im still on the fence on what i want to do with this car. it currently has an air raid intake and exhaust cut outs near the mufflers. i want to throw a set of headers and do a 2.4 upper pulley and tune but i am also contemplating on getting an extended warranty on the car, with the low miles, i can get one for relatively cheap. headers probably wont void the warranty, but im sure the tune and pulley will, so i dont know, just kinda sitting on the fence here
-
unfortunately not, i had absolutely no desire do manually wash my car after that trip lol
-
you missed out on a 2011 thunder grey wagon that was for sale in Columbus a month or so ago. it had only like 34k miles and the guy only wanted 35k for it. he had it sold before i could get my finances together.
-
haha funny thing is, first place i went to when i got back into town was a car wash. i got out and the rims looked horrendous from all the road salt, but the rest of the car still looked really good. and thank you for the compliment, i love being ahead of the curve
-
meh, i have had my fun with manual cars over the years and dont get me wrong, they are still fun but... for a daily driver, they start becoming a bit of an annoyance, especially in stop and go traffic. plus i heard the automatic cts-vs were faster than the manual lol
-
99% correct and the manual Vs are very hard to find lol my sister inlaw does have the exact same car, only hers is diamond black and 6 speed
-
haha exactly, my wife was getting really pissed off at me lol
-
its a 2011 this has been a pretty long process for me, this wasnt going to be a car where i just settled for the next best thing, this had to have everything i wanted lol so needless to say i have been hunting for just the right deal for quite a while

Well I am finally home from my trip. After working a 12 hour night shift, I got off at 430 am Friday, woke up my amazing wife and had her take me straight to the airport. I landed in Providence, Rhode Island at 1045am. After looking over and test driving the car, I knew it was for me, so I bought it and at 3pm I started my long drive home. Ran into some stand still traffic in New York and some slick/ snowy roads in Pennsylvania. At around midnight I figured it was time for a small power nap, 40 hours with no sleep is an interesting experience. It's not necessarily that you are tired but your body starts feeling weird. After waking up i finally finished the long drive home and couldn't be any happier. It was all worth it! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_121611_zpsu65dedbf.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_121618_zpsyhunfbzk.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122017_zps9hsmo8ir.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122045_zps29hjafpe.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122052_zps4pcpugnx.jpg

cant seem to find an exact pic for your year but is it similar to this? http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/HoelzelOffroad/Dodge/2008%20Dodge%201500%204x4/100_3061.jpg if so, thread the nut back on til its flush with the end of the bolt or you have a couple threads engaged, get a 10lb sledge and go to town on it. there have been times where i have spent 30 minutes or more just beating away at rusted/corroded bolts, your arms become jello but they all eventually break free. once it starts moving and becomes flush with the control arm, switch over to a smaller hammer and a punch to drive it the rest of the way out.
-
not sure if this is similar to your set up http://imgur.com/gallery/YmrpQCH you can try and save the bolt when you do the above approach by putting the nut back on just flush with the head. also...when in doubt, get a bigger hammer

well im flying out in the morning, i will request the bank to mail the title directly to me. hopefully no problems arise and 12 hours later i will be back home in my new car, pictures to come if everything works out just fine.
-
this is currently my plan, we go to his bank and he pays off the vehicle right there and then. just need to figure out a better way for the whole title issue.
-
i could be wrong, but even though the bank owns the car, the seller is still the only person on the title, hence doesnt the seller have to sign off on the title and not the bank, doesnt the bank simply provide a lien release form with the title?
-
his bank has a co op location near him, my current plan is to meet up at the bank, his bank can verify the check is legit and then he can pay off his loan right there and then. then have his bank notarize my bill of sale. then i will have to wait for his bank to mail him the title, he'll have to sign it and mail it to me along with the lien release paper. ill look into the title insurance bond, thank you
-
its not necessarily rare, but the price for the mileage is extremely attractive and is currently worth the headache, but my patience is starting to run thin though lol
-
ok cool, i just did a little more digging and it looks like there is a co op branch near him, so him and i can just go there and pay off the loan.

hey guys i was seeing if you could give me some advice or recommendations. i found a car that i like and it is privately owned and out of state. the car does have a lien on it, but his bank is in a different state than the vehicle. i plan to fly out to him in the next day or so, my bank will issue me a check in his name to pay for the car. he is going to have to pay off the car, they will mail him the title, he will have to sign the title and then mail it to me along with the lien release form. is there much of anything i can do to cover my ass aside from making up a bill of sale and having it notarized? for the most part i have covered my bases, i pulled a carfax report on the car, i whitepaged his name and his wifes name, both came back to the same address, i google street viewed his address and the house matches the background of the car pictures, also in some views you can see the car in the driveway. so basically everything seems legit, i just want to know if there is anything else i can do to cover my ass. can he get a duplicate title printed?

GM had a 20% off promo going on them for a while, you might still be able to find a dealer that will honor that discount.
-
this^^^ you can usually find used ones between 600-1200 dollar range, but on average is 800-900 dollars. they are much easier to bolt onto the chevy ss than they are to the camaro. less brackets and i dont believe you have to relocate anything.
-
i say go with with the SS too. throw an lsa supercharger on it for under 2k and make 500whp+
-
^^^^beat me to it alabama osu clem wash mich wis

committee chairman says, slim margin between Michigan and Washington for number 4 spot... GO COLORADO!
-
You can pick up an 06 cts-v for that price and you'll be all set. My buddy used to have one, it was a pretty nice car.
