Got my car in Readers Rides in Chevy High Performance

Page 93.

The picture is a little dark. Not the best one I sent in by far but not bad. Just thought I would share. Thanks.

It's not really black. It's Charcoal Metallic. Like I said, the picture is dark but yes it's mine.

I sent those pictures in over a year and a half ago! I only found out about the pic because someone I work with told me he saw my car. I might not of even found out myself if it weren't for a little luck!

Thanks Kandied! I am just disappointed they picked that picture. I sent easily 15-20 pics to Chevy High Performance. I included that one as a WHEEL shot. Thought the Centerlines looked good. Oh well. What's new with the show car? How did that K-member go? ETC ETC. LOL

Kandied, it's been awhile since I was on Thirdgen.org. Last I knew you were getting a tubular K-Member. Just wanted to see how that went.

2 Years! Maybe I need to have my head checked. I know I have been on in the last two years. Sorry about the confusion. How does that air ride work? Handle OK? Etc.
