No shit: Today I met up with a guy from Kentucky in Arkansas and traded him my lifted pickup truck for his Camaro.

This was perhaps the most redneck moment of my life.

My truck had a bunch of shit done to it making it not worth selling, however it didn't fit the parking garage at my new job while getting 15mpg on the 35 mile drive there. I originally wanted to grab a trans am or a z28 for the drive- something I like but can pull high 20 mpg.

It was a motherfucker finding a stock one with a clean title under 100k miles for anything resembling a reasonable price. I called one dude up in Kentucky and it turns out he was selling it to buy a truck for a business he was starting. He liked all the mods (bigger V8, beefed up trans, locker, bigger tires, cranked torsion bars, etc).

I figured it was going to save me a grand on sales tax alone by trading rather than buying one, so I traded the guy straight up. Since I no longer have a truck (and putting a tow hitch on a Camaro is entirely too redneck for me), I'm getting a space at the track and storing the bike at the track. Saves me from getting registration and inspection on the bike and I can drop insurance.

I can feel the hair on the back of my head growing faster already :lmao

:lol nice well at least it worked out for ya

Make sure to put your riffle at the back of your new car:lmao

Congrats:cheers

Lol, yeah, I've had the truck since college. I used it a lot to go snowboarding and then to haul the bike around. I did a lot to the truck (6liter engine swap, tuning, headers, exhaust, trans upgrade, stall, locker, wheels, tires, adjustable shocks, etc etc etc). The guy got a good truck, but I didn't need it anymore and it was impossible to sell.

I'll get some pics today. It's a bone stock Black Z28 6spd manual, fully loaded, every option except the SS package.

Best way I can think of to get 28mpg at a reasonable price.

word. my buddy (technically his wife, but she shouldn't have been driveing) trashed a trans am this past winter. was a fun car til then.

+1.

Congrats for you, I'm envious of the track but I think I would miss the drive and commute on a bike everyday as well... but I'm not riding for many years like some of you guys either.
