My Truck: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3346253 : 2003 Silverado SS

My previous truck: 2002 Chevy S10 Xtreme "BUMBLEBEE" TOTALED, Memorial day of 09'

 

 

At first I wanted a Camaro until before my senior year came across a 94' navy blue v6 Firebird that caught my eye. So I got it and had it for a year. Done only a few basic mods to it then decided a year later after I graduated from school that I wanted a brand new car. The 94' bird had high mileage and a few minor things wrong with it. I first went looking at a Celica GT-S because I loved the sport appearance package it came with. I then came across this 01' pewter metallic Firebird w/ the Y87 performance pacakage. The guy at the dealership waas shocked because I new pretty much more about the car than he did. I got it for below invoice and signed the papers then took her home the same day. I hope to own a c6 Corvette or a 5th gen. Camaro someday.
