well, after a lengthy (and stressful) application process to the Graduate School or Professional Accounting at Northeastern University i finally received a letter of acceptance (only accept 30% or less of applicants, im psyched!) and will be starting there june 16th. unfortunately its impractical to have 2 cars while forking out 35G's (definitely some loans coming for this one) and since im paying on the GTP (and it gets better gas mileage and is fully warrantied) and cant take it off the insurance the camaro gets to hibernate until i hit the lottery or graduate (15 month program) and start making some serious dough as a CPA. looks like that cam, suspension, and NX kit will either get slowly installed by me or just sit around until im done. oh well.........its for the best i guess. and i promise when i am all done and have paid back my loans shell get some special attention (though probably nowhere near what some of the big HP LT1 guys are giving there cars this year, lol). ill have a lil work done to the GTP so maybe that will be my dyno car until im done!
just thought id pass the sad news.........

congrats on getting in man!

sucks that you gotta park the Z, but this will give you the time you need to work out those little kinks

yes, the little kinks like my brake system being all pissy, my opti miss, and rewiring my stereo, lol. thanks for the support jay, if anyone can empathize with how much it sucks to put your pride and joy on the backburner, its you (and maybe dannows6). dont worry, like i said itll be back and better than ever when i complete the program. sucks i have so many parts that wont be installed.....

of course im keeping it! i wouldnt dream of selling it and the only reason im not kicking my ass for selling my Iroc is becasue it allowed me to buy my current Z (though i still regret selling it). of course the tips are still yours man. i put in my request to drop most of my insurance coverage......so i guess its a reality from here on in......

im dropping everything i have that i can drop totally off (like collision) and everything else to the minimum. i think comprehensive may be staying the same or a little less, which im keeping in case of fire or theft etc, plus it will allow me to drive it when i want and keep my plates, ill just have to be EXTRA careful.

just remember when your done with the program, you can fully deck out the Z and the GTP!

sleeperZ96BT
05-21-2003, 07:28 AM
yeah, thats the plan. ill probably bring the GTP to the dyno day though since it will have some new mods on it and the camaro wont be in dyno-type shape. mmmmmmm...............2 11 second cars......someday......

sleeperZ96BT
05-22-2003, 04:56 PM
yep, wouldnt you do the same thing man if it meant getting your cam and nitrous installed?? i bet you would! plus ill prolly make a little bit of money on it since i got it on GP at a GREAT price. plus i can build a MUCH BETTER suspension than a level 1 man..............mmmmmm.....hal 12 ways...............lol. i know it was a PITA to get it, but at least i dont have to say i have any SLP parts on my car....i HATE them man............
