Thanks man. No LSx going in...

As far as selling this thing for dirt cheap,, never gonna happen. I wouldn't take less then 15 for it with all the suspension/Tranny/motor work that's been done to it. And finding someone to pay out that kind of money for it, well won't happen. GTO?? Fu** a GTO My next car is going to be a C5 or C6 Z06

Don't speak either name since you're not running either set up. It's a good thing my boy Elliott can't get his hands on you because he's not exactly a SMALL dude and he would probably light your *** up

"Grab my arm, NO!! My other arm." That is the funniest part of that movie. Sorry to hear about the problems. You'll have it back together soon.

I'm a little nervous to get back on to be honest. Went for a cruise today with my buddies to get my mind of things. Weather is awesome here in Oregon! Got some good runs in and some video.
