MAF = PITA

It was unusually warm around here today so I decided to do a little work on the car. got the reflective rear insert on, and the 2 LS2GTO.com stickers on the rear windows. finished early so I decided to put the CAI on. Then I said the dumbest thing......"this should only take 30 minuets"

boy was I wrong. took 2.5 hours. getting the old intake out took 45 minuets because I was trying to be careful, and if I find the guy that designed this thing I will kick him in the nuts. I eventually gave up and just riped the thing out. well it took me over a hour to line up the MAF on the new air box and get it screwed in tight. its not a design fault, its just I really could have used a second set up hands to hold all the needed parts in place. Well as I am finishing things up a guy pulls up in a truck and chats me up. come to find out he has a 64 GTO. pretty cool guy, and I finished up as the clouds started to rolled in.

How I found my dream

Backstory:

I spent 15 months deployed to Kosovo, all the time looking for a Trans Am or GTO for when I got home. well that time came and went and there were none to be found within a reasonable distance with the options, color combo, price I wanted. I had actually given up and had set my mind on the new G8 from Pontiac.

Well as I was packing up to go home for Christmas on 21 DEC 2007 I just happen to have been wasting time by screwing around on the web. I found myself at autotrader.com looking around. I had actually not been to autotrader since I got back from overseas so I still had my parents info in the search parameters. I didn't realize this, or the fact that I forgot to set the search radius as I hit search resulting in only a 25 mile search radius. I remember realizing that as I hit search and uttered a word or 2 waiting for the page to load so I could change my search options. Well to my surprise 5 GTO's popped up. and at the top of the list was a blue on blue, M6, LS2 GTO. Mileage was a little more than I wanted but I figured I would check it out since I had come up with nothing in the last 17 months.

22 DEC 2007
I head out to the dealer to see the car. come to find out he is a car enthusiast also. http://www.autotrader.com/dealer/ddetail.jsp?dealer_id=56541857
I fell in love with it as soon as I got in the car. To say the least I left the lot with the GTO. Now I just have to figure out how the hell to get my Firebird back from my parents place lol

lol @ your music choice Grin

Good looking car man, I don't think I've ever seen it in person yet. You going to head out to some events this summer?

If you need a hand with any more installs, hit me up on here and I'll try to help.

I love that color as well, and especially the blue interior. I kinda wish my Goat had at least some orange inserts on the doors and in the middle of the seats. Personally I think that would've complimented the gauge cluster.
