Default Sneak peek



Brought her home today (the car, not my wife. Well, I brought her home too, but...nevermind). Won't have much chance to drive her this weekend, since we're running all over town for Easter tomorrow and we won't be in the best parts of town while visiting family.

Vital stats:
2006 Coupe
Black (obviously)
4807 miles (not a misprint)
Glass top
Manual transmission
Z51 package
3LT option package ("That sombitch is LOADED!")

I freaking love it! I was looking for an Atomic Orange or LeMans Blue, but this was too good a deal to pass up. It's a totally different animal from the Camaro. Very smooth ride, handles great, and is a techie-geek's dream. All kinds of crap to play with.

More pics will no doubt follow, once I have a chance.

It may be a while before I do the !stupidgrin mod.

Chris
Yep. Sold it last week to another board member. He seems really happy with it, and I think we both walked away from that deal happy.

He's selling the wheels and tires, if anyone's interested (link).

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I still can't believe I actually pulled the trigger on this deal!

Yes. Why? Are you going to tell me you know the previous owner and it was found at the bottom of a lake? If so, please don't tell me that. It would make me very depressed.

(for the record, I ran my own Carfax on this car before purchasing it, and it came up clean. I'm joking about the lake thing)
