Now that you've cried with me, let's move on to the happier news.

 

Here's the GTA I picked up on Tuesday, 3/24...I'm really looking forward to this one.  The color is perfect and she doesn't need a whole heck of a lot of work...I haven't given her a name yet, though!  The "Bragging Rights" over there are the stock times...that doesn't include with the K&N Filter and Flowmasters that have been added to the car!


First full day home, and she looks okay...I cranked the headlight down a little later.

This angle makes her look a little better...

But DAMN that's one FINE ASS!

Since I just got her, I don't have a lot of work done yet, but at least we changed the oil, and added some needed fluids.  The oil dipstick was DRY and the little oil she had was dark brown.  She looks pretty good, but she'll still need some paint work.  Gotta love Home-Grown paintjobs...drips are right up my alley! *rolls eyes*

I saw the "egghole rims" comment in 95blckfirebird's page and knew eggsactly what you were talking about. I had 'em on one of my Firebirds and it was like having a rash in a bad place...
