I got it as a graduation present from my parents. They bought my SS and a Malibu for my brother. They told us if we graduated college we could have them.

So I graduated in 2006. i got caught up with other stuff and the chevelle got neglected. I got engaged last August, bought a house in January, and am getting married in July. The car sat for a few years and the tires dry rotted.

Last week I finally got tax refund and I started ordering parts. I got the tires on, new battery, and fresh gas. Turned the key and it wouldnt turn over. Changed the neutral safety switch and it fired up. Only thing I need now is brakes.

So I plan on getting new brakes in two weeks then move the car to my house.

I got big plans but I'm gonna drive it as it sits for a while and save some money. Already been told by my future wife that I can't buy any parts til after we get married.

Haha! Glad you got that.... lol.

If you need anything, holler at me or Wes. Both of us graduated from college last year, so we're not much younger than yourself.
