From the way back machine



RIP Camaro



The V



I also had two 73 Camaro's. I parted out the first one after getting the second one. That was my first engine rebuild. It had a 327 with camel hump heads. Good learning car, but It was no match for the 5.0.

I still have every car I've ever had with the exception of a Fiero parts car and a $300 Toyota that I'm not sure where it went...
'68 Corvair 500 (no pics).
The Fiero. Obviously a work in progress, but it has been neglected for a while. Too many projects, not enough time/money...




'84 K5 Blazer (plan to sell it or give it to my sister):


'04 CTS-V which is now my parts car as this

turned into this


The other '04 V:


'97 Talon TSi AWD (was building it for wheel to wheel racing, but am currently parting it out):


'04 F-450 (no pictures. Plans have changed so it's up for sale).

'07 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (Vortech, headers, etc):



Ha! Ran across a picture of the Camry...

Here are my current rides..

Of course the 04V - Ive had it for 10 months, it now has 21K on it, I bought it with 8K.
I currently have a pile of parts to put on (cs mounts, kooks, catback, short shifter, etc)



Before the V came, I have owned 7 Taurus SHO's...and still have 2 of them. I have a knack for sleeper sport sedans, so naturally the V with its sexy body lines was the next step for me.

Heres my 90 SHO...bored, forged, low-comp, cams, LSD, 13" brakes and a vortech supercharger pushing 419whp. Can handle more, but it eats '3rd gears' like candy as it is.



Last year, I **** when I found an 89 SHO for $500 on craigslist, that surprisingly ended up having nearly all of the same mods as my SC SHO! Its the PERFECT sleeper!




Yay for fun performance versions of the Taurus and CTS!

Yes it is. Last new car I bought and will probably ever buy. Most cars depreciate to much for me to buy new anymore.

That was a fun car. I had to order it to get that sky blue color. JBA shorty headers, 3.73 gears, K&N intake and Magnaflow exhaust. I surprise a lot of people with that car. It had a 3.30 first gear. If you got the launch right it was an instant two car lengths and most people never caught up.

Had that car for 18 years.

Me too.

Hell, I'd be happy with what I should be getting. Having an 02 wiring issue that I haven't been able to figure out that is causing way too much fuel to be dumped in.

My car life started with a 89 Mitsu Sigma(so old Google doesnt want to find a picture of it)

Then I got a 1995 Honda Civic Hatch with a B18B LS motor and mild bolt ons(cannot find pictures of her but I know they are around somewhere.

After her I got my 2004 Nissan SER SpecV



After the SERs demise I moved upto the 2005 Subaru Legacy GT

More gigantic photos can be found here: The last photoshoot with the legacy

And she has now been sold to make way for the new hotness. My ************:

Started out with a 82 zx. Did a larger turbo, Megasquirt stand alone and a huge front mount intercooler. It made 315hp to the tires.



Next I wanted a truck, its a 94 two door yukon with a solid axle swap up front and sitting on 37's. Lockers front and rear, the thing would climb up a mountain.




Needed a work truck for a while, don't even ask why I'm making T. It was a 05 with the 6.0l and a six speed manual.



Sold the truck and got into the LS world with a 98 camaro. Head,cam, spray and a 9" but i never got it into the 10's before the motor popped.



Bought a bike, and never rode it. 06 gsxr 750cc


Had an 02 M3, it was a nice car but a TURD. I got my *** handed to me by a c5 vette and that's when I started looking for a V.


Now I drive the raptor as a daily, and the Z06 and V are weekend drivers.
