And Coweta license plate, and the car was bought from SouthTowne Chevrolet (had the little dealership emblem on the trunk lid), so he's definitely a local down here. Had the chrome fuel lid as well. No other mods that I could see or hear. I thought he had a small intercooler, but it turned out to be a cooler line in front of the radiator playing tricks on my eyes.

:EDIT: Other point of interest, the rearview mirror in the windshield was missing.

Yes, it had black rims. I remember seeing it there too.

This was spotted around 2:30pm on I-85N in Newnan.

Ya i didnt get a good look at the driver, but i want to say he was maybe upper 30's lower 40's in age. He was nice, he waved. I also saw a white NA up there with a rollbar, I flipped my lights, lol but he didnt do anything.

Oh, probably not him then. This was a kid (maybe 21 at the most) with a shaved head.

Wow. IDK then. From Newnan to 129 (in Athens or even Gainesville) is a good hour + drive. It's possible, but as you can see in the picture, we were stopped in traffic because they're doing roadwork for 30 miles. I got off my exit about 2:45pm and he was still right in front of me. Who knows.

Hey, take it as a compliment. :lol: You're still younger than me. :D
Eh, taking pictures while driving is something I have been able to do well for a very long time.

6spd, be glad you didnt purchase it. that fool who owned it before me never waxed it or polished it thus i have waterspots that clay bar or buffing wont get out. i get a symphony of road noises thanks to him cutting the shift boot to put that damn ricer civic knob on. not to mention the back fender is a diff color thanks to a poor color matched paint touchup

Which boot? The leather one or the rubber ones? If the leather one was cut, noise levels won't change, but if the rubber ones were cut (which is pretty stupid if that was done) or are worn out, that's where you'll get your noise from. Might be time to replace the two rubber boots and the insulation that's under there.
