Default I need your help!

I will be purchasing a Z within the next month or two. Not sure if I should get a track (brembos) or a touring (leather and the rest). I am also not sure if my leg will be healed up in time for a 6-speed (wreck).

On top of that, I'm not sure what color to get. I know that I don't want either silver (that s all I see around here) or red (last 2 cars were red).

I'm just trying to get some ideas so any ideas or comments would be great.

wait until your leg fully heals to get a Daytona Blue Touring. With the money you save, you can add the Brembos for less than you would pay by getting the Track.

thanks guys Ive been considering the daytona blue. Ive been checking local dealers and there is a black one with side air bags and nav which is what I want more than the color. I keep searching and hopefully find one.

get the navigation system,

It is 2k, but it works perfectly and is super cool, especially driving around at night, everyone in passing cars trys to see in, hahah..especially SUV's behind you.

You can always put an aftermarket system in, but it wont work as well, you risk damage to your car by the installer, and it will cost about the same.

Sounds like you have some money from a settlement, or some that should be on its way, I would go with a fully loaded touring or track.

The aero package is nice as well,
Eric

Yes that was a Grand Am. As for what happened all I remember is driving back home from Athens, Ga and seeing a car coming at me and then waking up in the hospital.

From what I've been told is that a guy was pulled over for speeding and the cop was going for his keys to take him to jail for other warrents, the guy grabbed the cop's arm and took off dragging him. Another cop going the other way saw this and started chasing him.

The cop said he was doing 130mph trying to catch up but the guy in a Firebird was still pulling away. He went a couple of miles down the road into a left hand turn, went across his lane and a turning lane and then into me.

I was in the hospital for 2 weeks with a broken leg, 2 fractures in my hip, had to have my spleen and part of my liver taken out, and a whole bunch of scares.

Default My choice order

1. Brickyard - may be last year to be offered - best changes in sun

2. Le Mans Sunset - have an old '77 in similar color

3. Chrome Silver - flash - good all around

Choices 4 to 8 have about equal value for me.
4. Silverstone
5. Daytona Blue
6. Redline
7. Pikes Peak White
8. Super Black

Now tell me, if you had a date with Jennifer Garner, would you care about hair color?

No I wouldn't care what color her hair is, but I also don't have to pick hair color. Thats where my problem is, I dont care what color I just know that I have to pick one
