Default Marco????!!!!

Yes....it followed me home. The seller and I settled on a price, made it to the bank before closing time, and sealed the deal. I even gave her a quick bath while I still had some daylight. So without further ado......









Think they're getting along OK? I hope I don't walk out in the garage and see them fighting like....well, cats and dogs.



I'm sure I'll have a million questions from the LT1 crowd in the coming weeks and months. My first observations are that a lot changed in 11 years. The 95 is way more refined than the brutal 84. The 95 needs tires badly so I can't really assess how it handles yet, but the 84 seems to handle better. Acceleration is quite similar between the two....up to about 4000 RPM.....and then the 95 will seriously walk the 84 all the way to redline.

And yes....as soon as it goes to the tire shop, the rims will be put on the correct side. As I said, it needs tires badly...and probably an alignment as well. And I've gotta call Adam Boca and get it insured and off my State Farm policy. So now you guys know how I spent my bonus check this year....

I think we're gonna be friends.

Thanks. It's an honor.

I absolutely LOVE this color. Mrs. Friz' favorite color is dark green. It was an easy sell.

Wow Friz it fits in the garage like the garage was built around it! Glad you got it. I gather you won't be found on the Forum 'til about Wednesday or Thursday now. Well when you decide what your gonna do with the replaced one drop me a line! For now just go drive that beauty and enjoy it. Let the wheels turn, turn the tunes up to eleven and let out a ten gallon howl! Congrats!!!!!

I'm tied up most of the afternoon on Saturday, but I should be free by the evening. I'll give you a call. Dying to show her off a bit.
