Well my friends, the time has come. I traded in the
"1 HOT Z" today, which should be called the Once Hot Z as pictures are about to tell. I decided to trade in the car because it had a bunch of problems and such that I didn't feel like messing with anymore. Will I miss it? Sure, but I'll only miss its glory days and those are LONG gone. Anyways, here's the pics to tell the story.
Bought her new in 2004 with a salvaged title for about $5,000.
Slowly modded it into one of the nicer J's on the site
Then, I decided to part it out, and I bought myself a Jet ski and a Third Gen Camaro with the money. Sold those. Bought this today:
And, traded in the Z24.
It had 80,000 miles, high idle problems (GOODBYE!
), exterior was terrible and needed new paint and parts, some small rust, and the car was just a complete mess. The pictures make it look better than it really is actually. So here they are, the last pics of the 1nce HOT Z!
Thanks for looking, and I must say its been a really fun time. I'll definitely still be on the org every day and posting pictures of the S-10! Lastly, I just wanted to mention that if anyone has any pics of my car from back in the day, PLEASE POST THEM!! Thanks!
congrats bro, you're gonna have to swing it by sometime so i can check it out.
i think i have some pics of our cars from JCO 2 yrs ago. ill see if cant dig em up
SS mirrors and chrome front bumper with Xtreme valence or Envoy conversion is a must
.
Good to see you picked it up.
Sad to see it go. I remember your orange one back in the day when I found you on cardomain I think

please get the stock xtreme bumper on asap
im not sure what joe is talkin bout but...lol

That was one of the hottest cavs on this site no doubt.. Good luck with the truck mark
the car looked so good at its peak. good luck with the s10
Always loved the S10 Extreme but they look best bagged, cutting down weeds.
ive got some clear corners from my s10 sitting here if you want em?..lol

definitely an upgrade from the cav... im sure youll have fun with it...

I got a piece of the history on my car....
well mark atleast ya had a good run. now time to have fun w/ the dime!
One of my original favs with the type J and prostock. Made my decision for body kit real easy. Good luck with the new ride.
Sweet whip in its day, cant wait to see the sex-10 when it is done.
Oh, and I totally agree w/Joe on the front end.
JO3Y - I'll bring it by soon man! Also i'll probably bring it to some cruise nights or something for the hell of it. See if you can find those pics!!
Joe Schulte - I may do the SS mirrors and I do want the Xtreme valance, not sure about the chrome bumper though.
GaRsNoW - That was sooo long ago and I do remember that. I liked your red cavy too back in the day! Thanks for remembering my orange one!!
Jnickel - I already might have an Xtreme front bumper lined up, and I won't be a stranger here at all!
Mr. Kleindl - Thanks for the kind words, your cars have always been my favorites too!
Hor - Me too, always wanted an S-10.
(tabs) - Thanks bro.
Vitamin E - Unfortunately, I'm not going for a show truck so it won't be bagged. They do look sick bagged though!
EYEOPNR - I'll probably stick with the stockers for now, but if you wanna get rid of em really cheap I'd consider it! I also hate the stepsides and wouldn't have bought it if it was. I can't wait to have fun with the truck!
02RedBagged - Thanks man, your car is awesome btw.
Cody - Yeah you do, I'm counting on you to finish that car up now!!
Ressurected J - I did have a good run thats true, but its far from over man. I'll still be around here and around town and I'm sure I'll see you at shows and such!
uFlip06 - Glad I could help man, your car looks great with the Type-J!
John Benham - Thanks for all your help in the other thread man!
Thanks to everyone who is leaving a comment!! It's awesome to hear some of these things!
Brings back memories... I remember seeing the car at the North Tonowanda Super Cruise a few years back and was very impressed and glad I got to talk with ya. I've still got my Cavy but sadly it hasn't seen the road much in the past 2 years due to setback after setback with my turbo build... If the car doesn't see the road in the next few weeks I will likely part it out completely and sell the car NA... the project has just beat me down and made me hate the car.

That's too bad. Car was MINT in it's prime. Easily one on my Favorite's for sure.
All good things come to an end though.
Good choice on the S-10 for sure.
Take care, & change your sig! LOL

jimmyC99Z24 - I remember you man, and actually I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was the only award I won with the car, and I have it right here by me. Your car was awesome and hopefully you get it back up and running again! Are you going to the Super Cruise this year? I'll be there!
Kevin Richter - Do I have to change my sig?
haha just kidding I probably will soon.
Cavy was nice, truck is even nicer. When I get my cav paid off, I'm going to look around for an S-10 Extreme. If I had one, I'd do a 350 swap....

Go Bills!
YES! Lets go Buffalo! I just spent the last 20 minutes on the Bills Message Boards too, haha!
wow your car was so hot, shame you parted it out but I'm sure you'll do great things with the s-10 =)
^Thanks, I think your car is one of the hottest on the site! As for doing great things with the S-10, I'm not sure but I'll probably do some very subtle mods!
