build the nova, buy a truck.

edit: look at the cobra first though. just be careful- i know if you're like me, once you drive something and like it pretty much nothing can prevent you from buying it.

 

My problem is this I really miss my car now, but I'm not looking for F-bodies, BUT if I run across a good deal I may want to get one.

For instance. I found a 99 which I'd rather not have because it doesn't have the stock LS6 intake and it has an EGR system, but it has 35K, clean as a pin, and he only wants 13,700 for it.

 

well fuck it. you still made a few bucks, right? the way i see it, if you can sell your car and get another one just like it while still putting money in your pocket, that's a sweet ass deal.

as far as it being a 99, an ls1 is still an ls1...

 

I'm really starting to dig the way TA's look. Is that one lowered?

Hope that helps you out Joe.

 

Yes.

 

Looks hot.

Looks mean.

Was it the 25th or the 30th Anniversary.. Ermm.. I guess it was a 30th Anniversary TA that a guy I knew had. Very nice car...... it was LOUD! I think he might have wrecked it though.

 

25th is white with blue stripes and blue wheels and the 30th is yellow with black wheels.

 

You sure?

There's a white one with blue stripes and blue wheels here in Roanoke and his license plate says "THE 30TH"

But the one I'm talking about was white. IIRC, he either didn't have stock wheels on it or it they were just plain or polished. I remember it was some sort of anniversary edition, 6 speed MT (I guess that doesn't make a difference though.. that was an option on TA's in general right?)

 

Maybe I have them confused. I dunno. I know the yellow anniv. edition is newer than the white one. But yeah you could get an M6 on any 4th gen F-body.
