Post

Whats up guys im Eddie, i've been on nico for a while and what not. i do alot of researching but really dont post. I should have done this when i first joined but hey im doin it now.

Started when i went to LA to stay with my mom for 3 months. Flew their and had to drive back with a car. This case it was the 240. Shopped around and finally found one in rough shape. $1250 to be exact. I was working with my mom busting my a** to get money for the car. and got it. This is wat it looked like when i first got it with about 190,XXX miles.

hope you enjoy..

Finally brought it home with some better wheels and next step was paint/body



After about $700 with body/primer and jdm signals and replaced all the cracked broken ones this is what was the outcome



Next step is to lower it, and put in the power steering that i said i'd put in about 2 months ago :D.

Now thats that and this is my new baby that i WON! (i kno right)

2010 Camaro

i call her Laqwisha



sorry for the crappy pics. if you click on them they'll get bigger and look better(thats for all the pics i posted)

thanks for looking and plz keep all negative comments to yourself.

for the camaro, i was thinking about selling it and investing it in something, and then later down the road buying another one. after driving my 240 with bad bushings/bad struts i really think twice about selling it. its just a v6, but still has nuts having 305 hp. if i do keep it maybe turbo. dont kno yet

as for the 240 if i keep the camaro it will be a project car and go KA-T

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Yea the car has deff. seen its worst/good days. Might seem like i haven't done much to it, but for not having a job and saving money(at the time) has came a long way. Gotta job now so coils are a must on it

I'd keep that camaro as a daily driver. Those look nice. And even it being a v6 it's still faster than most of the 240's on here haha

first day i got it females were staring lol. everywhere i went people checked out the car. Im thinking of keeping the Camaro as a DD and garaging the 240 and start building/fixing what ever needs to be fixed.

my family own businesses (apartments/dry cleaners) their telling me to sell it and invest it into a condo or something and in the long run have money. but ilook at it like this. I got the car with 5 miles on it, first owner, and as long as i take care of it it could last me 20+ years. So im stuck. i love the car but i love money as well

its good advice to invest the money but why a friggen condo? dont see how that would make you money. would give you a place to live but unless you get a badass deal i dont see you making money off it unless you rented it out. if you sell the camaro now, you would lose money. just keep the car for awhile then sell it. and for the love of god dont do a dry shot of nitrous. wet is the only way to go. personally id keep the camaro stock. unmolested cars sell better.
