Default Cause I was Bored







Its only been 6 years since my last post.

And this is a lot less expensive than drag racing.



And Oh Yeah, We've been back together since 06' going on 14 Years.



Oh Yeah, the old days.

Life is way different now. House, and motorcycles have taken over. It took a little while to recover form the abuse of the Hawk and the $$$ loss, but alas we have. I am sooooooo mush wiser with this car then the ole cars. Not a whole lot done performance wise, but the stripes are painted, spoiler, brakes, lowered and an intake. Never raced it, thats what the bikes are for. Good to see you guys are still around. I called Ken at Eastside a while back when I got the car and was told that the performance shop closed, dyno gone and now its all mechanical work and what not. Supposedly Jannety Racing in CT is the new place to go in the NE for the LSX work. Drooling over headers and gears.


Anyone ever see my car on here? I think the guy parted it out.

Yup, still have my car, just turned 60k on it. Now it's a forged motor with PI (Mast) heads, D1 procharger, FMIC, and strictly a street car.

Indeed... Not raced much anymore. Bought a condo, got married, not as much time to race as I used to have. Can't just leave class early and head to Atco/ETown.

Still remember that you were the first guy I spoke to at the track, ever, in July of 2001.

Bear,

You smell like ****. That is all. Nice Fiero with a body kit made to look like an SS. Not buying it.

BTW- I have a '12 Kia Sorento V6 with your name on it. bring it loser! 276 Korean horses! It does do some sweet burnouts and I will be taking it Rockingham when I get a moment. The other day I pulled away from a newer C6 without issue. It was parked at Food Lion and the guy was inside but a win is a win in my book. Gotta recognize Korean POWA!

Good to hear from you! That SS looks great. Cool about the bike but just be careful. How long have you been riding?

Following Knicks/Celts? Yankees looking o l d and hurt.

I beg to differ. You and I briefly tinkered with the idea of me buying your black Z in 2008. My ex wanted a car with ttops. That ended that. Buy we DID discuss it. For some reason you didn't like my offer of my '02 Elantra and a coupon to Olive Garden. WTF?

that's because the coupon was expired, ensuring that Marc would have to add the step of ripping off the expiration date before handing it to the waitress. Just too much work to make it worth while.

Ever hear of Slowhawk Performance in Bridgewater, MA? Give him a call, a lot of guys here locally have used him as well as myself.

Dude, I wanted you to throw in that old pair of unwashed socks as well and you just wouldn't budge, just one pair is all I asked for and that was the deal breaker right there.

Hey don't knock it, that 'cut off the expiration date' scheme works roughly 2 out of every 5 attempts LOL.
