I got a new toy!

Sign in to disble this ad


(Poor pic, I know.. this is the day I got it, the sun was at my back, and Ive been too busy driving for pictures.)



2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ. Loaded with heated leather, 18'' stock rims, XM and Onstar, and any little knick knack you could want. (Except GPS... I have one of those. )

Its my graduation present. I gave my parents a full ride scholarship... so, they gave me my dream car.

Im so pumped.


Off to get the windows tinted this weekend, along with 20''s in the coming weeks. Its my baby. "Big Black" is its given nickname.

Automatic or manual transmission?

Either way, this is clearly a great success.

EDIT: But a wise man once told me that you can't name a car 'til you've gotten lucky in the back seat.




Then he named it Ethel.

Nice move on the tint and 20's. Are those the biggest you can get on there with factory suspension?

22s fit, but where I live the roads are horrible, so I need a little bit of tire to keep myself safe. 20s are my best bet.

Nothing wrong with that in my mind!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Atoz, he can do it, just gotta keep his head about him.

I know, I didnt mean it in that way. I have never been in an accident of any kind, and treat cars like people. No worries.
