Talking Hi, everyone!

Hello!! I am new to this site. I had a '99 TA which, unfortunately, was hit by a drunk driver last month (see post under 'vehicles for sale').

I've owned two Corvettes (a '75 Stingray and an '84), but my Trans Am was by far more fun to drive.

Welcome aboard Allie8962. You will love it here



I've been out that way, I love the Cadillac Ranch. I went there with my friend Brad, to talk with Tom From Speed INC.

I had lots of fun there. People were so pleasant. I hope go back there when I buy my Corvette. I'm sure that I won't be able to keep it stock for long. Every car I've owned has been modified, I think it's a desease. .

Haha, Cadillac Ranch!!! Bunch of suburban wannabe rednecks. Huge belt buckles everywhere.

I made the mistake of going there...once. Only bonus was a 1 minute drive home!
