Downtown on saturday definitely was sweet! First time I've seen the bridge with american cars outnumbering imports. Normally its Honda-palooza down there

I was actually going to go downtown on Saturday but flaked out because of that new noise ordinance **** they passed to try and curb the numbers of people downtown. If you cars exhaust or sound is audible more than 50ft from your car they will most likely ticket you, so I'm kinda live bait down there

On another note the 20/30 society is having a cruise in tomorrow. If weather holds out should be sweet as we have the entire parking lot north of the centers in back I believe. This is a new spot/event so there should be a lot of people out. At the last location in May we had a Ferrari, Maserati, Mustang, NSX, Evo, Supra, bunch of old muscle cars, whatever you can think of it was probably there.

True... And yes I am kinda scared about the new exhaust ordinance with my car also but haven't gotten pulled over yet..

You should invite me up to some good race spots up in Ames or Boone then.. Or we should all go to Newton or Eddyville soon

Get your new 12-bolt or 9 inch and then let that bitch RIP with the 2 step!!! That'd be insane with my M/T tires on the back of yours

Hey dave, i saw you on hwy 30 today by united, anyway, that ws6 your talking about i think it is the same one i saw last fall it is black and i talked to the guy and he told me his dad bought it for him for when he got out of the army. he told me he didnt know what was exactly done to it. he said it was bored out cuz the old owner blew it up. the old owner also raced it all the time at eddyville. but he told me it was a heads and cam car with a bottle of "go-go juice " in the rear window, he didnt know what cam it was but to me it sounded pretty damn good. but i havent seen it in a while.

and marc if you wanna come to boone im always out and about in my car if you wanna play around lol

Corrected that one for ya.. Right now I'm running clogged cats and am maybe pushing 260whp... lol its pretty pathetic especially from rolls... It does much better from a dig though.. Hoping to get some good LT's/ORY/tune and get rid of my emissions here by the end of summer.

The car won't be finished until like 4 years from now but its still a fun ride. I'd still love to see your beautiful car though
