Thread: 99 black GT This is what started it all!

I figured id start my ride thread since ive been looking at all the others.
this is the car that started it all for me. it was about a month before my 16th birthday and i still hadnt found a car that i liked/could afford. when i got a call from my dad saying he saw a nice car with a spoiler so my mom took me in that day and i fell in love with it and bought it right then. (he practically gave it to me) so i had some money left over, thats when i got hooked on puttin money into my car.

the only pics i have of what it looked like before. idk why its edited like that but it didnt have the decal and it had those ugly honeycomb lookin rims

then i started gettin ideas of what the car could be

mod list
-new headlights
-new headlight covers
-new rims
-new tires
-new rotors and brakes
-calipers painted
-boss speakers
-duel deck
-grand prix windsheild decal

idk why the pics are so small

i had a lot more planned for this car
-k&n intake
- throttle body spacer
-performance spark plugs
-lowering springs
-led taillights
-tint

...but then i did this to her

thats when the search for a new car began

Would have been a waste of money on that intake, spacer, and plugs anyway.

If the car is good other than damage, why new car? The cost of repair will certainly be comparable to a new/used car that you don't know what you are getting all over again. If the car is mechanically sound, clean w/no rust, etc, I would just fix it up.

By the way, what the hell did. You hit in reverse or did someone throw a light pole at ya? Lolz

Looking sharp.

i had to take that ugly mustache right away and give her a full detail. i ended up buff and waxing her then putting quantum and something on the windshield to make the rain slide off easier.
