Default To all you motor heads!



TODAYtoday……today……(echo)
I am the happiest guy on EARTH….on earth……on earth.
Today I paid off my Blue Twin Turbo SUPERCRUZER…..supercruzer……supercruzer.
AND….and……and, I am BROKE…….broke…..broke…. but HAPPY…….happy……happy!
Thank you all for the help and wisdom and inspiration.
And thank you all for being motor heads as bad or worse then me, so I know I was not crazy when I took my brand new 33,000 dollar SS and ripped it apart, put twin turbo on it; and beat on it like it was a 1000 dollar 77 z28 with headers and a flipped over air filter lid .
Thank you……
Stew.
Ps. Just put a 9” in.

I've got a Vietnamese guy at work who ask me, "Why you tear up new car?". I said. "I don't know Thoai, I really don't know". That was back when the car had 5000 miles on it. I'm glad the car is now yours instead of the banks. Enjoy it.

Lucky mutt! I still have a bit to go on my Firehawk. I've done all the motor mods, engine bling, I've only got $3000 in mine if you include the fortified T56. I did all the polish work myself. I can't wait till have more cash to do the FI stuff.

One of the best feelings is when you get THE title from bank.
That my friend is the feeling of freedom. And threre's a bonus.
Besides not feeling weird about modding a car that's not paid off, you also have more cash to mod it with! It is a great feeling.

Congratulations!!!!

Thanks to all,
With a incon kit at only 8# I hope the stock short block goes at least 1 more season Jerr.
My wish list is almost complete.
All that is left is a forged s.b., built M6 and a 6 point cage.
Thats a short but expensive list.

Came a long way from my first thread,
anyone remember 'two years and no CAS TT' stickie
Thanks again,
Stew
