Default Newb with pics

Here are a few crappy iphone pics of my 03 Z06. Traded my 07 Trailblazer SS with an LS2 for it, and couldn't be happier.








and the SS




and my other truck I still have. if you can't tell, im a chevy guy.



Please note, I havnt even had time to clean up the z06 yet, it should look a bit better when I get chance.

Hello Z06 Friend,
Congrats on the new Z06.
Are you like me, do you find it
difficult to keep your foot off the gas?
It's like owning your own roller coaster.
It's like dating a super model.

thanks all. I know I need a new plate now, all the ones I want are taken. First mod was tinted windows, followed by the center caps which are at a body shop getting re-painted due to chipping. Next, new valve springs, trunion upgrade, spark plugs, vc gaskets, and valve stem seals. Ive read about the valve springs breaking, and just want to be careful. Ive been trying not to drive it until I get them changed, because I cant keep my foot out of it...lol

Well, they still wanted too much for it when i bought it, but they gave me alot for my trade, so I took it. Plus, they put new rotors and pads on it, after I bitched of course.
