Default Reached a new milestone!!!



Finally rolled over 50K coming back from C&C Houston a couple weeks back. Not bad considering I've owned her since new in 95'.

Here's how she sits as of today:

Looks new to me. I wish I had 50k. I have 80k now I put 30k miles in 6 years of owning it.

Any cracks on the dash?

The dash pad was replaced (upper) a couple years back since the stocker had one crack near the defrost vent. Other than that she's a blast and plan on keeping her for a long time!!!!

I know - I know!!!

Wife has me on lock down for now, and might be able to do it late next year. We'll see.

Those AFR 190's are a little out dated and it would give me the opportunity to bump the comp up a well.

Looks very clean from the pic. Not much wear and tear on the lower part of the car.

Thanks guys, she was put out of daily comission back in 2000 when I graduated college and only see's about 100-200 miles a year now. Motor is strong but with this LE custom cam she could be much stronger with a better flowing set of heads - Neil is right. Not sure when I'm gonna pull the trigger as my wife will freak when I wanna spend the money.
