Hmmm, might be another Camaro in the garage soon...

I need to work out the financing angle and if it pans out there might be another Camaro to play with. Boy, it's fun being broke!

4th gen car. Took it for a drive today and it runs strong and looks decent. It's not pefect and will need a pair of tires to pass inspection but if I can get the financing then I'm gonna grab it.

I actually thought about that. That Pace Car was my daily driver for 5 years but I wouldn't do that to a Pace Car again. I definitely miss that car. This one is newer than the Pace Car but it's still an LT1. We'll see how things go tomorrow. With my luck, someone else will buy it before I can get an answer on the financing.

This was a great car. I towed my boat with it even with the supercharger.

Well, we're almost there. Â*I don't think there's going to be a problem with the financing and I should hear back late today or early tomorrow. Â*Does anyone happen to have a decent pair of 275/40/17 tires they aren't using? Â*The car will definitely need 2 tires to pass inspection.

I should be picking the car up this afternoon. I hope the rain isn't too bad. If it's nice enough when I get home I'll take some pictures of it.

The car is safely in the garage. As you can probably see in the picture, some of the white paint is faded or the clearcoat is yellowing(driver's door). So it's not perfect, but it's an unmodified 96 SS with 85K and unfortunately an A4, but what do you expect for $6900! It's gonna be a fun car but I need to get those rear tires replaced to pass inspection and I wouldn't want to drive with them anyway. I'm thinking I'll paint the ZR1's white to match the body and I might go with the 17x11's for the rear.
