Default Car is Sold: Need to spread some thanks

I know this doesn't really belong in this section but most of the people I know come to this section.

I decided to sell the car a couple months ago ... for various reasons, among them is that I raced once in two years, wasn't driving the car much and I was getting a little bored with it. But I guess the final decision came down to the fact that I wanted a different car. I toyed with getting a late model C5 convertable but in the end we decided as a family that we'll sell the T/A, invest the money and wait for a good deal to come along on the next project car. We are doing an addition to the house that includes a shop, so the timing for a new project will be perfect.

Anyway, the old timers here know the trials and tribulations I have been through but even through the hard times searching for speed there were two constants. That is why I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Alan Futral and Angie & Geoff w/ Thunder Racing for the past six years of automotive excitement. Both shops contributed a lot to my quest for speed. I know I helped their bottom line at times but I always felt that I got what I paid for never left disappointed. I can't say enough how much I respect their abilities, honesty, integrity, craftsmanship and most of all friendship for the past six years.

All in all I have enjoyed the LS1 community immensly and have made some life long friends through the purchase of a 99' Trans Am. How often can you say that a purchase has changed your life for the better?

I am not going away, I will still moderate and participate on this board if PSJ and 9ball will have me. I plan on an LS1 project when I get the next car but in the mean time happy motoring everyone.

In the words of Donald Trump's latest reality show, "You're Fired". Now, get the hell out of here.



Your next project better have an LS1 in it or at least an LS1 conversion

sorry to see you lose the t/a, but i'm sure the bug will have you buying a new (and probably faster) project soon enough. Good luck on the addition, and get something cool to fill it with

I was sad to hear the car was sold, but I know you have plans for another LS1.

You and your car are the big reason why I got so into the LS1 performance scene. The first mod I ever did was your old B&M Ripper shifter (which I still have). Thanks for helping me install it.
