Hello everyone.
My name is Michael, I found this site off of some people mentioning it on MIFBODY.com and LS1tech.com.
Here is the breif story on my 93 Z28. I bought it when I was 17, mom cosigned a loan for me it had 89,xxx miles on it, bought it for $4,500 (this was in fall of 06)
This is what the car looked like when I had it....

Drove the car for around a year and got bored with it and sold it to my buddy for $4,000 and around 112,xxx on it.
.... I drove my winter car (ford probe) around until I could find one of these LS1 camaro's everyone was talking about lol
Don't hate, this car was by far the best car in the winter EVER! avg 30 mpg alllll day.... check out that rockin exhaust :jest:

Well I ended up finding this gem in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Buddy and I went out and checked the car out, (yes from MI, ~1100 miles) I asked the guy every question over the phone and through an email that I possibly could, we drove down checked it out and I decided to buy it.
1999 Z28 Camaro M6 68,xxx miles on it (at the time) $9,000 bought it in FEB of 08.

.. ok now that I have regained myself from looking at them again....
So I bought a bike summer of 08...
This is what it looked like when I bought it.... Don't let the camera fool you... This bike was PURPLE and YELLOW, the UGLYIEST color combo ever!

Around 1.5 k later I repainted it, fixed all the cracks, new tires, chain and sprockets etc....

Well, back to the purple camaro story, my buddy was talking about selling it... well I offered him 2k. He said he would do it. Well I didn't at the time have 2k to put up for it so I offered him 2k in payments of 150 a month. He said he couldn't do it... which was b.s cause I let him make payments for around 6 mths until he paid it off.
So I offered my bike in a straight up trade.... now this bike may of looked perfect but I was having running issues with it and it gives me a reason to get a fuel injected bike.
So I traded it to him now I am dissassemblying the engine out of the Camaro and doing a Cam only set up.
here is the thread to that.... http://www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=32088
If you are intersted to a full thread on the bike project, you can find that here.... http://cbrforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80677&highlight=repainting+bike
As for the probe, it died and I'm now rocking a 97 lincoln continental as my winterbeater....
Well........
Just thought I would join and say hey
BTW I LIKE YOUR SMILIES :rockon: lol
