Garage kept but has a few imperfections here and there. Clean title in hand, clear Carfax. I have all the original parts except the wheels and tires.

Sick car man!

Beautiful car. I beat it handles great. What are you replacing it with?

Beautiful car. I beat it handles great. What are you replacing it with?

Thanks! It really does handle well, every time I drive it I find myself questioning my decision to sell..

I'm not replacing it with anything, just planning on kicking my corporate job to the curb and moving to sunnier pastures soon. Unfortunately about the only perk of soul-sucking jobs like mine is being overpaid enough to have toys like this, haha. Too bad about my timing though, this would have been a great potential replacement for your '07!

 

[deuce189]

Yeah but the smart ones do the high paying soul sucking jobs just long enough to get enough money to move on to sunnier pastures

 

[Ch4r1ie]

Very nice indeed! GLWS & good luck with your move mate

 

[fhlh]

GLWS, and Good Luck with your future endeavors

This is what my car wishes it could be.

 

[stang389]

love your car man i would try to keep this thing so much time and money into it already

One of, if not my favorite car on the board. I wish I had the cash. As I have posted in about every other for sale forum, you wouldn't be interested in an '06 Trailblazer SS would you?

 

[DusterRT]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's been a joy to build and drive it, and believe me I'd keep it if I could! Of the 16 cars I've had to play with over the years, this is my favorite.

I do have to update the freshness of the car...took it for a DE on Friday, so the tires and brakes aren't quite fresh anymore. Performed flawlessly, was eating up M3's all afternoon! I only wish I had gotten a hold of my friend in time to get his GoPro.

you wouldn't be interested in an '06 Trailblazer SS would you?

Unfortunately at this point trading one toy for another would be a bad move on my behalf. The only thing that could pique my interest enough to do something so dumb right now would be a driver quality 993, hahaha.

While I am momentarily angered by your response, it totally makes sense haha. What do you currently do and why the switch/to what? If you dont mind me asking.

Overpaid (for what I do) corporate zombie for a brand name you'd surely recognize but I like to play it safe and keep it to myself, haha. Probably bad enough that I am using their bandwidth to post this.

But basically...Seattle is killing me. Gave it 4+ years, still can't adjust to the climate, and my job's sorta ho-hum, so I'm going to uproot while I still lack mouths to feed or anything else to tie me down. No luck looking for work remotely so I'm just going to get down to basics and move. I could be an engineer or a bus boy in a year...only time will tell!

Move to Chicago so I can buy your car in the spring.

I totally understand. Hope everything works out for you man. Seattle, huh? drink a lot of coffee at work? hehe

This, and let me see it before you do so.

Car is gone. Traded last night for something with a little more ass..and not in the 2010+ Mustang way. Dumb decisions are always so fun...
