    well, i sold the grand prix last weekend. got in a tough spot financially and needed to catch up on a few things. i was pretty sad to see it go, but couldn't turn it down seeing as how it had been over a year since i started the build. it wasn't a complete waste of time either. i learned a lot from the build and would do it again, just maybe without the cam. i have a few plans for later in the summer for the cobalt, but i think i'm gonna use most of the money, plus a little excess financial aid, to buy a nice double bay toolbox and a few things to go in it

    true story, nice to be sitting on a couple car payments.
    the cam install wasn't that bad, i just had a lot of bad luck with it. bad vacuum leaks, two busted radiators, wiring problems, headers didn't fit, bad icm... everything else went like it was supposed to lol. still rough to let it go, but a year's worth of headaches for a low-13 second car didn't make sense when i could do that with a bolt-on cobalt.
