Thumbs up We are expecting a new addition!

Thats right, I've got some good news!

My silly signature will soon be getting wider

The new addition isn't what you were thinking, its a new vehicle. Tomorrow I'm driving to Austin to pick up this:



1999 Hugger Orange Camaro SS
38K miles
6-spd
T-top
traction control
SLP Bilstein, Syntec, Dual-Dual options
gray leather, all power accessories
all stock except for an airbox lid

I remember when these orange cars first came out back in 99 and I was drooling over them. But, at the time my '98 Formula was less than a year old so I couldn't lose my butt on a trade-in to get one. I'm glad 4th gen prices have dropped quite a bit lately, it makes buying cars like these easy.

I'm thinking this one needs a single turbo

Pics coming soon...

Tony

you've already got a blower car, why not a turbo car?

Well, I do have a turbo truck right now

This orange one needs a 12-bolt, different wheels/tires, suspension, and a turbo. That would be alot of fun. Its going to remain a daily-drivable street car though, I'll probably drive this one every day and park the truck more often.

That's a sweet car Tony, thank god it doesn't have the white interior. I'd keep driving the truck and keep the miles off of the Hugger. You're getting a killer deal on it!!!!
