I remember meeting you one night in Lees Summit off of 291 when your car looked like that. Doubtful you remember me but I was driving a gray 3rd gen trans am at the time.

Kinda cool to see that picture after all these years.

No, I don't remember having my car out in Lee Summit when it looked like that, but I'm sure I did once or twice

Very nice Fade. I remember asking you a couple questions back in the day before I did my swap. Hard to imagine back then I would've went from a stock little V6 to my current heads/cam LS1. Clean swap.

Major transformation. I don't like the ground effects at all but the 3.8 to LS1 ,stock hood to new hood/wheels are major!

Yeah I remember those wheels in the picture I quoted. I loved them. This was a LONG time ago. Back in the mofba.com and .org days so it was quite a while..
