Default Thinking about getting rid of this TA

Its paid off, I have the title and a place to store it, so thats not an issue. I really like the car a lot but I never drive it any more. At some point or another I lost a lot of motivation, I use to be really in to these things and the hobby but it seems that same enthusiaism has turned me in to more of a joke with most the people then any thing. so its kinda like whats the point any more

Neil,

I feel bad that you think people joke about your enthusiasm, particularly towards the LT1. I know we all enjoyed having you around at Thunder when Rick made his record setting fastest LT1 in the world pass.

Cheer up, the LT1 world would not be the same without Bizzzatch.

BTW. Ricks car is going to be running again soon, so we'll want you to be around for it's debute. It's going to be bigger and badder than ever!

Later,
Chuck

Neil, I'll buy the car


you're one of the most enthusiastic people in the fbody game I know, thats a good thing I think. You just need some mod $$$ to fund your enthusiasm. I think you would be fine then

Don't sell it Neil... you won't get anywhere close what you'll want to get out of it and you'll be pissed you sold it later. You have a daily driver, a garage to store it, and you're not paying on it... it's not worth selling.

Get a job and start dumping some money into it. There is no reason why would shouldn't be modding it... you'll get back into it once you do something to it.

That is seriously the best quote I have ever heard. As for neils, dont sell the car. I have to buy something for the car every month or else I loose intrest, and you havent bought anyhting for that car in a while so thats what im thinking. Do one medium sized mod and youll be smiling from ear to ear.

No way I could come close to affording an LS1 car, I might bet 3K max if I sold it, it not having a/c kills the value. The Blazer isnt paid for and wont be for a long while. So if I got rid of it, I wont have any thing like this for a good but of time, atleast another 4 or so years. This was my first F-body, I bought with money my mom left me.


Chuck,
That 8.35 was good shake down pass, that car is going 7.8s.
