Default New member in Pearland/Houston

Hey folks,

I finally signed up for this site. Been lurking for a while. I have a 2002 Z28 that I've had about a year and a half. I've always been into fast cars but this is the first one I've actually owned due to a costly pursuit of becoming a commercial pilot (which I now am but make so much more money being an engineer that I don't fly any more). I had a Civic hatch in HS that I thought was fast until I rode in a Vette.

I live in Pearland (old Pearland near Friendswood - I hardly ever go to the 288/Silverlake area). Other than cars I'm quite into golf and the space program (which is where I work). I am new to LS1's but in college I helped my roomate build a 91 GTA into a carbed 7000 rpm 383 monster with the first couple years earnings from his first real job (he was a couple years older than me); that was a fun car to build and we both learned a whole lot doing it, we started with very little knowledge and made a lot of mistakes (lost a driveshaft at about 90mph - that was fun) but I guess that is the point.

Anyway, just wanted to let yall know who I am... glad to be here.

Welcome!

Reason I love this site is because the amount of information you can find on it.

If you have a problem with you're car there is a 99.9% chance that other people on the site have ran into the same problem. And there is usually a fix to it!


Anyways enjoy you're stay.

I live in Pearland now. I grew up in Webster until junior high then we moved to Clear Lake, so not far away. When we bought a house we moved to the other side of the freeway just to have a little "distance" from the parents... we both have great parents but you know how it can be some times.

This side of Pearland is the best. You're basically halfway between everything. Welcome to the club!
