Hey Tyler, there's a dude that lives in my neighborhood that has one - dude moved in not too long ago; wonder if it's him... Have you been driving your Z28 around?

Yes, I believe he does on occasion. I haven't spent too much time on the internet boards until the past few weeks and was browsing through some threads and found this one. I believe I am the gentleman(my wife would choose a different word) that you are referring to. I have a 2002 35th LE Vert and live on Higley and Williamsfield and am bald, 5'10 250lbs. It has chrome Torque Thrust M's instead of the anniversary wheels on it currently(and for the past year or so).

I see your car regularly and we spoke a while back while I was sitting in my DD Corolla. I said it before and I'll say it again, your vert is CLEAN! Very nice car man and it sounds like you have headers, catted Y-pipe through your dual dual? Hope to catch you around when I'm cruising my SS

Thanks, I try to keep it clean and running good but lately it has been an battle. In the past 6 months I have gone through a water pump, clutch w/both slave and master, rebuilt tranny, and this week I dropped it off at the body shop on monday to fix the front passenger quarter panel that discount tire cracked when they jacked it up from the wrong spot and then picked it up last night and drove it straight to AZ Automasters to have them find an oil leak. I talked to them tonight and it is leaking out the rear main seal as well as a plug at the crank. They can also see coolant corrosion by the intake manifold that I will probably be getting fixed sometime in the near future when it starts leaking. It only has 83K miles on it but is starting age real quickly. The only mods I have done so far is I mated the CME with the GMMG exhaust, SLP Y-pipe, and gutted cats. I had a electric cutout as well but decided to seal that off when the cats were gutted a year ago; it was just too obnoxious. Hope to see you around.

LE's are badass, always wanted one. Rarely see one around the Sacramento area, even in the summer, guess they're all garage queens...

got any pics? Sounds like a clean vert!
