Derek, you hit the nail on the head right there. It's so important that another enthusiast is getting it so he can appreciate the effort put forth into that machine.

I'm sure I'll be reading Kev's stories in the Kills section every night.

No car and no bike leaves me stuck in the ville for a long time. How about you with your Starion/Conquest endeavors? Marc told me that you're looking into a DSM now?

When are you gonna make up your mind, lol? TBI, I said it before and I'll say it again, just go with a 4th gen f-body...you can't go wrong! Haha, take care man.

Well i just quit my job at UPS after being there 2 years kinda nuts huh...but i got re-hired at walmart full time making real good money ....13.10/hour...i almost bought a 88 conquest but the deal fell through after i found out that he lied to me about several things done to the car. My friend with the 11 second LT1 said he got a DSM he wants me to look at friday...92 GS-T with 60k miles...full exhaust w/downpipe...boost controller bov and intake...he said it should trap 105 plus the price cant be beat (i cant even list the price its so low). So well c wut happens...man i almost had a 4th Gen Z28 LS1...but i just couldnt justify paying more for insurence then the car payment...

I beg to differ, just ask GeorgeC. He'll tell you that bone stock the bike won't touch 9's on a street tire unless it's an experienced rider. He has a few mods and took good air near 0 DA for him to trip the 9s. Bikes aren't my thing either, but buying something that will rip 140+ mph stock with a good rider is damn cool, although I don't have the ***** to do it!
