Had the balt for three weeks and Finally had a chance to wash it properly so thought I would post a couple pics.

Hey Hotwheelz, nice car, its exactly like the one I'm getting. But how about some interior pics, and what color did you choose for the inserts?

HotWheelz

ya, theres about 55000 americans where i'm stationed, can't really get away from them. Lowering it is on my list of mods, but since Santa just brought Stage 2 it's gonna be a couple months. I'll get some of the interior tomorrow as it's already dark here, but the inserts are blue.

Looks very nice! Love the black, but of course I am a bit biased.....can't wait until mine gets fixed up

I was about to say what an odd neighborhood. Duplexes that all have a simular design with BMWs. Then I realized you were in germany, which explains the BMWs. So more than likely you are Air Force. Which explains all the homes being Duplexes and looking the same.

im just wondering how much it cost to get that car to germany lol you must be one hell of an enthusiast

HotWheelz

Actually, I'm in the Army. I got lucky though and am stationed on an Airbase. Man they have it good. As for the shipping, it cost me $2303 to get it from St. Louis, MOf to my location here in GE. I bought the balt because I wanted a car I could pay cash for and that I could drive on the autobahn and keep up or at least try to keep up with the German cars here. That and we figured it was going to cost at least that much to get a second car when we got here so why not get the car I want and just ship it. So far it's been fun, although I wish we had a 6th gear for cruising cause being legally able to cruise at 100-120 I found my gas mileage really sucks.

Nice dude, now it's exactly like the car I want. What other options did you put on it. Also mine will have the smaller wing.

Ahhhhhhhh The Autobahn must be sweet.

Hotwheelz, didn't you say in another thread that you were testing out the car on the autobahn and the cameras or what ever they are caught you going to fast. Did you get a ticket or anything for that?

HotWheelz

Well unfortunately I wasn't familiar with the LSD option and the idiot at the dealer wasn't either and since I knew I was coming to Germany I didn't need XM and Onstar(doesn't work here) so i ended up going with the Base SS/SC. That and if I wanted black it was the only one within a 1000 mile radius so I didn't have much of a choice. I agree about the wing, I don't much care for it, but now that I'm in GE the box for one of those would be too big to send USPS, so I'm kinda screwed. My goal was also to pay for the car with my trade in and as little cash as possible and come out of the deal not owing anything. Anyway, the autobahn is sweet it's cool to be cruising at 100mph and still get my doors blown off by a german built car. One of the civilians I work with has an ZO6 Vette so were making plans when the weather clears up and I get stage 2 and the CAI in the balt for a day at the Nurbergring.

Ya, I got my photo taken while doing about 20K over the limit up near Frankfurt. I was cruising down the autobahn, 4 lanes wide w/no restrictions then hit a spot where the speed limit went to 120K for about 1.5 miles and then back to no restrictions. I let off the gas and had just about slowed down to the speed limit when BAM, three red flashes to my left just a few feet on the other side of an over pass as i came under it. It sucked, but the cool thing is it won't go to my insurance and it wasn't 30K or more over so I won't be assessed any points either. I havn't recieved the ticket yet cause it usually takes 2 to 3 months to get it, but expect it will be between 75 and 100 Euro's(about 100 to 130 US). Cameras suck and the thing is these ones weren't even there just a month earlier when I picked up my family at the airport. Oh well, live and learn.

an0malous

omg i hate you!!!!

HotWheelz

Don't hate, it was the luck of the draw I ended up stationed here. I came in day after xmas and the guy with the ZO6 hands me his keys says I can drive it to lunch if he can drive mine. Wasn't about to turn down an opportunity to do that so we traded cars over lunch and then ran um hard up the autobahn to the restaraunt. Holy crap the ZO6 rocks, I wish I could talk my wife into one of those.

Now you really suck! Just a question, how tall are you, anyway? And nice dog, it's cute looking on the seats, I'd just be worried about the nails puncturing the leather.

Boosted_SS

is that Roscoe P Coltrain's new ride? sorry the dog brings back memories of the dukes of hazard

HotWheelz

Not really, but he loves to ride in the car, ears flappin in the wind and everything.

HotWheelz

like the title reads, my best friend. as for the seats no worries he hasn't done it yet, just gotta make sure to keep his nails cut, specially since he loves riden in the car. I'm 69" inches tall why?

Pinky Demon

iTrader: (1)

Well, I wanted to know how tall your were, because at least you can fit into the Z06. I have so many problems fitting in, I hope the new Camaro is bigger.

HotWheelz

the owner of the ZO6 is about 3 inches taller than me and with the seat all the way back he fits just about right in it.

Pinky Demon

And he's around 6' tall right?

HotWheelz

yep, 6' or 6' 1"
