As I posted in my Dance thread, Belen is no longer parked with Colleen. Yes, I am upset that I let that F-Body go, but what gearhead has never "regretted" having sold/got rid of a certain car? She has plenty of potential, but I just was not able to take care of her like she deserves. The owner(?) of the dealership that I bought Shianne (my 4th gen Camaro) from said that he may very well buy the thing from his dealership and turn it into a project of his own. I warned him against it, but he had stars in his eyes. I guess Belen is able to charm just about anyone, huh? I was given $1,000 for Belen: $640 for the T/A rims that I bought from Discount Tire and never did mount, and $360 for Belen herself. Nice thing about Carfax is that I can check from time to time and see what she's up to. Belen, you will be missed, I apologize I wasnt able to restore you to even a portion of your potential. Run hard, girl. May all your lights be green, all your lanes be free, and your fuel never go dry. Below is a pic I took at the dealership after taking responsibility for Shianne but before signing responsibility over to the dealership. Yes, folks, I owned 2 F-Bodies and a W-Body all at the same time yesterday at 9:30 AM CST.

I was debating KITT project, but that's been WAY over done. I was thinking something on the lines of gMachine or ProStreet, something like that. Oh, well. As much as it hurt to do so, she's someone else's headache now.
