I came from a 95 V6 Mustang as my first car(slow as ****, but did it ever look bad ***). I should find pictures, got into an accident and collected all the insurance money an fixed it myself. Couldnt get a V8 until I had a clean record for a year. A year later the Mustang was sold, and I found the TA, I was looking for a LT1 at the time thinking that was all I could afford, but low and behold I came accross a steal. Had this car for just under 5 years. Wow, seems longer than I thought! Was down for a year after the bolt made its way through the motor (F*(&#* dealers)
Hey, anyone here looking for a sport bike? Still got mine forsale!!

it was worth a try.
Yeah i messed up about a month ago...I bought my car blown up mid summer last year and started building. Well about a month 1/2 ago theres a kid mid 20's or so that had a silver 00 or 01 trans am A4 with a new set of chrome AR rebels and tires on it. He got arrested and needed the money real bad and told me hed take $4000 for the car...I didnt have the money i shouldve just went to the bank and took out a loan and bought it kinda makes me sick lol

Haha guess thats the only reason im so happy with mine...I built it.
This spring maybe you all can come down to the Iowa speedway in newton instead of driving all the way to eddyville or cederfalls. The tracks not prepped as well, but it is a regular 1/8th it was kind of a joke when it started out now it seems to be really coming along. Just an idea, plus its only 20 miles away from me

We all need to head to tri-state in the spring. That is a very nice track. I would be willing to head down to Newton just to run for the hell of it and basically "street race" people since there is no prep there. There were quite a few cars there that night we were there.
Anyone talk to you the Rookies people yet? We need to get something going on that as well.

Nice to see another Grinnellian on here. Grew up there. I get back there frequently to visit family. Usually put the beater in Happy Days or the Park show. Next time I'm in O'Reilly's I'll look for an F-body in the lot.

I never do Happy days because theres to many people there that whine if they dont win, to me its a car show and you go there to hang out have fun and check out everyone elses hard work. But i will go to the Vintage auto show up at the park.
I dont drive it to work to much anymore the houses around the store have a bunch of youngins and they seem to be just learning how to skate board and ride bikes..

Haha, yeah my girlfriend said I looked pretty redneck, and I agree. I had to shovel the driveway to get the car out. It's my Great Grandma's house and she moved to Oklahoma so no one is living there except the SS. Started the car up, shoveled the driveway and sidewalks, backed the car out, took the picture, then put her back in the garage under the cover. There is about 3 feet of slush, snow, ice at the end of the driveway from the snow plows. I couldn't get the car out of the driveway even if I wanted to, haha.

Our school goes through Thursday. Have to go back the 3rd of January which sucks, but oh well. Slacker? Hardly, haha. Although my job is pretty easy. I am coaching 7th grade boys basketball as well and the 6 AM practices are starting to get to me. I am ready for a break.

Very nice! I think I have you beat on lope, but definitly not on the track. Very nice car!I almost went stroker when I re-did my motor, but I was a poor 17 yr old kid and could only build up a stock cube. Maybe I can get some nitrous help from you, I have forged internals all broken in now (4k miles) ready to be sprayed. Kind of scared to get the ball rolling on that though.... Speed Inc Powered I see, I got all my parts, everything but the actual motor from there and did the work myself, then drove there for a dyno tune as well! Great guys to work with. Looks like you/speed inc did well!
Don't be afraid of a little nitrous, just don't be shy asking questions, buy good parts & it will be fine.
I'm going back to the juice for 2008, I took my kit off & sold it near the end of the season this year.
