP, and bolt-on LT1 ws6, I never fared too bad
Haha damn you actually it was in 1999 so yea close. Yeah Im old, usually Im the oldest person in my college classes or close to it.

I had one of the nicer cars in school; but unlike most of the kids I went to school with I bought it my self from working every day. There were some 2V stangs, and 1 LS1 car at my high school.

Haha just messing with you. If it makes you feel better, I have a 52 yr old black lady in most of my finance/accounting classes who literally always makes civil rights movement comments and thinks everybody is racist and out to get her and owes her something. It is rather sickening. She tries to sue everybody

Yeah, I still regret not picking up the black 99 WS6 I could have when I picked up my 97. Was young, dumb, and even a bigger jew back then with my money as I was trying to invest it and make it more. Would probably still own that car today if I had bought it

LOL its all good

I wanted an LS car too but keep in mind when I was in HS they were a LOT more expensive. I think I paid 17K for my 97 Z28 IIRC (It was 1998 when I bought it)

IIRC my old 97 WS6 w/ 98k was worth $8500 when I got it but I talked previous owner down to $6000 due to some body blemishes and smoker smell (I mostly got it out easily). That 99 WS6 w/ 65k I was talking about was from a guy who just went through a divorce and I had him talked down to $8k cash when it was worth like $12k but I was a cheap *** and never followed through with that deal.

Ohh well, you live and learn! I'll get back into something when the time is right

I wish I'd been more responsible younger. You will not regret it even though it sucks now.

Where do you go to college?

I will show up to class in a KKK outfit and sit right next to her and stare at her the whole class.

LOL, that was on ET Bias Ply's which apparently will drop the trap a little bit. My buddy trapped 135mph with the same exact mods (tune/Dr's) but on regular ET streets. Let's see your boat do that.

Using the car for what it is intended for. I can dig it.

Be careful, with these cars the difference between stock and "stock-ish" can mean 50-100rwhp! Lol

**** man, if you walked in her shoes for a week you might better understand why she is that way. Could have been through a lot of BS in her day.

Thanks! As I mentioned above, on ET street radials (not Bias-ply) I'd probably pick up 2 mph or so. Still wouldn't be enough to handle your current setup tho.

I'm sure she has had her experiences, but literally everything in her eyes is racism. According to her, her schooling is free, so I don't see a point in complaining about it all that much. Including the black professor who doesn't call on her first before other students when other students raised their hands first.

I always figure if I show you respect and give you the benefit of the doubt, you should do the same to me.

Have you ever owned a z06??

I ask because I wanna know diff/feel of a z06 to a zr1. My next car is a c6 vette just not sure if I want a z or a zr1... I'd throw money at both, just wondering what are pros and cons of both.

If you're planning to mod it quite a bit, why not go with a GS and built it?
