I used to live in Midland. I would have graduated from Lee High School in 2003, but I moved to Dallas in 2002.

My mom and sister participated a lot in the West Texas Cruisers car club.

Really? Well... you were still in the same graduating class as my sister, who did graduate from Lee.

I don't remember your car... but it has been a long time... We shared the silver '95 Z28 with the black roof. Do you remember it?

My friend Steven has a green Tiburon with a Trans Am Ram Air hood scoop on it, maybe you know of it...
