Exclamation New Ride...

Hey guys. I meet alot you at the Ontario Mills meet earlier this year and mentioned that I was looking for a new ride. Well I finally found it. Here she is:











I finally got my plates and registration so I can drive it. It was hard not driving it while I was waiting. I can't lie I still drove it a lil.
I'm having alot of fun learning the stick shift. Tommorrow I'm getting it detailed so i'll get some engine pics then.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the super chevy show this weekend. My work is changing locations and I have to be there to move the network. Sometimes it sucks being the IT Admin.
Let me know what you think guys!

Yea Yea. I'm getting it detailed as I write this.
It has 40 thousand miles on it, one owner car. Ebony Interior. I'll get pics tonight. I paid 16K for it.
Both of those stripes look nice. But I think I'll hold off on that. Of course I'm gonna mod it! I already ordered some appearance mods. Right now I can't find an air lid that I like. If the clear msd lid gp was still going on....
The only things the previous owner did to it is eliminate the skip shift and put in a Raptor shift light. Also a 10" sub in the cubby with an amp that I haven't figured out yet.
I really like your exhaust toofazt. I want mine to look like that. Rims are first though.

Right after I got it back from detailing which ended up being 150...I got rear ended by some girl in a Honda Accord. I was sitting at a stop light and she just ran right into me. So now my car needs a new bumper and the left quarter panel needs to be pounded out or replaced. Great friggin day.
