I picture yourself fighting your arm not to sign and then trip, and fall on the papers... the fall made the pen make the signature on the papers, and then you have it.
Once home, "Honey, I got into an accident and tripped and endeed up with another Camaro... it was an accident, honey !!!! Really !!!" rotf.gif
Congrats !!! beerchug.gif

It is a stock 98 LS1 with 29k miles. I was just flipping around some online classifieds looks for cheap parts (21mm 1le bar) when I stumbled upon an LS1 for sale with low miles at a very reasonable price. I emailed the owner and ended up looking at it, then driving it, then making an offer. It definately has a bit more top end pull than my LT1, but the LT1 with all its mods has a big punch of low end torque where it counts. Can't wait to slap some big tires on it and autocross it.

I'll have pics in maybe a week. Have to take care of some other stuff first. Accidentally may not be the best word to describe it. I just ended up buying it without the intent to do so.

If you were poking around looking for a sway bar, and bought an LS1 with all the options (meaning, a complete car included), that's "accidentally" in my book.

And the worst part is, you still didn't get your sway bar......(if it had at least come with the car, you could have called it a success).

Congrats!

That's kind of how I bought my car. Was driving up from Indy on a Labor Day weekend and decided to stop by the Auburn auction. I was snooping around the car corral and the rest was history. You can never have too many F bodys.

That's a $14,000 sway bar.....(give or take).

Julie may eventually account for an entire years production at this rate. She'll own a fleet. wink.gif

Next time my horns go south, I'm getting a airhorn... that's for sure.
Had a dual trompet on my bike, and scared the hell out of people when they were cutting me off... at least keeps the stupid drivers out of my way... nutkick.gif
